The container of claim 3, wherein a flap extends from each cover sidewall, and wherein each flap substantially covers one of said cover endwall openings and one of said carton endwall openings so as to inhibit fluid flow in to and out of said interior space of said container when said cover sidewall is in said closed position. 5. The container of claim 4, wherein each said cover sidewall flaps is substantially free of all said cover endwall openings and substantially free of all said carton endwall openings so as to permit fluid flow in to and out of said interior space of said container when said cover sidewall is in said open position. 6. The container of claim 1, further comprising a window in at least one of said carton sidewalls. 7. The container of claim 1, wherein at least one of said carton sidewalls is formed from a carton sidewall panel foldably connected to said bottom wall along a side fold line. 8. The container of claim 7, wherein said carton sidewall panel includes at least one end flap foldably connected to one end of said carton sidewall panel such that said end flap car, be aligned with an end fold line of said bottom wall when said carton sidewall panel is folded along said side fold line. 9. The container of claim 8, wherein at least one of said carton endwalls is formed from a carton endwall outer panel foldably connected to said bottom wall along said end fold line. 10. The container of claim 9, further comprising a carton endwall inner panel foldably connected to an outer edge of said carton endwall outer panel, said carton endwall inner panel being foldable over said carton sidewall panel end flap when said carton sidewall panel end flap is aligned with said end fold line of said bottom wall. 11. The container of claim 10, wherein said bottom wall includes at least one slot located near said end fold line and wherein said carton endwall inner panel includes at least one tab extending from an outer edge thereof, said carton endwall inner panel tab being received by said bottom wall slot when said carton endwall inner panel is folded over said carton sidewall panel end flap. 12. The container or claim 11, said carton endwall inner panel further comprising at least one interior flap extending from one end thereof and being foldable relative thereto for forming a support. 13. The container of claim 12, wherein said interior flap extends towards said carton sidewall panel. 14. The container of claim 12, wherein said carton endwall inner panel includes an upstanding tab for positioning said cover vertically above said carton when said cover is fit over said carton. 15. The container of claim 1, wherein said carton endwall includes an upstanding tab for positioning said cover vertically above said carton when said cover is fit over said carton. 16. The container of claim 15, wherein is upstanding tab is collapsible when a force is applied to said cover. 17. The container of claim 1, wherein at least one of said cover sidewalls is formed from a cover sidewall panel foldably connected to said top wall along a side fold line. 18. The container of claim 17, wherein said cover sidewall panel includes at least one end flap foldably connected to one end of said cover sidewall panel such that said end flap can be aligned with an end fold line of said top wall when said cover sidewall panel is folded along said side fold line. 19. The container of claim 18, wherein at least one of said cover endwalls is formed from a cover endwall outer panel foldably connected to said top wall along said end fold line. 20. The container of claim 19, further comprising a cover endwall inner panel foldably connected to an outer edge of said cover endwall outer panel, said cover endwall inner panel being foldable over said cover sidewall panel end flap when said cover sidewall panel end flap is aligned with said end fold line of said top wall. 21.
