Abstract
A modular, multi-compartment container includes four pre-stamped blanks of material, such as paperboard that may be folded into a preferred orientation and placed into a cooperative arrangement. The blanks of material form a contiguous ring of outwardly-facing compartments and a selectively covered internal chamber. Vertically-aligned pairs of apertures accommodate included hollow tubes. The tubes increase the structural integrity of the container and may be used for storage and display purposes as well. A corrugated base is also included.
