A
folding carton is presented, consisting of a flat
cardboard blank in its unfolded state with a plurality of fold lines, from which a three-dimensional cuboid
cardboard format with a base area, two longitudinal sides and two transverse sides can be folded. The
cardboard blank (1) has a rectangular closed base plan with two spaced-apart parallel fold lines (7, 8) for folding the longitudinal sides (3, 4) from the horizontal into the vertical, and two fold lines (9, 10) arranged at right angles to these fold lines (7, 8) and intersecting them, for folding the transverse sides (5, 6) from the horizontal into the vertical, which define the edges of the central base area (2). The four corner areas (11, 12, 13, 14) of the base plan of the cardboard blank, bounded by the fold lines (7, 8, 9, 10), (1) each one by intersection lines (11A, 11B, 12A, 12B, 13A, 13B, 14A,14B) a reinforcing flap (15, 16, 17, 18) separate from the rest of the cardboard blank (1), which is connected to the transverse wall side (5, 6) by a fold line (20, 21, 22, 23) on its side adjacent to the outer edge (19) of the cardboard blank (1), facing a transverse wall side (5, 6), so that the respective reinforcing flap (15, 16, 17, 18) forms an additional inner third wall layer reinforcing the associated corner area of the
folding carton when the
folding carton is unfolded.
