Abstract
A knock-down, easily erected, multi-partitioned carton formed from a single blank of foldable paperboard is disclosed. The multi-partitioned carton comprises a pair of side panels, a pair of end panels, a plurality of pairs of opposed tongues formed by cutting and scoring the side panels. The opposed tongues are hingedly attached on one end to the side panels and at the other end to each other when folded inward so as to define a plurality of cells or compartments. A pair of bottom flaps hingedly attached to each of the side panels automatically form a bottom as the carton is squared. In one alternative embodiment of the carton a pair of interlocking collar halves formed from cutting and scoring the side panels allows for the defining of a plurality of article receiving apertures therebetween. In yet another embodiment of the carton, a single gang lift element is formed by cutting and scoring one of the side panels so that the gang lift element in combination with tongues further subdivide each cell or compartment.
