Abstract A blank for forming a receptacle is provided which includes a substantially circular bottom member, a pair of side members each connected to portions of said bottom member, and each of said side members including at one end thereof handle ears integrally formed with the side members. The blank is erected to form a receptacle wherein the bottom member forms the bottom wall of the receptacle, and the side members cooperate to form the sidewall of the receptacle. The handle ears are formed on opposite ends of the side members, such that when the blank is formed into a receptacle, the handle ears are positioned diametrically opposite each other on the sidewall of the receptacle.
