A carton and blank for forming a carton are provided for a single serving of dessert pie. The carton formed from the blank is substantially wedge shaped and includes top and bottom panels disposed in parallel relationship. The top and bottom panels define similar isosceles triangles, but the top panel is larger than the bottom panel thereby reflecting the actual configuration of the pie packaged therein. The subject carton formed from the blank includes a plurality of rear opening flaps providing access to the container from the rear. Additionally, the carton, has a double side wall and a double slanted rear wall to protect the fragile slice of pie.

A carton and a blank for forming same are provided for a single serving of dessert pie. The carton formed from the blank is substantially wedge shaped and includes top and bottom panels disposed in parallel relationship. The top and bottom panels each are of isosceles triangular configuration. The top panel is of larger dimensions than the bottom panel thereby reflecting the actual configuration of the pie packaged in the carton erected from the blank. The subject carton erected from the blank includes a plurality of rear opening flaps providing access to the container from the rear portion thereof.

Rear loading single serving pie container and blank for forming same

A composite packaging system is disclosed including a plurality of inner wedge shaped cartons each having a slanted rear wall thereby conforming to the configuration of a piece of pie. An outer carton is disclosed, having a generally parallelogram configuration in plan, which is adapted to hold an even number of inner wedge shaped cartons. The unique configuration of the outer carton permits the loading of the inner wedge shaped cartons therein in an array such that each panel of the inner wedge shaped cartons is in abutting relationship with either a wall of the outer carton or with a panel of an adjacent wedge shaped carton. By this arrangement, the inner cartons are prevented from shifting within the outer carton thereby preventing damage thereto. The configuration of the outer carton further functions to space the slanted end wall of each wedge shaped carton away from the side wall of the outer carton, thereby providing a cushioned space for maintaining the crust of the pies stored within the wedge shaped cartons in an undamaged condition.

Composite packaging system including an outer parallelogram container

Disclosed is a carton especially adapted to package single servings of pie. The carton has a triangular shape due to triangular top and bottom panels. A trapezoidal end wall connects the top and bottom panels at the bases of the respective triangles and slants outwardly from bottom to top. The bottom panel has inner side wall panels attached to it. The inner side wall panels are secured in the vertical upright position by means of corner flaps which are preferably secured to the outer surfaces of the inner side wall panels. The top panel can contain an opening which is preferably covered by a strip of film. The fragile pie crust is better protected by the slanted end wall, and further by the overlapping corner flaps.
