A cardboard container for receiving bottles in a vertical configuration comprising:
- a base wall (B), two lateral walls (L1, L2) which are in a single body with the base wall (B) with a relative longitudinal side respectively at two opposite longitudinal sides of the base wall (B) and which are foldable with respect to the base wall (B) so as to enable the container (100) to take on a flattened configuration (I) and an opened-out configuration (V);
- at least one tab (1), in a single body with a first lateral wall (L1) of the two lateral walls (L1, L2) at a first transversal edge (L11) thereof, the tab (1) exhibiting a first portion (11) which is foldable with respect to the first transversal edge (L11) of the first lateral wall (L1);
- a second portion (12), which is foldable with respect to the first portion (11) and which is of such a shape as to exhibit a first side (121) and a second side (122) which are at a different distance from the first portion (11);
- a third portion (13), which is foldable with respect to the first side (121) of the second portion (12) and which is connected to the first lateral wall (L1) in a first position (P1) with respect to the first transversal edge (L11) so as to be foldable also with respect to the first lateral wall (L1);
- a fourth portion (14), which is foldable with respect to the second side (122) of the second portion (12) and which is connected to the first lateral wall (L1) in a second position (P2) with respect to the first transversal edge (L11) so as to be foldable also with respect to the first lateral wall (L1);
- wherein the two lateral walls (L1, L2) are foldable with respect to the base wall (B) so as to be arrangeable on a same plane containing the base wall (B), externally of the two opposite longitudinal sides of the base wall (B), and with the tab (1) being foldable in such a way that the first portion (11) thereof becomes arranged by a flank of the first lateral wall (L1) and on the same plane as the first lateral wall (L1) and that the second portion (12), third portion (13) and fourth portion (14) take on a flat configuration and are arranged on a same common plane above the first lateral wall (L1) and the first portion (11), in such a way that the container (100) can take on the flattened configuration (I);
- and,
- wherein the two lateral walls (L1, L2) are further foldable with respect to the base wall (B) so as to be arrangeable opposite to one another and in such a way as to form an angle with respect to the base wall (B), the tab (1) being foldable with respect to the first lateral wall (L1) in such a way that the second portion (12) is arranged between the two lateral walls (L1, L2) and opposite the first lateral wall (L1), and in such a way that the first portion (11), the third portion (13) and the fourth portion (14) are arranged at an angle both with respect to the first lateral wall (L1) and the second portion (12) so as to identify, between the first portion (11) and the third portion (13), and between the third portion (13) and the fourth portion (14), respective seatings (S1, S2) of dimensions that are suitable for receiving corresponding bottles, such that the container (100) can take on the opened-out configuration (V) and receive a corresponding bottle in a vertical configuration in each of the seatings with the bottom of the bottle resting on the base wall (B).
