Folded-cap containers and method for making same

A folded-cap container formed from a first blank of sheet material and a second blank of sheet material, the folded-cap container comprising:

• a pair of end walls and a pair of side walls, each of the pair of end walls and the pair of side walls includes at least one panel of the first blank, each of the pair of end walls and the pair of side walls extends a first distance from a top end to a bottom end;
• a plurality of corner walls, each corner wall includes at least one panel of the first blank, each corner wall extends between one of the pair of end walls and one of the pair of side walls, each corner wall extends a second distance from the top end to a bottom free edge, wherein the second distance is shorter than the first distance;
• and
• a top wall disposed proximate the top end that includes a top panel of the second blank, wherein a lifting panel extends from the top panel and is folded downward over a top end of one of the pair of end walls and against an outward facing surface of said end wall.

A method for forming a container from a first blank of sheet material and a second blank of sheet material, the method comprising:

• rotating a pair of end panels, a pair of side panels, and a plurality of corner panels of the first blank about a plurality of fold lines to form a pair of end walls, a pair of side walls, and a plurality of corner walls, wherein each of the pair of end walls and the pair of side walls extends a first distance from a top end to a bottom end, each corner wall extends a second distance from the top end to a bottom free edge, and the second distance is shorter than the first distance;
• and
• forming a top wall proximate the top end of the container by:
• coupling a top panel of the second blank to a top end panel of the first blank, wherein a lifting panel extends from the top panel, and wherein the top end panel extends from a top edge of one end panel of the pair of end panels;
• and
• rotating the top end panel about a fold line at the top edge of the one end panel.
