Claim:
A blank of sheet material for forming a container, said blank comprising: a series of four panels connected along a plurality of substantially parallel fold lines, said panels comprising a spaced-apart pair of major panels and a spaced-apart pair of minor panels, said pair of minor panels configured to form a top wall and a bottom wall of the container when the container is formed, each minor panel is connected to at least one major panel of said pair of major panels, each minor panel of the pair of minor panels having a first depth defined between two adjacent fold lines of the plurality of substantially parallel fold lines; a corner panel extending from each side edge of each major panel of said pair of major panels, each corner panel including a top edge and an opposing bottom edge, each corner panel having a substantially constant height that is substantially the same height as each major panel of said pair of major panels such that, when the container is formed, the top and bottom edges of each corner panel are adjacent to and in face-to-face relationship with an interior surface of the top wall and an interior surface of the bottom wall, respectively; a side panel extending from each side edge of each said corner panel such that each said corner panel extends between one of the major panels and one of the side panels, wherein two of the side panels are configured to form a side wall of the container having a second depth and a substantially constant height that is substantially the same height as each major panel of said pair of major panels, wherein the second depth is less than the first depth; and a lateral flap extending from each side edge of each minor panel of said pair of minor panels, each lateral flap comprising free side edges spaced apart from each other a distance substantially equal to the second depth such that each lateral flap does not overlap the corner panels adjacent to the lateral flap when the container is formed.
