Abstract: A container assembly. The container assembly includes a tube portion having a plurality of sides formed from an inner fiberboard layer, an outer fiberboard layer, and at least one corrugated layer sandwiched therebetween, an internal surface of the inner fiberboard layer having a first generally water-resistant coating, the inner fiberboard layer extending around a bottom of the corrugated layer and being adhered to at least a portion of the outer fiberboard layer. The container assembly further includes a base portion including a bottom panel and a plurality of flaps extending from the bottom panel, the base portion including a second generally water-resistant coating, the plurality of flaps overlapping a portion of the plurality of sides. The plurality of flaps is adhered to respective ones of the plurality of sides by one or more continuous adhesive lines.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a container includes at least eight side panels having generally the same dimensions. The at least eight side panels form an enclosure. One of the at least eight side panels includes a first access opening that is integrally formed therein. The first access opening permits access to the interior of the enclosure. The container further includes a top panel connected to one or more of the at least eight side panels. The top panel forms a second access opening for providing access to the interior of the enclosure. The container also includes a bottom panel connected to one or more of the at least eight side panels.
