Abstract
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.
