Article-transport container

An article-transport container comprising:

• a floor having a respective left-side and right-side closures foldably joined thereto, a front end closure foldably joined to the floor and to the respective right-side and left-side closures, a rear end closure foldably joined to the floor and to the respective right-side and left-side closures, and four quad-layer corners defined by a first quad-layer corner, a second quad-layer corner, a third quad-layer corner, and a fourth quad-layer corner cooperate with the respective right-side and left-side closures to define an interior region adapted to receive articles therein, the first quad-layer corner being arranged to extent between a front end wall a and right side wall and lie at an acute angle relative to the front end wall wherein the acute angle is defined to be between a first mitered edge of the floor and a front end edge of floor and wherein the first quad-layer corner includes respective outer and inner layers and respective first and second medial layers being sandwiched between the respective outer and inner layers to enhance stacking strength of the container while minimizing scarps produced during construction of the container.

A blank (28) for making an article-transport container comprising:

• A floor (14), a left side closure (16) being appended to floor (14) along a left-side fold line (30), a right side closure (20) being appended to floor (14) along a right-side fold line (32), a rear end closure (18) being appended to floor (14) along a rear-end fold line (34), and a front end closure (12) being appended to floor (14) along a front-end fold line (36), the front end closure includes a front end strip and a front end canopy coupled to the front end strip about a front end canopy fold line wherein the front end strip includes a front end wall, a first front anchor flap coupled to the front end wall about a first front anchor-flap fold line and a second front anchor flap coupled to the front end wall about a second front anchor-flap fold line and wherein the right side closure (20), the left side closure (16), the rear end closure (18), the front end closure (12), and four quad-layer corners (21), (22), (23), (24) cooperate with one another to form a border coupled to the floor (14) and arranged to cooperate with the floor (14) to define interior region (26) of container (10).
