Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2009101029A1] A container blank (2), a container and a method of forming the container blank are disclosed wherein the blank (2) is provided with opposite, substantially rectilinear, first and second lateral edges (4,6) substantially parallel to each other, the blank including a row of top closure panels (P12-P20) extending from the first edge (4) to the second edge (6) and bounded by a third edge (8), the top closure panels being separated from each other by lines of weakness for providing fold lines (S22-S28) and extending away from the third edge, and a bottom fourth edge (10) extending between the first and second edges (4,6) and substantially parallel to the third edge (8), the fourth edge (10) being substantially free from any lines of weakness extending away therefrom. In this way, the container made from the blank may have a top and a bottom of respective, different geometric shapes, but formed from a substantially rectangular blank, for example, rectangular tops and circular bottoms.
