摘要

An easily openable package (10) defining an interior product storage region, includes first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh and eighth side panels (30-44) forming an eight-sided body (14). Each side panel is separate from adjacent side panels by respective crease lines (76, 90). The side panels define an octagonal upper periphery. A bottom wall (16) is formed from a plurality of panels (46-52) separated from the side panels by a horizontal crease line (94). The bottom wall has a four-sided foot print, defining four bottom wall corners (54-60). An eight-sided polymeric lid (12) is affixed to the package (10) at the upper periphery. The lid (12) has an openable portion (18) such that the interior product storage region is accessed by opening the openable portion of the lid. A method for forming the package is also disclosed.
