ABSTRACT:
A ventilated container for storing fresh produce is formed from a unitary continuous blank. The ventilated container includes a bottom wall, first and second opposing side walls, and first and second opposing end walls. The first and second side walls and the first and second end walls intersect with one another to form four inside corners of the container. The container forms a plurality of vents to permit air to flow through the container. Each of the first and second end walls is formed from an inner panel and an outer panel hingedly connected to each other along a substantially rigid upper ledge. The container includes four polygonal corner posts disposed adjacent the respective four inside corners of the container and extending from the bottom wall to a height of the upper ends of the respective corners. To enhance the stacking strength of the container, first and second minor flaps extend from opposing ends of the first side wall and third and fourth minor flaps extend from opposing ends of the second side wall. Each of the first, second, third, and fourth minor flaps includes a pair of overlapping panels hingedly connected to each other. The first and third minor flaps are captured between the inner and outer panels of the first end wall, and the second and fourth minor flaps are captured between the inner and outer panels of the second end wall.
