Leak proof container with adhesive attachment

A method of forming a container from a blank having an inner and outer side, the blank comprising a bottom panel having a plurality of peripheral edges, first and second side panels connected to the bottom panel at opposing lateral peripheral edges and defining lower edges of the container, first and second end portions located at opposing longitudinal ends of the blank, each end portion including an inner end panel connected to a longitudinal peripheral edge of the bottom panel, an outer end panel having an inner longitudinal edge hingedly connected to a longitudinal edge of the inner end panel, first and second corner panels, each corner panel having a longitudinal edge connected to a respective one of the first and second side panels and a lateral edge connected to a lateral edge of the inner end panel, the method including forming an end portion of the container comprising:

• applying an adhesive material to form an adhesive area located on the outer side of the blank and comprising at least a portion on each of the outer end panel and the inner end panel and extending longitudinally generally continuously from the outer end panel to the inner end panel;
• folding the side panels and inner end panel upward from the bottom panel, and simultaneously folding each corner panel about a diagonal gusset fold line to define a gusset;
• folding each gusset perpendicular to a respective side panel to overlapping relationship with the inner end panel and into engagement with the adhesive area;
• and
• folding the outer end panel about the inner longitudinal edge of the outer end panel to position the adhesive area in engagement with at least a portion of each of the gussets.
