Abstract

A foldable container having reinforced corners is provided. The container includes a bottom section which is delimited by upright side and end panels. The side and end panels are foldably connected to the periphery of the bottom section and cooperate therewith to form an open top product-accommodating compartment. Pairs of corner-reinforcing members are foldably connected to the edges of each end panel adjacent the side panels. Each corner-reinforcing member is provided with a first section connected to the end panel edge and partially overlying and being secured to the interior surface of the adjacent side panel. A second section is connected to the first section and is secured thereto in at least a partial foldback relation. A third section is connected to the second section and is secured in partially overlying relation with the interior surface of the end panel.
