1. A method of forming a package,
establishing a blank with a bottom wall, the blank including a first sidewall and a second sidewall on opposing ends of the bottom wall and a lid panel and a top panel on opposing sides of the bottom wall;
first folding the first sidewall and the second sidewall to be perpendicular to the bottom wall such that an end panel of a ramp contacts the bottom wall, the ramp being directly connected to a first edge of the first sidewall;
second folding the top panel into a first closed position such that a first top wall of the top panel is parallel to the bottom wall as the first top wall at least partially covers the ramp; and
third folding the lid panel into a second closed position such that a second top wall of the lid panel covers the first top wall.
