Abstract
An improved shipping container is disclosed which may be used with a wooden pallet or the like. The shipping container includes an outer liner which has a plurality of flaps on the bottom thereof. The plurality of flaps are turned inwardly in a predetermined manner over and under a flat sheet which is positioned on the bottom of the container. The flat sheet then forms the bottom for the container with the turned in end flaps serving to retain the flat sheet on the bottom of the container. A portion of the flat sheet is exposed on the outside of the container and may be glued or stapled to the pallet. When formed in a generally octagonal shape, the improved shipping container has greater stacking strength and is able to retain a bulk quantity of various materials within the container without the materials working their way out of the container.
