Abstract

A blank for forming a prism shaped box, the blank having nine panels coupled to each other longitudinally. A prism shaped box formed from the blank. A method of forming the prism shaped box by the steps of a) providing the blank, b) lifting and curving the first three panels inwards, towards the interior surfaces of the sixth, seventh and eighth panels, until the outer edge of the first panel touches the sixth fold line between the sixth and seventh panels, c) curving and folding the seventh, eighth and ninth panels in an opposite direction to overlap the first three panels, such that the exterior surfaces of the first three panels align with the interior surfaces of the seventh, eighth and ninth panels, respectively, d) attaching the ninth panel to the first panel, e) folding the bottom flaps inward, and f) folding the top flaps inward.
