Packing box for shipping protection

摘要

Two embodiments of corrugated paper shipping boxes that can be knocked down into a flat form and in which a cradle support is also formed by corrugated paper for holding the shipped article away from the sides of the box. In one embodiment, the cradle is formed by extensions of the end flaps of the end walls of the box and in another embodiment, the cradle is formed as a separate assemblage also from corrugated paper and adapted to be folded into a flat configuration. This facilitates storage and disposal and eliminates the use of foamed plastic insert pieces.
