Method of making a knocked-down flat preform for a shipping and display container

摘要

Unitary blank includes a shroud blank and a tray blank connected by webs therebetween. The unitary blank is folded along a first line of demarcation so that the web overlaps the shroud blank, then along a parallel second line of demarcation so that the tray overlaps the web and the shroud. End portions are then folded toward a center line running perpendicular to the lines of demarcation to form a unitary preform for a two part shipping and display container. According to one embodiment the tray blank is provided with handles and the unitary blank is folded so that the tray blank is outside the shroud blank.
