Abstract
Abstract A carton for packaging an article is formed from a single piece blank of paperboard and includes a bottom wall, two end flaps each having two side flaps, two center side flaps, two end walls and two side walls. The normally oblique side and end walls and the end side flaps initially position the article to be packaged centrally of the bottom wall and combine with the bottom wall to form an air cell about the four sides of the article to protect it during shipment.
