Substantially round tray

A blank for being erected into a tray, the blank comprising:

• a central panel having a periphery;
• a plurality of flaps extending outwardly from the periphery of the central panel, wherein
• the plurality of flaps comprise more than four flaps,
• each flap of the plurality of flaps includes opposite first and second marginal portions extending outwardly from the central panel,
• the flaps comprise first flaps and second flaps that are configured differently from one another,
• the flaps circumferentially alternate between the first flaps and the second flaps so that each adjacent pair of the flaps includes both one of the first flaps and one of the second flaps, and
• in each of the adjacent pairs of flaps, the first marginal portion of the first flap of the adjacent pair of flaps is configured for being in an overlapping relationship with the second marginal portion of the second flap of the adjacent pair of flaps when the blank is erected into the tray;
• and
• an outwardly bulging first convex fold line connecting an outwardly bulging convex inner edge of the first flap of a first of the adjacent pairs of flaps to the periphery of the central panel, the outwardly bulging first convex fold line extending from the first marginal portion of the first flap of the first adjacent pair of flaps to the second marginal portion of the first flap of the first adjacent pair of flaps;
• and
• an outwardly bulging second convex fold line connecting an outwardly bulging convex inner edge of the second flap of the first adjacent pair of flaps to the periphery of the central panel, the outwardly bulging second convex fold line extending from the first marginal portion of the second flap of the first adjacent pair of flaps to the second marginal portion of the second flap of the first adjacent pair of flaps.

A blank for being erected into a carton, the blank comprising:

• a central panel having a periphery;
• a plurality of flaps extending at least partially around the periphery of the central panel, the plurality of flaps extending outwardly from the periphery of the central panel, the plurality of flaps comprising more than four flaps, and each flap of the plurality of flaps comprises opposite first and second outwardly extending edges extending outwardly from the central panel;
• and
• a plurality of fold lines respectively connecting the flaps to the periphery of the central panel, the plurality of fold lines comprising
• an outwardly bulging first convex fold line connecting an outwardly bulging convex inner edge of a first flap of the plurality of flaps to the periphery of the central panel, the outwardly bulging first convex fold line extending substantially from the first outwardly extending edge of the first flap substantially to the second outwardly extending edge of the first flap,
• an outwardly bulging second convex fold line connecting an outwardly bulging convex inner edge of a second flap of the plurality of flaps to the periphery of the central panel, the outwardly bulging second convex fold line extending substantially from the first outwardly extending edge of the second flap substantially to the second outwardly extending edge of the second flap,
• an outwardly bulging third convex fold line connecting an outwardly bulging convex inner edge of a third flap of the plurality of flaps to the periphery of the central panel, the outwardly bulging third convex fold line extending substantially from the first outwardly extending edge of the third flap substantially to the second outwardly extending edge of the third flap, and
• an outwardly bulging fourth convex fold line connecting an outwardly bulging convex inner edge of a fourth flap of the plurality of flaps to the periphery of the central panel, the outwardly bulging fourth convex fold line extending substantially from the first outwardly extending edge of the fourth flap substantially to the second outwardly extending edge of the fourth flap.
