Abstract

A container formed from a length of a laminated elongate board having a slot formed along a sufficient length of the board for receiving the edges of a bottom panel. A series of widthwise V-groove cuts are made on the elongate board to form a plurality of folding sections that are continuously joined by the laminate. The slot in the board receives the edges of the bottom panel when the folding sections are folded at the V-grooves to enclose the bottom panel.
