Abstract A heavy duty container is formed from cut and scored paperboard sheet material and comprises first and second scored blanks each including main and side foldably connected panel elements with auxiliary panel elements foldably connected to each other. The auxiliary elements are foldable to position to define a tube with the side panel and having a double thickness wall therewith. The cut and scored blanks are placed and secured in position with respect to each other to define three tubes with the endmost of the tubes provided with double thickness side and end walls. A closure structure is provided for at least one of the soconnected tubes, and the tubes may be provided with flaps to provide additional thickness of material at the lower end of the container to cause same to be especially resistant to flowable materials within the container. The center of the three tubes may be provided with a liner so that it also has double thickness walls.
A heavy duty container formed from paperboard sheet material and comprising: a. first and second cut and scored blanks each including: i. main and side foldably connected panel elements; ii. auxiliary panel elements foldably connected to each other and to said side panel element; iii. said auxiliary panel elements being foldable to and secured in position to define a tube with said side panel element and forming a double thickness wall of said tube with said side panel element; b. said cut and scored blanks when so formed being placed and secured in position with respect to each other so that the tube formed from one of said blanks is placed in position on the main panel of the other of said blanks to define three tubes with the endmost of said tubes having exposed double thickness side and end walls; c. a closure structure for said connected tubes.
