Problems solved by technology

This will assist the user in carrying the container, but is undesirable when, for example, more than one container is used and the user wishes to put them in a carrier bag.
Alternatively, these containers have flat tops with no handles, which are difficult to carry around without placing the containers into carrier bags.
Furthermore, conventional containers for carrying foodstuffs are not leak-proof.
Thus, although they may be useful for carrying dry foodstuffs such as pastry, they are not suitable for carrying foodstuff which have liquid, such as food with gravy and, particularly, soups.

Embodiment Construction

[0017] With reference to FIG. 3, a blank 1 in accordance with the preferred embodiment of the present invention comprises a base panel 2, side panels 3a-b & 6a-b, and foldable flaps (corner panels) 5a-d. In addition, the lid is made from the lid panels 7a-b, handle panels 8a-b and interlocking panels 9a-b.

[0018] The base panel 2 in this embodiment is rectangular. Extending outwards along the length of the base panel 2 are side panels 6a-b and extending outwards along the width of the base panel 2 are further side panels 3a-b, one extending from each edge of the base panel 2. The adjacent side panels 3b-6b, 6b-3a, 3a-6a and 6a-3b, are further adjoined to each other by foldable flaps 5b, 5c, 5,d and 5a respectively. Each foldable flap has a crease line 16a-d to facilitate the folding of the foldable flaps 5a-d.

[0019] The lid panels 7a-b preferably extend from the top edges of two of the side panels 6a-b. Further, handle panels 8a-b extend from the lid panels 7a-b. On each handle panel...

Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a container, which is particularly suitable for storing foodstuffs, including liquid foodstuffs. It is versatile in that it can be assembled so that it has a handle for carrying the container. It is also possible to assemble the container so that the handle of the container is tucked away, so that it is suitable for stacking.BACKGROUND TO THE INVENTION[0002] Conventional containers for merchandise typically consist of straight sided boxes with lids which simply fit over the top of the box. Such boxes must often be secured in a closed condition with additional means such as an elastic band or tape in order to prevent the lid simply slipping off again.[0003] Other conventional containers, even if they do not use separate lids, are closed by tabs which tuck into slots or interlock with other tabs. These containers sometimes have handles when constructed. This will assist the user in carrying the container, but is undesirable when, for example, mo...
