A blank configured to form a package is provided. The blank may include a bottom panel, a top panel, and an overlapping panel having an edge region and an adjoining region positioned between the edge region and the top panel. The adjoining region of the overlapping panel overlaps and attaches to the bottom panel to form a compartment when formed into a package. The compartment may be employed to store a consumable product, such as cartridges for an aerosol delivery device. A related method for forming the blank into the package is also provided.

1. A blank configured to form a package, the blank comprising: a bottom panel;a top panel coupled to the bottom panel; andan overlapping panel coupled to the top panel, the overlapping panel comprising: an edge region that is configured to remain unattached to the bottom panel when forming the package; andan adjoining region, the adjoining region positioned between the edge region and the top panel,wherein the overlapping panel is configured to overlap with the bottom panel such that both of the adjoining region and the edge region are overlaying the bottom panel and attach to the bottom panel at the adjoining region when forming the package. 2. The blank of claim 1, further comprising a first connecting panel positioned between the bottom panel and the top panel, and a second connecting panel positioned between the top panel and the overlapping panel. 3. The blank of claim 1, further comprising: a first plurality of end panels coupled to the bottom panel; anda second plurality of end panels coupled to the top panel, wherein the first plurality of end panels are configured to overlap with the second plurality of end panels when forming the package. 4. The blank of claim 3, wherein the second plurality of end panels are longer in a longitudinal direction than the first plurality of end panels. 5. A package, comprising: a bottom panel;a top panel coupled to the bottom panel;an overlapping panel coupled to the top panel;a first connecting panel positioned between the bottom panel and the top panel; anda second connecting panel positioned between the top panel and the overlapping panel,wherein the overlapping panel further comprising:an edge region; andan adjoining region, the adjoining region positioned between the edge region and the top panel,wherein the overlapping panel is overlapping at least a portion of the bottom panel to form a compartment such that both of the adjoining region and the edge region are overlaying the bottom panel, the adjoining region is attached to the bottom panel, and the edge region is unattached to the bottom panel. 6. The package of claim 5, wherein the compartment provides a substantially uniform rectangular cross section along a lateral direction. 7. The package of claim 5, wherein the bottom panel is not completely overlapped by the overlapping panel. 8. The package of claim 7, wherein approximately half of the bottom panel is overlapped by the overlapping panel. 9. The package of claim 5, further comprising: a first plurality of end panels coupled to the bottom panel; anda second plurality of end panels coupled to the top panel, wherein the first plurality of end panels overlap with the second plurality of end panels. 10. The package of claim 9, wherein the second plurality of end panels are longer in a longitudinal direction than the first plurality of end panels. 11. The package of claim 5, wherein the edge region and the adjoining region approximately bisect the overlapping panel. 12. The package of claim 5, further comprising a container positioned within the cavity. 13. The package of claim 12, wherein the container comprises a flange disposed between the bottom panel and the edge region of the overlapping panel. 14. A method for forming a package, the method comprising: providing a blank defining a first side and a second side, the blank comprising: a bottom panel;a top panel coupled to the bottom panel; andan overlapping panel coupled to the top panel, the overlapping panel comprising:an edge region; and an adjoining region, the adjoining region positioned between the edge region and the top panel;folding the blank between the overlapping panel and the top panel toward the second side;folding the blank between the top panel and the bottom panel toward the second side; andattaching the adjoining region of the overlapping panel to the bottom panel such that both of the adjoining region and the edge region are overlaying the bottom panel and the edge region remains substantially unattached to the bottom panel. 15. The method of claim 14, wherein folding the blank avoids folding each of the top panel, the bottom panel and the overlapping panel with respect to itself. 16. The method of claim 14, wherein the blank further comprises a first plurality of end panels coupled to the bottom panel and a second plurality of end panels coupled to the top panel, the method further comprising folding the first plurality of end panels relative to the bottom panel toward the second side, folding the second plurality of end panels relative to the top panel toward the second side, and coupling the first plurality of end panels to the second plurality of end panels.
