Abstract
A flat, folded carton having a snap-up bottom for erection into a generally conical hollow container includes a bottom panel of generally octagonal configuration, and two upstanding side wall panels interconnected by end walls. One side panel is of isosceles trapezoidal shape, while the other side panel is of isosceles triangular shape. The end walls are hingedly connected to the isosceles triangular wall panel, and bonded by a glue strip to the isosceles trapezoidal panel. The resulting container configuration is generally conical, with the planes of the side wall panels extending upwardly and divergently from the bottom panel. Hence, the carton provides an enlarged bell mouth opening for the generally conical hollow container, thereby facilitating the scooping and loading of products into the container.
