(54)	Sideseam joint for a carton

(57) According to the practice of this invention, the noted unwanted adhesion between the second panel (14) and the first panel (12) attendant the formation of the sideseam joint is eliminated by providing the second panel with a cutout. That portion which is cut out corresponds in form to the triangular cutout or truncated portion at the tapered end (28) of the sideseam forming fifth panel (20). In this way, when compression of the first panel against the sideseam panel and the first panel occurs, there is no hot and sticky exposed area of the first panel which will adhere to the second panel.
