A compartmented Bliss-style container comprising, in combination: a wrapper formed from foldable sheet material and including a bottom wall, a first pair of sidewalls connected to opposite edges of the bottom wall and positioned perpendicularly to the bottom wall, a pair of top closure flaps foldably attached to the upper free edges of said first pair of sidewalls, and attachment tabs foldably connected to the opposite free edges of the bottom wall, the first pair of sidewalls and the top closure flaps, and an insert formed from foldable sheet material and positioned within said wrapper, said insert including a pair of partition panels foldably attached to each other and folded so as to be in face-to-face engagement to form a partition member, and wall-forming panels hingedly attached to the opposite ends of each of said partition panels and positioned perpendicularly to said partition panels to form a second pair of sidewalls for said container, said attachment tabs on said bottom wall, said first pair of sidewalls, and said top closure flaps being folded into engagement with said second pair of sidewalls, and one of said pair of top closure flaps being substantially larger than the other of said top closure flaps so as to overlie at least a portion of each wall-forming panel of said second pair of sidewalls.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
192 words
A compartmented Bliss-style container as set forth in claim 1, wherein the attachment tabs connected to the opposite free edges of said bottom wall are of sufficiently less width than said bottom wall so as to be spaced inwardly from the opposite edges of the bottom wall a distance substantially equal to the width of the attachment tabs connected to opposite free edges of said first pair of sidewalls and the attachment tabs connected to the opposite free edges of the top closure flaps are of sufficiently less width than said top closure flaps, so as to be spaced inwardly from the foldably attached edges of said top closure flaps a distance substantially equal to the width of the attachment tabs connected to the opposite free edges of said first pair of sidewalls, and said attachment tabs connected to the opposite free edges of said first pair of sidewalls extending the full width of said first pair of sidewalls so as to be located in the spaces created at the ends of the other attached tabs when all of said attachment tabs are folded into engagement with said second pair of sidewalls.
