One-piece corrugated box with interior supports

摘要

A one-piece, top opening, container which is preferably made of multiply corrugated cardboard. The container comprises a pair of opposed end wall panels and a pair of opposed side wall panels foldably joined together to form a tubular structure, and top and bottom closures for closing opposite ends of the container. The bottom closure comprises at least one object support or platform which projects upwardly into the container and is adapted for supporting the object that is to be packaged therein. The object support includes foldably joined panel sections and it has an edge which is joined by a fold line to one of the wall panels of the container so that the panel sections of the support can lie substantially flat against the lower portion of the one end wall panel when the container is in a knockdown condition. The top closure comprises at least one restraint wall which extends across the interior of the container at a location spaced downwardly from the upper end thereof. The restraint wall engages the object packaged in the container to restrain movement of the object. The restraint wall is integral with one of the wall panels of the container and is foldably joined thereto by a fold line.
