Abstract
An article wrapper for an article, or plurality of articles in at least one row, is formed from an elongated blank having a top panel, a pair of side panels connected to the top panel along fold lines, and a pair of bottom panels with each of the bottom panels connected to the adjacent side panels at two score lines. Compression tabs are positioned between the bottom score lines to allow tightening of the wrapper by squeeze guides. The bottom panels are arranged in overlapping relation and secured to each other by an adhesive, for example, after tightening the wrapper. The uppermost bottom score line adjacent each of the side panels enables a right angle corner to be formed at the bottom of each of the side panels so that each of the side panels presents an uninterrupted surface. The tabs are tucked under the bottom so as to be hidden from view.
