Abstract (en)

A blank for assembly into a container, the blank comprising a base panel (2), a first wall panel (10) and a second wall panel (18); the first wall panel having a corner flap (9) having a body portion (62) and end portion (64), the end portion having a smaller width than the body portion, the body portion being separated from the end portion by a shoulder (82,84); the second wall panel having a notch in a side edge adjacent the base panel (2), whereby the first wall panel may be folded substantially perpendicularly to the base panel and the corner flap (9,19) may be folded over such that the shoulder (82,84) is retained in the notch to hold the corner flap in place. Preferably, the shoulder is adapted to exert a force on an edge of the notch distal from the base panel (2). A container formed from a blank is also disclosed. A process for assembling a container is disclosed comprising the steps of providing a blank; folding the corner flap over to retain the shoulder in the notch; and folding the second wall panel over the corner flap.
