Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0879766A1] The folding carton has a number of contour folding lines (26) parallel to the edge fold lines (24) and between them and one and/or both side wall sections (18). They have an outwards convex curvature. The base (30) has a base tab (30.1) shaped at the inner leading wall section (16), and a second tab (30.2) shaped at the rear wall section (14). The first tab (30.1) has a folding line (34) to give inner (32.1) and outer (32.3) tab sections for the inner section to be folded inwards and the outer section to be folded outwards by 360 degrees and the outer tab section (32.2) is bonded to the second base tab (30.2). Or, vice versa, the second tab (30.2) has a fold for bonding with the first tab (30.1).
