Abstract: A shipping container having an internal plastic bag is described, as is the method of forming the container. A flat container blank if first formed. This differs from a conventional blank only in that it has blind score lines centered vertically on each of the end panels. Adhesive strips are placed on or adjacent the major score lines separating the face and end panels of the container. Either a flat or gusseted bag is then laid on the blank with a sealed bottom edge adjacent the outside edges of the bottom flaps of the container. An open end of the bag extends beyond the upper edge of the container. The blank is then folded along the blind score lines to form a partially assembled container that can be shipped flat. Final assembly can be readily done in the field. The container eliminates the need for field insertion of the bag where one is required.
