Abstract

A multi-side container prepared from a single blank of paperboard includes a base panel foldably connected to a row of inner side walls. The base panel is also foldably connected to a row of outer side walls which encircle the inner side walls to form a double wall construction. A lid panel is foldably connected to the outer side walls and is bonded to the outer side walls. A tear line crosses at least some of the outer side walls separating an upper portion of the outer side walls from a lower portion. The tear line is capable of being broken to form a recloseable lid comprising the lid panel and upper portions of the outer side walls.
