A container made from corrugated paperboard has more than four sides and is constructed to resist distortion when force is applied to the ends or sides of the container, and also to resist crushing when containers are stacked on top of one another. In one embodiment, the container has six sides, with two side walls, two end walls, and two diagonally opposed diagonal corner panels and two diagonally opposed square corners. In another embodiment, the container has seven sides, with two side walls, two end walls, and three diagonal corner panels and one square corner. In a further embodiment, the container has eight sides, with two side walls, two end walls, and four diagonally opposed diagonal corner panels. In this embodiment, the diagonal corner panels are oriented so that they subtend an angle of from about 35° to about 40°, and preferably 38°, with respect to the longitudinal axis of the container. The diagonal corner panels in the other embodiments may also be oriented at 38°, or from about 35° to about 40°.

1. A multi-sided container, comprising: opposite side walls, opposite end walls, and at least two diagonally opposite exterior diagonal corner panels joining adjacent said side and end walls, said side walls, end walls and diagonal corner panels all having a bottom edge and a free upper edge; at least one said side wall and an adjacent said end wall disposed orthogonally with respect to one another and connected to define a square corner extending the full depth of the container between the bottom and upper edges of the side and end walls, said full depth square corner serving to resist distortion of the container when a force is applied laterally against the sides or ends of the container, and the diagonal corner panels providing stacking strength for containers stacked on top of one another; and said end walls projecting at opposite side edges past the diagonal corner panels and terminating in alignment with the side walls, defining a rectangular shape whereby a rectangular lid placed on the box fits the shape of the box. 2. A container as claimed in claim 1, wherein: the container has six sides, including said side and end walls, and said two diagonal corner panels, and there are two diagonally opposite square corners. 3. A container as claimed in claim 2 wherein: the container end walls each comprise a plurality of overlapping end panels having upper edges with interlocking means on the upper edges so that the panels may be manually engages with one another and interlocked for manual erection of the container. 4. A container as claimed in claim 1, wherein: the container has seven sides, including said side and end walls, and three diagonally opposed diagonal corner panels, and there is one square corner.
