Abstract
A folded paperboard carton, which, after having been used for its original purpose such as packaging a foodstuff, may be separated into several components and the components then assembled to form a holder or caddy for pencils, crayons and the like. The blank from which the carton is formed is provided with suitable cut and perforated lines such that separation of the components of the caddy may be readily effected and the components of the caddy may be assembled without requiring any glue or separate fastener element.
