Abstract

A container is provided for large quantities of fluent material and comprises laminated walls, each of which is made of multi-wall corrugated board. A bag of flexible material is provided within the container and has a first fitting which extends into an opening through a wall of the container near the bottom; a flap covers the opening and conceals the fitting being held in position by a severable strap. The container has bottom-forming flaps extending from the intermediate one of three layers forming the container to form a bottom for the container. The discharge fitting is secured to a flap which extends from a bottom plate extending through an opening in the flap and having flanges on either side of the flap, there being a tab partially cut from the flap with a free edge adjacent the opening, so that the fitting may be inserted through the opening formed by the tab and then slid into position in the small opening with the flanges on either side of the flap and being held in position by restoration of the tab to its normal position. An assembly is provided which includes a top plate, a bottom plate and a bag, with the bag secured to the top and bottom plates, preferably by the locking of a fitting to each of the plates. There is also provided a flattened container having steel bands on it in the flattened condition.
