A bulk bin is formed of a unitary sheet of corrugated paperboard and includes foldably joined side, end, and corner panels forming an open top structure of polygonal cross sectional configuration and having bottom structure comprising a pair of primary bottom closure panels foldably joined respectively to the bottom edges of the side panels and having abutting inner edges, a bottom closure flap foldably joined to the bottom edge of each of the corner panels and disposed in flat face contacting relation with one of the primary bottom closure panels, a pair of bottom locking panels foldably joined respectively to the bottom edges of the end panels and folded into flat face contacting relation with the bottom closure flaps and with the primary bottom closure panels and interlocked with the primary bottom closure panels to secure the bottom closure flaps between the primary bottom closure panels and the bottom locking panels.

A bulk bin formed of a unitary sheet of material comprising one pair each of side and end panels and two pairs of corner panels foldably joined to form a tubular structure of polygonal cross sectional configuration and said tubular structure having closure structure at one end including a pair of primary closure panels foldably joined respectively to the end edges of said side panels at one end thereof, a closure flap foldably joined to an edge of each of said corner panels at said one end of said tubular structure and disposed in flat face contacting relation with one of said primary closure panels, a pair of locking panels having an end edge and a pair of side edges and foldably joined respectively to an edge of each of said end panels at said one end of said tubular structure and folded into flat face contacting relation with said closure flaps and said primary closure panels and interlocked with said primary closure panels so as to secure said closure flaps between said primary closure panels and said locking panels, a pair of diagonal locking slots of hexagonal configuration formed in each of said primary closure panels for respectively receiving locking tabs formed at the corners of different ones of said locking panels, each of said locking panels including a pair of notches each having a base line parallel to the edge of the associated end panel at said one end of said tubular structure and formed in the edge of the associated locking panel remote from the associated end wall to define a pair of corner locking tabs and wherein each of said diagonal locking slots is a generally rectangular configuration having parallel side edges and parallel end edges, the side edge nearest the adjacent edge of the associated side wall being shorter than the other side edge and its ends being connected respectively with the adjacent ends of the end edges to form a pair of truncated corners one of which is approximately parallel to said adjacent edge of the associated side wall and the other of which is approximately perpendicular thereto, a side edge of one locking panel being disposed in abutting coinciding intimate contact with said one truncated corner of an adjacent locking slot and said base line of said one locking panel being disposed in abutting coinciding intimate contact with said other truncated corner of said adjacent locking slot when the locking tab adjacent said side edge of said one locking panel is inserted into said locking slot thereby to enhance stability of the bin.
