Abstract

An improved container construction, particularly useful for arranging and securing a plurality of separable items therein. The unassembled container has a generally planar configuration and contains a bottom wall defining a floor upon which the items to be packaged are placed. The container includes side walls which are connected to adjacent floor edges by hinge lines. Shoulder members are formed on the floor and surfaces of the side walls adjacent each hinge line, and serve to define closure limits for the side walls when the container is assembled.
