Abstract A broadsheet for manufacturing a carton for foodstuffs, such as chips, is described, which container comprises a container and a subcontainer for a garnishing, such as mayonnaise. The broadsheet is composed of a primary sheet of material for forming a container and a secondary sheet of material connected thereto for forming a subcontainer. The primary sheet of material is substantially rectangular and, starting from a first corner point, includes at least two folding lines extending to the opposite corner point and to one of the two sides of the rectangle adjacent thereto, respectively, whilst the secondary sheet of material is connected to one of the sides via a folding line and, starting from one of the corner points adjacent to the side in question, extends substantially along half the length of the side. Furthermore, a carton manufactured from the broadsheet is disclosed.
