Abstract
A cupcake container that folds from a flattened orientation to an erect orientation. The container is formed from a single cardboard box blank including an integrated collar, which is raised over a bottom panel by two legs. The integrated collar has at least one circular opening into which a cupcake base is fitted. The front and top panels form an aperture closed by a polymer film to allow viewing of the contents of the container.

A cupcake container, comprising:
- a structure formed from a cardboard box blank having a plurality of scored fold lines and having adhered portions arranged so that the structure is movable between a flattened orientation and an erect orientation with folds occurring at each of the scored fold lines in the erect orientation, the structure being self-standing in the erect orientation in an upright position, wherein:
- the cardboard box blank defines panels connected to each other in succession by associated ones of the plurality of scored fold lines, the panels including in succession a front, a bottom, a mediate spacer leg, a integrated collar, and a distal spacer leg, the distal leg being friction fit against the front in the erect orientation, the distal leg having a distal edge that is against the bottom as the distal leg is friction fit against the front.
A cupcake container, comprising:
- a structure formed from a cardboard box blank having a plurality of scored fold lines and having adhered portions arranged so that the structure is movable between a flattened orientation and an erect orientation with folds occurring at each of the scored fold lines in the erect orientation, the structure being self-standing in the erect orientation in an upright position, wherein:
- the cardboard box blank defines a first set of panels connected to each other in succession by associated ones of the plurality of scored fold lines, the cardboard box blank also defining a second set of panels connected to each other in succession by further ones of the plurality of scored fold lines,
- the first set of panels having in succession a tuck tab, a top, a front, a bottom, a mediate spacer leg, a integrated collar, and a distal spacer leg,
- the second set having in succession a glue flap, a rear, a right sidewall, the front and a left sidewall, each of the first and second sets having the front in common with each other,
- the rear being connected to a support panel by one of the plurality of scored fold lines,
- the left and right sidewalls being connected to associated corner flaps by associated ones of the plurality of scored fold lines, each of the corner flaps being connected to glue tabs by additional scored fold lines,
- the adhered portions include portions of the glue flap and one of the side walls that are adhered to each other and including portions of both of the glue tabs that are adhered to the support panel and to the bottom respectively so that an underside of the structure in the erect orientation and the upright position includes portions of surfaces of both of the glue tabs, both of the corner flaps, the support panel and the bottom, the additional scored fold lines being positioned to bend from a substantially unbent position with the structure in an erect orientation to a substantially bent position with the structure in the flattened orientation,
- the front and the top define a common aperture so that there are respective ones of the scored fold lines separating the front and the top from each other on either side of the common aperture,
- the integrated collar having an opening in communication with two stress relief recesses, the two stress relief recesses extending outwardly from the opening from locations of the opening that are substantially diametrically opposite each other;
- and
- a transparent polymer film adhered to the front and the top and arranged to extend across an entirety of the aperture.
