A unitary, die cut carton blank is provided which is foldable to present a box-type ice cream carton fillable with conventional filling equipment and which is especially configured for permitting fabrication of a plurality of blanks from master sheets with significant material savings and full use of printing equipment. The blanks hereof include generally rectangular top, rear, bottom and front panel sections each having oppositely extending side marginal closure flaps, with the front panel closure flaps and male locking flaps being especially configured to conform with corresponding areas of identical blanks placed in juxtaposed and catercorner relationship to the first blank in order to permit layout and cutting of a maximum number of blanks per unit area of master sheet material to thereby lessen the amount of sheet material required in the production of the blanks. In preferred forms the outermost relieved end margins of the front closure flaps are generally L-shaped in configuration, but in other instances these relieved areas may present scalloped or obliquely cut outer margins. The locking lobes of the male locking flaps are also preferably relieved for permitting full abutting contact between side-by-side blanks.
