Abstract
A rectangular paperboard package is fabricated from a single precut and prescored blank of paperboard material. The package includes a top panel having first and second side panels having upper edges connected to opposite parallel edges of the top panel. The first and second side panels are each provided with front extension portions which cooperate to define a front panel and are sealingly connected to define a vertically extending front fin seal. The side panels are further provided with rear extension portions which cooperate to define a rear panel and are sealingly connected to define a vertically extending rear fin seal. The top panel includes front and rear extension portions which cooperate with upper extension portions of the front and rear panels to define front and rear top fin seals. The bottom panel of the package is formed by cooperating lower extension portions of the first and second side panels which define an intermediate bottom fin seal. The bottom panel includes front and rear extension portions which cooperate with lower extension portions of the front and rear panels to define front and rear bottom fin seals. The various extension portions are designed to effectively protect each associated fin seal, to provide smooth planar surfaces for printing purposes, and to increase the overall rigidity of the package. Also, the preferred embodiment of the package is provided with a unique tear away opening feature. The package can be utilized to package a wide variety of products including liquid drinks, frozen concentrated drinks, motor oil, granular material, and containers which have previously been filled with a product.
