Abstract

A container for receiving and holding an object comprises generally parallel front and rear panels, generally parallel side panels, and a bottom panel, the edges of the front, rear and side panels being joined together and being joined with the bottom panel to form a generally bag-like container with an open top. The top edges of the front, rear and side panels are folded toward the bottom panel to form a reinforcing cuff proximate the open top of the container. A support member includes a first portion installed within the cuff and a second portion extending from the first portion out of the cuff and beyond the top of the container. The second support member portion includes an opening for receiving a supporting member for supporting the container in a hanging condition.
