Abstract
A paperboard carton is formed by interconnecting a main body piece, folded to establish at least a bottom wall and first and second spaced side panels, with separately formed third and fourth side panels. To strengthen the carton and enable similarly configured cartons to be effectively, vertically stacked, a caliper or basis weight of each of the third and fourth side panels is made greater than the main body piece and/or an orientation of the fibers between the pieces is varied as compared to a conventional carton.
