US 2006/0138204 A1 · Stackable container with angled corner panel and container blank

Abstract

A tray-type container includes a bottom wall, longitudinally-extending outer side walls, and laterally-extending end walls, the outer side walls and the end walls extending upwardly from the bottom wall to form an inner cavity. The container includes a corner assembly configured to increase the container stability. The corner assembly includes an angled corner panel that extends across the corner and supplies added stability to the container. The containers may be used singularly, or a plurality of tray-type containers may be unitized in several stacked configurations. Typically, the plurality of unitized containers are placed upon a shipping pallet or slip sheet, or placed within a shipping container to facilitate shipping by large carriers.
