a generally rectangular bottom panel having front, back and side edges;
a first side panel connected to one of the side edges of each of the top and bottom panels along fold lines;
a second side panel comprising two overlapping flaps adhered together, one of the flaps being connected to the other side edge of the top panel along a fold line and the other flap being connected to the other side edge of the bottom panel along a fold line;
a front panel connected to the front edges of the top and bottom panels, the front panel comprising two overlapping flaps adhered together, one of the flaps being connected to the front edge of the top panel along a fold line and the other flap being connected to the front edge of the bottom panel along a fold line;
a back panel connected to the back edges of the top and bottom panels, the back panel comprising two overlapping flaps adhered together, one of the flaps being connected to the back edge of the top panel along a fold line and the other flap being connected to the back edge of the bottom panel along a fold line;
each of the front, back and side panels containing tear strip means extending substantially completely across the width thereof, the tear strip means in each of said panels being connected to the tear strip means in adjacent panels, so that removal of the tear strip means in each of the front, back and side panels will enable the portion of the package above the tear strip means to be separated from the portion of the package below the tear strip means;
the tear strip means in the second side panel comprising a tear strip located in each of the overlapping flaps so that one of the tear strips overlies the other; and
means permitting the overlying tear strips to be removed together.
