Abstract

A pack or pack blank erected by folding from opposed sides of a four sided sleeve a first pair of end portions of less width than the finished overall width of the pack, then folding from the other two sides of the sleeve a second pair of end portions, double scored to form inner and distal sections, the distal sections of the second pair being located by the edges of the already folded first pair so that the double scoring gives rise to chamfered corners. <IMAGE>
