Package with extended top panel and a blank therefor

A package comprising:

• an extended top panel;
• a front wall engaging the extended top panel at a first edge, the front wall having a predetermined length;
• a rear wall, opposite the front wall, the rear wall having a predetermined length;
• and
• first and second parallel side walls, each of the side walls engaging the front wall at front edges and the rear wall at rear edges,
• the top panel being sealed to one of the rear wall and a lesser, opposing top panel at a sealing region, and wherein a vertical plane through the sealing region is spaced from a central vertical plane through the package,
• wherein a second top panel meets the extended top panel at a top fin of the package that is coextensive with the sealing region, the second top panel having a surface area lesser than a surface area of the extended top panel.

A blank for a package with an extended top panel, the blank comprising:

• a rear wall panel, a first side wall panel, a front wall panel and a second side wall panel, the rear wall panel having a length greater than the length of the front wall panel, a plurality of vertical score lines partitioning each of the panels from adjacent of the panels;
• an extended top panel adjacent the front wall panel, the extended top panel partitioned from the front wall panel by a first horizontal score line;
• and
• a lesser top panel adjacent the rear wall panel the lesser top panel being partitioned therefrom by a horizontal score line, the lesser top panel of the rear wall panel having a surface area less than a surface area of the extended top panel.

A blank for a package with an extended top panel, the blank comprising:

• a rear wall panel, a first side wall panel, a front wall panel and a second side wall panel, the rear wall panel having a length greater than the length of the front wall panel, a plurality of vertical score lines partitioning each of the panels from adjacent of the panels;
• an extended top panel adjacent the front wall panel, the extended top panel partitioned from the front wall panel by a first horizontal score line;
• a plurality of slanted top panels;
• and
• a central top fin panel partitioned from the extended top panel by a top horizontal score line, the central top fin panel juxtaposed by a first and second horizontal top fin panels on each side, the first horizontal top fin panel having a first slanted top fin panel adjacent thereto and the second horizontal top fin panel having a second slanted top fin panel adjacent thereto.

A package comprising:

• an extended top panel;
• a front wall engaging the extended top panel at a first edge, the front wall having a predetermined length;
• a lesser top panel;
• a rear wall, opposite the front wall, the rear wall engaging the lesser top panel at a second edge, the rear wall having a predetermined length greater than the predetermined length of the front wall;
• and
• first and second parallel side walls, each of the side walls engaging the front wall at front edges and the rear wall at rear edges,
• wherein the extended top panel and the lesser top panel are sealed to one another at a sealing region and wherein the sealing region defines a top fin coextensive with the sealing region.
