A method of assembling irregular tetrahedral packages having a first orientation and a mirrored second orientation, the packages each having two panels that are isosceles right triangles, and two elongated panels that are right triangles. The method involves providing an L-shaped blank having a rectangular central wall, rectangular right and left walls attached on neighbouring edges of the central wall via weakening lines, arranging one package with a first orientation and one package with a second orientation on each of the right wall, left wall and central wall, wherein all packages are placed such that a panel with isosceles right triangle shape faces the cardboard blank, and where the hypotenuse of the panel is directed towards a central corner, between the right wall and the left wall, and such that the top downward angled edges of all packages also are directed towards the central corner.
Method of assembling a group of irregular tetrahedral packages having a first orientation and a mirrored second orientation, said packages each having two panels that are isosceles right triangles, and two elongated panels that are right triangles, comprising the steps of:
Assembly of two irregular tetrahedral packages having a first orientation and a mirrored second orientation, said packages having two panels that are isosceles right triangles, and two elongated panels that are right triangles, wherein an elongated panel of one package is provided with an adhesive, and a correspondingly shaped panel of the other package is pressed against said panel being provided with adhesive.
Assembly of six irregular tetrahedral packages having a first orientation and a mirrored second orientation, said packages having two panels that are isosceles right triangles, and two elongated panels that are right triangles, wherein three pairs of two mirrored packages are placed inside a low tray, having a bottom wall matching the size of a cubic arrangement of said six packages.
Assembly of six irregular tetrahedral packages having a first orientation and a mirrored second orientation, said packages having two panels that are isosceles right triangles, and two elongated panels that are right triangles, wherein three pairs of mirrored packages are encircled by a looped ribbon, holding the six packages together.
Assembly of three irregular packages having a first orientation and a mirrored second orientation, said packages having two panels that are isosceles right triangles, and two elongated panels that are right triangles, wherein two packages of a first orientation and one package of a second orientation are placed together, forming a triangular prism.
