(54) A blank


(57) The invention relates to a blank 1 which can be formed into a flat, folded, assembled state, in the embodiment secured in that state by securing means such as glue, and which can subsequently be erected to provide a pack for products and which is adapted for transit and display of products. The blank comprises a first section 2 and a second section 3, which sections 2 and 3 are connected to one another by connection elements 4 integral therewith, so that said elements 4 are externally arranged with respect to a pack erected from the blank 1. The blank 1 is an integral flat blank made from fluted packaging material such as board or corrugated fibreboard of generally rectangular form initially, so that the blank formed therefrom is generally elongate, its longitudinal extent being substantially transverse or orthogonal to the direction D of the flutes.
