APPLIANCE SHIPPING CONTAINER WITH INTEGRAL CORNER POSTS

摘要

APPLIANCE SHIPPING CONTAINER WITH INTEGRAL CORNER POSTS A pair of cardboard blanks are each folded and glued to provide opposite sides of an appliance shipping container, each side including a pair of vertical corner posts integrally formed from folded portions of its associated blank. The two sides are fastened at their bottom ends to opposite edges of a rectangular base element supporting an appliance. Flaps at the tops of the two sides are folded to overlap each other, and are glued together to constitute the top of the container. One of the flaps includes an integrally formed handling flange to facilitate lifting and moving of the container. A transparent plastic film is stretch wrapped about the sides to complete the container, the resultant container having four generally transparent sides to allow a substantially full view of the appliance contained therein.
