A multi-sided container comprises a bottom wall, opposite side walls, opposite end walls, a longitudinal axis, and a transverse axis. The multi-sided container also comprises diagonal corners connecting adjacent ends of the side walls and the end walls. The diagonal corners each comprising an inner diagonal corner panel and an outer diagonal corner panel. One of the inner and outer diagonal corner panels extends at an angle of less than 45° with respect to an adjacent end wall, and the other of said inner and outer diagonal corner panels extends at an angle of less than 45° with respect to an adjacent side wall. One of the inner and outer diagonal corner panels has a major thrust vector in a direction parallel to the transverse axis of the container and said other of said inner and outer diagonal corner panels has a major thrust vector in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis of the container. The inner and outer diagonal corner panels provide resistance to both lateral and longitudinal deflection of the container.
