A foldable carton comprising side walls and end walls hingedly connected together along their side edges, a bottom panel hingedly connected to the lower edge of each wall, the bottom panels of two adjacent side and end walls being hingedly connected together and the bottom panels of the other two adjacent side and end walls being hingedly connected together, the bottom panels being folded between the side and end walls when the carton is in its collapsed condition and the bottom panels swinging downwardly to a position perpendicular to the side and end walls when the carton is erected, one of the bottom panels being larger than the others, the larger bottom panel overlying and being supported by all the other bottom panels when the carton is in its erected condition, the larger bottom panel having a hinge line along which it can bend in a direction away from the bottom panel to which it is hinged during movement of the large bottom panel when the carton is folded and unfolded between its collapsed and erect conditions, the hinge line extending at an acute angle to the hinge between the larger bottom panel and its respective carton wall, and the larger bottom panel being in flat unfolded condition when the carton is in its collapsed condition.
