Abstract
A blank assembly for forming a container includes a body blank that includes a bottom panel and two opposing side panels. The side panels are configured to at least partially form two opposing side walls of the container. The blank assembly also includes at least two end blanks. Each end blank is configured to form at least a portion of an end wall of the container. Each end blank includes a first inner corner panel, a first inner end panel, a first reinforcement panel, a second reinforcement panel, and a second inner end panel coupled together in series along preformed, parallel fold lines. The first inner corner panel is configured to extend obliquely between a side wall and an end wall. The first reinforcement panel is configured to extend from the first inner end panel inwardly towards an interior cavity of the container.
