Abstract
The top seal of a gable top container prepared from sheet material is improved by leaving tufts of sheet material attached at staggered intervals along the upper edges of the inner rib panels. When the top of the container is sealed, the gap normally found in the area above the inner rib panels and the sealing flaps is closed when the tufts become aligned.
