A composite packaging system is disclosed including a plurality of inner wedge shaped cartons each having a slanted rear wall thereby conforming to the configuration of a piece of pie. An outer carton is disclosed, having a generally parallelogram configuration in plan, which is adapted to hold an even number of inner wedge shaped cartons. The unique configuration of the outer carton permits the loading of the inner wedge shaped cartons therein in an array such that each panel of the inner wedge shaped cartons is in abutting relationship with either a wall of the outer carton or with a panel of an adjacent wedge shaped carton. By this arrangement, the inner cartons are prevented from shifting within the outer carton thereby preventing damage thereto. The configuration of the outer carton further functions to space the slanted end wall of each wedge shaped carton away from the side wall of the outer carton, thereby providing a cushioned space for maintaining the crust of the pies stored within the wedge shaped cartons in an undamaged condition.

A composite packaging system including a plurality of individual wedge shaped cartons each configured to hold a piece of pie, and an outer parallelogram carton adapted to hold an even number of wedge shaped cartons, said composite packaging system comprising: at least two wedge shaped cartons, each wedge shaped carton being formed of a one piece foldable cardboard blank and having a slanted end wall, said carton thereby conforming to the configuration of, and useful for containing a wedge shaped piece of pie having a slanted crust portion, said wedge shaped carton including a triangular bottom panel having a base edge and two side edges; a triangular top panel disposed in spaced, parallel relationship with said bottom panel and having a base edge and two side edges, with the length of the base edge of said top panel being greater than the length of the base edge of said bottom panel, and with the length of said top panel measured along an imaginary line extending perpendicularly from the associated base edge to the opposed apex thereof being greater than the length of said bottom panel measured along an imaginary line extending perpendicularly from the associated base edge to the opposed apex thereof; a pair of side walls extending between the associated side edges of said top and bottom panels and disposed perpendicular thereto, each said side wall being formed of inner and outer side wall members, with the bottom edge of each said inner side wall member being hingedly connected to the associated side edge of said bottom panel, and with the top edge of each said outer side wall member being hingedly connected to the associated side edge of said top panel, and with each said outer side wall member overlying and being adhesively connected to the associated inner side wall member, and wherein each said outer side wall member further includes a pair of spaced, intermittent cut lines extending along the length thereof and defining a tear strip to permit easy opening of the carton; a trapezoidal end wall having top, bottom and side edges, with said top edge of said end wall and said base edge of said top panel being hingedly connected and of equal length and with said bottom edge of said end wall and said base edge of said bottom panel being hingedly connected and of equal length, and with said side edges of said end wall being respectively connected to the adjacent side edges of said side walls, and with said end wall sloping outwardly away from the interior of said carton, from said bottom edge to said top edge, such that said carton conforms to the shape of said pie piece with said sloping end wall functioning to provide increased protection and support to the slanted crust portion thereof; said packaging system further including a tubular outer carton having a general parallelogram configuration in plan, said outer carton including, top and bottom panels disposed in spaced apart parallel relationsip, each said top and bottom panels being substantially identical and having a parallelogram configuration; and an upstanding tubular side wall including alternately hingedly connected opposed side and end panels, said side wall being hingedly connected around the periphery of said top and bottom panels and extending therebetween, with said hinged connections forming said side wall defining first and second pairs of opposed corner portions, with each corner portion of said first pair being an acute angle, substantially equal to the included angle defined by a base edge and a side edge of the top panel of a wedge shaped carton, and with each corner portion of said second pair being at an obtuse angle substantially equal to the sum of two angles, the first of said two angles being said acute angle and the second of said two angles being the included angle defined by the side edges of a top panel of a wedge shaped carton, and with the length of each said side panel of said outer carton being substantially equal to the sum of the lengths of the base edges of each triangular top panel of the wedge shaped cartons, housed within said outer carton divided by two, with the width of said outer carton, measured along an imaginary line perpendicular to both said opposed side panels, being substantially equal to said length of a top panel of said wedge shaped carton, and with the height of said outer carton being substantially equal to the height of a wedge shaped carton, said wedge shaped cartons being disposed within said outer carton in an array wherein said base edges of said top panels are disposed in abutting relationship with one of said opposed side wall panels, with contiguous adjacent wedge shaped cartons being oriented in opposite directions, such that the side walls of each adjacent contiguous wedge shaped carton are disposed in coplanar abutting relationship, and wherein the wedge shaped cartons, which are located adjacent said end panels of said outer carton, are disposed such that one corner thereof, defined by the juncture of a base edge and side edge of said top panel of said wedge shaped carton, coincides with one said acute corner portion of said first pair, whereby said wedge shaped cartons are securely held and prevented from shifting within said outer carton thereby reducing the likelihood of damage thereto.
