Abstract
Corrugated paper blanks for cooperatively forming a six wall box, and a box formed from the paper blanks are disclosed. The box formed from a body blank 10 and two side blanks 100 has two side walls, two end walls 32 and 36, a bottom wall 34, a top wall cooperatively formed by two top panels 30 and 38, a door 52 in one of the end walls 36, and a plurality of horizontally spaced perforations 74 between a distal end of the door 52 and the bottom wall 34 to minimize tears along the paperboard corrugations upon compression of the box. The box also has positioning slots 76 on one or both of its end walls 32 and 36 at opposite sides of the box to aid in moving the box while on a shelf or otherwise.
