Abstract
A container formed by wrapping a slotted flexible sheet about rigid end panels having upper corner projections that extend through the slots. The end panels are formed from a blank having end flaps which are folded and adhered to the main body of the blank to provide double thickness at the end portions. Additional reinforcement may be provided by a reinforcing flap connected to the main body or by a stiffener insert. Stacking projections on the end panels extend through slots in the flexible sheet to maintain the sheet in place.
