Abstract
A container may comprise a body having a top end, an opposite bottom end, a pair of opposing first and second duplex panel structures and a pair of opposing first and second sidewalls, with each of the first and second sidewalls including a pair of first and second lateral end flaps. Each of the first and second duplex panel structures may comprise an inner end wall and an outer end wall. The inner and outer end walls of the first and second duplex panel structures may be bonded together along a medial longitudinal spine. The lateral end flaps of the first and second sidewalls may be respectively sandwiched between the inner and outer end walls of the first and second duplex panel structures to lock the inner and outer end walls in position adjacent the first and second sidewalls.

A container comprising:
- a body having a top end, an opposite bottom end, a pair of opposing first and second duplex panel structures, and a pair of opposing first and second sidewalls extending between the first and second duplex panel structures, with each of the first and second sidewalls including a pair of first and second lateral end flaps extending from opposite sides thereof,
- wherein each of the first and second duplex panel structures comprises an inner end wall having an outer surface and an outer end wall having an inner surface,
- wherein the outer and inner surfaces of the inner and outer end walls of each of the first and second duplex panel structures confront one another and are bonded together along a medial longitudinal spine that extends between the top and bottom ends of the body, and
- wherein each of the first and second lateral end flaps of the first and second sidewalls is sandwiched between the outer and inner surfaces of the inner and outer end walls of one of the first or second duplex panel structures to lock the first and second sidewalls in position adjacent the first and second duplex panel structures.

A container comprising:
- a cap;
- a base;
- a body having a top end and a bottom end adapted for receipt in the base, the body comprising:
- a pair of first and second duplex panel structures having opposing inner surfaces, with each duplex panel structure comprising an inner bracket panel and an outer butterfly panel coupled to the inner bracket panel along a medial longitudinal spine, the inner bracket panel being formed from a one-piece blank that defines an inner end wall and a pair of lateral side flaps, and the outer butterfly panel being formed from a one-piece blank that defines an outer end wall having an inner surface that faces toward an outer surface of the adjacent inner end wall;
- and
- a pair of first and second key panels having opposing inner surfaces, with each key panel being formed from a one-piece blank that defines a sidewall and a pair of first and second lateral end flaps,
- wherein, each of the lateral end flaps of the key panels is sandwiched between the outer surface of one of the inner end walls and the inner surface of the adjacent outer end wall to lock the inner and outer end walls in position adjacent the sidewalls.

A container comprising:
- a body having a first end, an opposite second end, a pair of opposing first and second duplex panel structures disposed at the first end of the body, a pair of opposing third and fourth duplex panel structures disposed at the second end of the body, a first key panel extending between the first and second duplex panel structures at the first end of the body, and a second key panel extending between the third and fourth duplex panel structures at the second end of the body,
- wherein each duplex panel structure comprises an inner bracket panel and an outer butterfly panel coupled to the inner bracket panel along a medial longitudinal spine,
- wherein the first and second key panels have opposing inner surfaces,
- wherein each of the first and second key panels is formed from a one-piece blank that defines an end wall of the container and a pair of first and second lateral end flaps,
- wherein the first and second lateral end flaps of the first key panel are respectively sandwiched between the inner bracket panels and the outer butterfly panels of the first and second duplex panel structures to lock the first key panel in position adjacent the first and second duplex panel structures at the first end of the body, and
- wherein the first and second lateral end flaps of the second key panel are respectively sandwiched between the inner bracket panels and the outer butterfly panels of the third and fourth duplex panel structures to lock the second key panel in position adjacent the third and fourth duplex panel structures at the second end of the body.
