Combination shipping container and dispenser

1. A combination shipping container and dispenser, comprising:

a top;

a bottom opposite the top;

two end walls, each end wall being located between the top and the bottom;

two sides, each being located between the top and the bottom and adjacent to each of the end walls;

a first perforation formed in the top and extending to each of the sides and extending between a first point and a second point;

a first line of weakness extending between the first point and the second point of the first perforation, the first perforation and the first line of weakness defining a first opening in the combination shipping container and dispenser and a first hinged door for covering the first opening;

a second perforation formed in one of the end walls and extending to each of the sides and extending between a first point and a second point;

a second line of weakness extending between the first point and the second point of the second perforation, the second perforation and the second line of weakness defining a second opening in the combination shipping container and dispenser and a second hinged door for covering the second opening;

a third perforation extending from the first point of the first perforation generally perpendicular thereto and a fourth perforation extending from the second point of the first perforation generally perpendicular thereto and a third line of weakness generally parallel to the first line of weakness and extending between the third perforation and the fourth perforation, wherein a section of the top disposed between the first line of weakness and the third line of weakness defines a first hinged door portion coextensive with the first hinged door such that the first opening defined by pivotally opening the first hinged door about the first line of weakness is enlarged by pivotally opening the first hinged door portion about the third line of weakness; and

a fifth perforation extending from the first point of the second perforation generally perpendicular thereto and a sixth perforation extending from the second point of the second perforation generally perpendicular thereto and a fourth line of weakness generally parallel to the second line of weakness and extending between the fifth perforation and the sixth perforation, wherein a section of the respective end wall disposed between the second line of weakness and the fourth line of weakness defines a second hinged door portion coextensive with the second hinged door such that the second opening defined by pivotally opening the second hinged door about the second line of weakness is enlarged by pivotally opening the second hinged door portion about the fourth line of weakness.

2. The combination shipping container and dispenser of claim 1 wherein the first hinged door is located in the top adjacent to the end wall that does not contain the second hinged door.

3. A blank for forming a combination shipping container and dispenser, comprising:

an adhesive tab;

a bottom panel adjacent to the adhesive tab and having a top and a bottom;

a first end panel adjacent to the bottom panel and having a top and a bottom;

a top panel adjacent to the first end panel and having a top and a bottom;

a second end panel adjacent to the top panel and having a top and a bottom;

a bottom panel top flap adjacent to the top of the bottom panel;

a bottom panel bottom flap adjacent to the bottom of the bottom panel;

a first end panel top flap adjacent to the top of the first end panel;

a first end panel bottom flap adjacent to the bottom of the first end panel;

a top panel top flap adjacent to the top of the top panel;

a top panel bottom flap adjacent to the bottom of the top panel;

a second end panel top flap adjacent to the top of the second end panel;

a second end panel bottom flap adjacent to the bottom of the second end panel;

a first perforation formed in the first end panel and extending partially into the first end panel top flap and the first end panel bottom flap, the first perforation extending between a first point and a second point;

a first line of weakness extending between the first point and the second point of the first perforation, the first perforation and the first line of weakness defining a first hinged door;

a second perforation formed in the top panel and extending partially into the top panel top flap and the top panel bottom flap, the second perforation extending between a first point and a second point;

a second line of weakness extending between the first point and the second point of the second perforation, the second perforation and the second line of weakness defining a second hinged door;

a third line of weakness substantially parallel to the first line of weakness and a third perforation extending between the first point of the first perforation and the third line of weakness and a fourth perforation extending between the first point of the first perforation and the third line of weakness, wherein a section of the first end panel disposed between the first line of weakness and the third line of weakness defines a first hinged door portion coextensive with the first hinged door such that a first opening defined by pivotally opening the first hinged door about the first line of weakness is enlarged by pivotally opening the first hinged door portion about the third line of weakness; and

a fourth line of weakness substantially parallel to the second line of weakness and a fifth perforation extending between the first point of the second perforation and the fourth line of weakness and a sixth perforation extending between the second point of the second perforation and the fourth line of weakness, wherein a section of the top panel disposed between the second line of weakness and the fourth line of weakness defines a second hinged door portion coextensive with the second hinged door such that a second opening defined by pivotally opening the second hinged door about the second line of weakness is enlarged by pivotally opening the second hinged door portion about the fourth line of weakness.
