Abstract
A reusable container for shipping returnable bottles of soda or beer is prepared from a single flat blank of material such as corrugated paperboard without stitching, gluing or stapling. The folding sequence is arranged such that the container comprises double thick side walls, end walls prepared from five thicknesses of material, a triple thick bottom and a captured wire rim reinforcing member in the upper end. The resulting container has increased strength and durability as compared with prior art containers of the same type.
