A container formed from a blank of foldable sheet material, said container comprising: a top portion comprising a top panel hingedly connected to a front tuck flap along a front edge of said top panel and to a first top side panel along a first side edge of said top panel; anda bottom portion comprising a bottom panel, a first bottom side panel hingedly connected to a first side edge of said bottom panel, a front panel hingedly connected to a front edge of said bottom panel, anda corner portion comprising: a first minor diagonal panel extending from a front edge of said first bottom side panel;a first major diagonal panel extending from a first side edge of said front panel, said first major diagonal panel having a length greater than a length of said first minor diagonal panel; anda first corner panel hingedly connected to said first minor and major diagonal panels, said first corner panel overlapping and substantially parallel to said bottom panel, wherein said front panel is engaged by said front tuck flap to at least partially define a first releasably secure closure of the container, and a front edge of said first top side panel includes a locking tab which is engaged by said first minor diagonal panel to at least partially define a second releasably secure closure of the container. 10. A container in accordance with claim 9 wherein said front tuck flap further comprises an offset edge, at least one of said front panel and said first major diagonal panel further comprises a notch, and said offset edge being received by said notch to at least partially define the first releasably secure closure of the container. 11. A container in accordance with claim 9 wherein said first bottom side panel and said first minor panel define a locking aperture therebetween, and said locking tab is received by said locking aperture to at least partially define the second releasably secure closure of the container. 12. A container in accordance with claim 9 wherein said front portion of said first top side panel is received between said first bottom side panel and a side edge of said first major diagonal panel in a friction fit to define a third releasably secure closure of the container. 13. A container in accordance with claim 9 wherein an exterior surface of said front tuck flap is engaged in a friction fit with an interior surface of said front panel to at least partially define the first releasably secure closure of the container in the closed position. 14. A container in accordance with claim 9 wherein said locking tab is engaged in a friction fit with an interior surface of said first minor diagonal panel to at least partially define the second releasably secure closure of the container. 15.
