ABSTRACT:
A corrugated cardboard container for storing and transporting produce and the like has a bottom member, and a plurality of upwardly extending planar first members formed to the bottom member and defining walls of the container. The bottom member and first members are comprised of corrugated cardboard. At least one, preferably two, upwardly extending second members are attached to the bottom member and define reinforcement for increasing the structural strength of the container. The second members preferably define end members of the container and comprise solid fiberboard which has substantially greater structural strength than corrugated cardboard. Such paperboard reinforcements are resistent to the effects of moisture. Thus, a produce container is provided which has improved structural strength and which does not degrade due to the presence of moisture.
