Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide cartons that they are designed and shaped to hold product, such as ice cream, that are made from a single, one-piece blank. The one-piece blank can be folded by the food product manufacturer on-site to create a container or carton, without having to be shipped in a pre-glued configuration. The cartons generally do not require polyethylene in order to maintain their shape. Some embodiments are designed so as to have a slight outward taper of the left and right side walls and the back wall, which provides a pleasing shape to consumers, potentially increasing marketing opportunities and sales.
