A packaging container/case is formed of two cooperating cartons, the cartons formed of similar or identical blanks. Each carton includes a first major panel and an opposite second major panel, with a first major panel extension extending from the first major panel. The two cartons are joined by securing each first major panel extension to the second major panel of the other carton, providing unbroken major panels for the assembled case. The minor panels/ends are also unbroken. Each extended first major panel and extension includes an unbroken upper closure flap extending the length of the panel and extension, which with the minor panel closure flaps extending from the top of the opposed ends of each carton, provides conventional upper closure for the assembled case which can be sealed using standard packaging machinery. The bottom closure flaps are conventional each carton of the case, although the upper closure may be applied to the lower closure flaps if so desired. The resulting coplanar flap surfaces, with the unbroken sides of the assembled case, provide stacking and compact storage of such cases as required. Tear strips and/or score lines may be formed vertically down the center of the extended major panels and panel extensions, to provide for separation of the two cartons forming the case without need for tools. Preferably, the two cartons are equal in size and rectangular. However, the present construction may also be applied to two mating cartons of unequal size and/or congruent trapezoidal shape.

A separable, modular container for general purpose use, comprising: a case formed of a first carton and a second carton joined together, with said first carton and said second carton each formed from a single sheet of planar material; said first carton and said second carton each having a first and a second major panel, a first and a second minor panel, and an attachment strip, with said first major panel of said first carton having a panel extension equal in length to the length of said second major panel of said second carton, and said first major panel of said second carton having a panel extension equal in length to the length of said second major panel of said first carton; each said first major panel and panel extension having an upper major flap extending therefrom, with each said upper major flap being equal in length to a combined span of said each said first major panel and panel extension; each said first major panel further having a lower major flap extending therefrom, with each said lower major flap having a length equal to the span of said each said first major panel; each said second major panel and second minor panel respectively having a second lower major and second lower minor flap extending therefrom, with each said lower flap of each said carton providing lower closure means for said each said carton, and each said first minor panel having an upper and a lower minor flap extending therefrom; said each said first major panel and first minor panel, and each said second major panel and second minor panel, of said first carton and said second carton each being formed into a closed structure with said attachment strip of said first carton and said second carton each being secured respectively to said first major panel and said first major panel extension of said first carton and said second carton, along a juncture thereof; said first carton and said second carton being secured together by means of said first major panel extension of said first carton attaching to said second major panel of said second carton, and said first major panel extension of said second carton attaching to said second major panel of said first carton, with each said second minor side panel of said first carton and said second carton being disposed immediately adjacent one another and unsecured to one another; said case having a first and a second major side and a first and a second minor side, with each said side being substantially flat and devoid of protrusions thereon, whereby; said case is closeable using standard packaging machinery, by means of four upper flaps comprising said upper major flap and said upper minor flap respectively of said first carton and said second carton, and further by said lower closure means respectively of each said first carton and said second carton, with said upper major and lower major flaps respectively being coplanar when closed, and said case is efficiently storable and stackable by means of each said substantially flat side of said case and closed coplanar said upper and said lower flaps.
