Abstract
A container for foodstuff is formed from a blank of card and having triangular end walls connected by rectangular side walls to form a triangular prism shaped container. One side wall of the container is hinged to another wall of the container to provide an opening for insertion/removal of foodstuff and to form a lid for closing the opening. The edges of the lid and edges of the container extending from the hinge have integral tabs with a fold line at the hinge, whereby the tabs fold inwardly beneath the lid as it is closed over the opening to assist in retaining foodstuff in the container.
