Abstract
A container formed from a blank of sheet material includes a bottom wall, first and second end walls, and first and second side walls. The first and second end walls each include, in series, an end wall panel, a ledge panel that extends inwardly from an upper edge of the end wall, an angled support panel that extends diagonally toward the end wall panel, and an anchor panel in facing contact with the end wall panel. The ledge panel, angled support panel, and end wall panel form a triangular cross-section. The side walls each include first and second wrap-around flaps that extend from respective end edges of the side walls and at least partly around a corresponding one of the container's first and second end walls.
