Abstract
A container for carrying produce having dove tail locks is created from a container blank having nonsymmetrical, offset dove tail locks on the edges of the blank. When the blank is on a larger paperboard substrate having multiple blanks, the dove tail locks of a blank border the dove tail locks of an adjacent blank in a configuration that eliminates pinch points. The elimination of pinch points is achieved by having dove tail locks wherein the sides of the dove tail lock diverge from each other at different angles and for different horizontal vectors.
