Abstract:
A tissue-lined box is formed from a carton blank having a generally rectangular bottom panel with a width W, the carton blank having integral side walls and end walls connected with the bottom panel at creased fold lines. Four corner panels, one corner panel positioned at each respective corner of the generally rectangular bottom panel as an integral extension of one of the side wall and the end wall and connected to the other of the side wall and end wall to form the box. Fold lines adapt the box for folding to a flat condition and to an erected open position. A tissue insert has at least one layer of tissue paper and is folded to have at least one folded edge, the width T of the tissue insert taken from the folded edge to the opposite edge being greater to the width W of the bottom panel. The tissue insert is placed on the bottom panel with the tissue insert substantially covering the bottom panel and having at least one marginal edge extending beyond the bottom panel and positioned on the adjacent side wall, the marginal portion of the tissue adjacent the side wall being folded at the crease line between the bottom panel and the side wall when the box is folded to its flat condition.
