Abstract
A bulk box () comprising a base panel () and four side panels () individually formed and assembled into a container. The bottom surface () of the base panel () comprises a matrix of pedestals () with the ground-contacting face () of each of the corner pedestals extending to the cornermost portions of the respective pedestal. The side panels () include lateral flanges () which overlap to form 'double-thickness' corners. The side panels () also have upwardly extending tabs () and the base panel () has notches () so that, when a plurality of the bulk boxes are stacked one on top of the other, the tabs of a lower bulk box are received within the notches of an upper bulk box.
