Abstract

See full text

A package (10) is disclosed including stacked, lower and upper trays (12, 14) each including end walls (22, 122) extending on opposite sides of a base panel (16, 116). The handgrips (26) of the end walls (22) of the lower tray (12) are aligned with the handgrips (126) of the end walls (122) of the upper tray (14) when it is stacked on the lower tray (12). The openings (38) in the ends of a shrunk film wrapper (36) are at least partially coincident with the upper peripheries of the handgrips (26, 126) for providing extra strength. Side walls (18, 118) are integrally connected to the base panels (16, 116) about fold lines (20, 120) and are secured to the end walls (22, 122) by tabs (28, 34, 128, 134). The trays (12, 14) are formed of paperboard and/or corrugated from one or more blanks. In preferred forms of the present invention, the upper edges (27, 127) of the end walls (22, 122) of the lower and upper trays (12, 14) are integrally connected about fold lines, with the end walls (22) of the lower tray (12) including tear strips (40) allowing the lower and upper trays (12, 14) to be separated for distribution.
