Abstract
An improved container, particularly useful for containing plants, seeds, or seedlings in soil for shipment, is formed of a blank which when unassembled is in a generally planar configuration. A plurality of hinge lines formed in the blank divide the blank into a minimum of three parts and enable the member to be folded into a configuration having a generally U-shaped cross-section. The hinge lines consist of lines of weakness interposed with cut-out tabs which break away from the center section of the blank when it is folded to form feet for the container. A plurality of indentations formed in the blank meet when the blank is folded to divide the container into a plurality of discreet compartments. Opposite side edges of the blank can be continued and folded from hinge lines thereat to form lids for the compartments.
