69 cooperating to form a second support structure 80 when forming the support structure 78 the end flaps 66 and 71 are initially folded inwardly to a plane substantially perpendicular to their respective side panels 4 and 16 once in this condition the end flap 65 is folded substantially perpendicular to the side panel 2 and adhesively secured to the contacting surface of the end flaps 66 and 71 similarly the support structure 80 is formed by initially folding the end flaps 67 and 69 inwardly to a position substantially perpendicular their respective sidewalls 8 and 12 and overfolding the end flap 68 and adhering end flap 68 thereto the other end of the carton c is formed in a manner similar to this end once the contents are positioned within the container the remaining end flap 70 is folded inwardly to a position substantially perpendicular to the side panel or bottom panel 14 and subsequently the octagonal end panel 42 is overfolded substantially perpendicular to the side panel or top panel 6 and adhesively secured to the support structures 78 and 80 as well as an outer surface of the end flap 70 by interconnecting the end flaps in a manner illustrated in fig6 the resultant container more efficiently resists any compressive forces in the vertical direction referring now to fig7 and 9 there is shown carton blanks b 4 b 5 and b 6 for forming the carton c illustrated in fig1 due to the similarities of the several.
