Stackable corrugated board package.

摘要

The disclosure relates to a package for storing fruit or the like objects. The package is in the form of a tray, carton or case (1) with a pair of panel supports (6) provided adjacent each end wall (3). The panel supports substantially bear the weight of the like packages positioned thereabove when a stack of packages is formed. The panel supports have a pair of protrusions (8) on the upper edge thereof and a pair of recesses adjacent the lower edge thereof wherein the protrusions can be positioned in the recesses (14) of a package positioned thereabove when two or more packages are stacked. So that a stiff protrusion is provided, the panel support is formed from dual arch corrugated board and is formed from two layers of corrugated board joined at the protrusions. The wedge-shaped protrusions thus produced can be readily indexed in an adjacent recess. The invention also relates to the support panel per se and the three piece panel blank used to form the package.
