Abstract
A paperboard container is provided with a plurality of internal vertically extending triangular-shaped columns and on the top edges of the columns there is a design feature which allows the edges to be relieved thereby forming inclined edges to reduce package tearing or product damage. The inclined edge can be provided either when the container is erected by a machine or later by hand depending upon the selected design.
