The container forms from a blank of corrugated paperboard scored for folding to provide a back, two opposing side walls, and two opposing end walls. The back includes an opening for partially receiving therethrough the bowl of the sink. A pair of supports are each foldably attached along a first score to a respective one of the end walls. A plurality of sections in the support are defined by second scores. The support folds on the scores and bears against the bottom and the end wall. The sink sits on the support. Two containers are nested together by placing one container on the other. This positions the bottom side of the bowl of one sink in the bowl of the second sink.
