Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0293527A1] A flexible, semi-rigid plastic sheet is folded at opposed sides to form double layer folds (36,38) perpendicular to the plane of a central portion (34) of sheet material defining end cap side walls joined by a crease (37) and forming slot (40) for seating edges of rectangular tube opposed side walls. Opposed ends of the end cap central portion bear tabs 50 which project within perforations (28,30) formed within the rectangular tube end walls, completing a rigid end cap closure at the open end of the tube bearing the same.
