A container including a paper-based cradle, a paper-based insert, and a thermoplastic film. The cradle has exterior corner panels that form a transition between the exterior end panels and exterior side panels. The cradle and insert are held together by the thermoplastic film that is thermoformed into conformance with the cradle and insert. The exterior corner panels at the junctures between the exterior end panels and exterior side panel can reduce the potential for defects in the thermoformed thermoplastic film.
