PACKAGING CONTAINER, BLANK AND METHOD OF FORMING A PACKAGING CONTAINER

摘要

A packaging container (10; 100) for transporting and displaying a plurality of individually packaged products (25; 25') is formed from a blank and comprises at least a base (14; 14') and side walls (20, 22; 20', 22'). Tabs (60; 102, 104) are provided along opposing side walls and project into the interior volume for contact with products (25; 25') to hold them in an upright or display position. Each tab (60; 102, 104) comprises a portion of the side wall which is bent inwardly out of the plane of the side wall about a fold line (62; 62') leaving an aperture in the side wall. Prior to bending, each tab is surrounded about its free edge(s) by a cut-out (63, Fig. 4) such that the surface area of the tab is less than the surface area of the aperture.
