Abstract
A paperboard bulk bin particularly suited for use in handling and transporting of large sections of meat products and the like is of two-piece construction, one portion being a side wall formed of alternating, foldably connected, rectangular upstanding side and corner panels, and a peripheral base support formed of interconnected horizontally disposed stepped flaps and locking flaps. The second portion is a bottom wall formed from a flat panel and having a perimeter corresponding to the bottom edges of the side and corner panels, and overlying the peripheral support base. The alternate stepped flaps and locking flaps are specifically designed in order to form a snap-lock peripheral base portion which holds the paperboard bulk bin in shape and is adapted to receive the bottom wall for subsequent loading and transporting of the meat products.
