The sole FIGURE is a top view of a blank for a container, showing my new design.

The evenly spaced lines represent parts of the article that form no part of the claimed design. The dot-dot-dash lines represent fold lines that form no part of the claimed design. The dot-dash broken lines represent boundaries of the claim and form no part thereof. The claimed design extends up to the broken lines but does not include any of the broken lines.
