Abstract (en)

The container of the invention has a polygonal form plan projection with flat side faces that are used for stable placement of the container when laid flat, while the vertices of the plan projection of the container take the form of chamfers whose cant edges serves as elements for reinforcing the container in face of the vertical loads that have to be withstood by the actual container. This container has enhanced characteristics for horizontal stacking, as well as container grouping improvements, as these groupings take up less space and are more resistant to coming apart.
