The blank provides a continuous bottom wall, integral side walls extending upwardly from each side edge of the bottom wall integral top walls extending inwardly from the upper edge of each side wall, medial walls extending downwardly from the inner longitudinal edge of each top wall, and terminal flaps at the side edges of the blank which are adhesively secured to the bottom wall. Each of the top walls has portions thereof die cut and scored adjacent to the ends thereof and bent downwardly to form end walls for the two compartments.
