A closure member, for a container, formed from corrugated paperboard, plastic, or other similar substance is provided. The closure member increases the strength of the container and the rigidity of the container sidewalls. In a preferred embodiment of the invention the edges of the closure member are flattened and formed into a depending skirt. The edge of the container sidewall is then rolled over the depending skirt to form a sealed unit. In a second embodiment of the invention, in which the edge of the closure member is not flattened, the closure member is inserted into the container and the edge of the container sidewall is rolled to form a support for the closure member. The edge of the closure member is sealed to the container sidewall in this second embodiment.
