A cardboard container for receiving bottles (8) in a horizontal configuration, comprising:
- a base wall (10) and two lateral walls (11, 12) which are in a single body with the base wall (10) at two longitudinal sides thereof and which are foldable with respect to the base wall (10) about the longitudinal sides so as to be arrangeable on a same plane of the base wall (10), flanked to and external thereof, so as to enable the container (100) to assume a flattened configuration (I), and so as to be arrangeable at an angle with respect to the base wall (10), and opposite one another such as to be able to enable the container (100) to take on an opened-out configuration (V),
- at least a pair of tabs (L1, L2), each tab (L1, L2) being of such a shape as to exhibit a central portion (30) which is connected to the base wall (10), so as to be foldable with respect thereto at a fold line which is arranged transversally to the base wall (10),
- a first lateral portion (31), in a single body with the central portion (30) at a first lateral edge thereof and which exhibits such a shape and which is connected to the first lateral wall (11) in such a way as to be foldable with respect both to the central portion (30) and to the first lateral wall (11),
- a second lateral portion (32), in a single body with the central portion (30) at a second lateral edge, opposite the first lateral edge, and which exhibits such a shape and which is connected to the second lateral wall (12) so as to be foldable with respect both to the central portion (30) and to the second lateral wall (12),
- wherein each tab (L1, L2) of the pair of tabs (L1,12), when the two lateral walls (11, 12) are folded with respect to the base wall (10) so as to be arranged on the same plane of the base wall (10) to enable the container (100) to assume the flattened configuration (I), is foldable so as to assume a flat configuration with the central portion (30) thereof, the first lateral portion (31) thereof and the second lateral portion (32) thereof which are arranged on a same plane above the base wall (10) and the two lateral walls (11, 12), and
- wherein each tab (L1, L2) of the pair of tabs (L1, L2), when the two lateral walls (11, 12) are folded with respect to the base wall (10) so as to be arranged at an angle with respect thereto and opposite one another so as to enable the container (100) to assume the opened-out configuration (V), is further foldable such that the central portion (30) thereof is arranged with an angled configuration and vertically with respect to the base wall (10) and the first lateral portion (31) thereof and the second lateral portion (32) thereof are arranged at an angle with respect to the central portion (30), opposite one another and respectively flanked to the two lateral walls (11, 12), and
- wherein the central portions (30) of the pair of tabs (L1, L2) are connected to the base wall (10) so that once folded at an angle with respect to the base wall (10), with the container (100) in the opened-out configuration (V), the central portions (30) are distanced from one another at a distance (D) corresponding to transversal dimensions of a bottle (8) and so as to define there-between a housing (A) for receiving the bottle (8) in a horizontal configuration.
