ONE-PIECE SHIPPING CONTAINER WITH DIFFERENTLY CONTOURED INNER AND OUTER WALLS AND A QUICK-LOCK BOTTOM

摘要

A container (10) has opposed end walls (11, 12) and opposed side walls (13, 14), each having inner and outer wall panels (16-23) defining double thickness walls. The outer wall panels define a rectangular or square outer container configuration. The inner wall panels along with diagonal extension panels (25a, 25b) define an octagonal inner container configuration. Bottom flaps (40-43) form a peripheral bottom wall (15), and include quick-lock detents (46, 47, 52, 53, 54) to enable quick and easy set up of the bottom. In one embodiment (10'), a reinforcing panel (61) is formed in two of the inner wall panels and is foldable between the inner and outer wall panels. A blank (B, B') for making the container is also disclosed.
