<p>A shipping case of fragile product-filled cartons is made up of a rectangular sleeve of corrugated fiberboard having open ends and having the corrugations thereof running between the open ends. A plurality of cartons are stacked in rectangular configuration in the sleeve and carton occupy the entire volume of the sleeve, with exposed carton faces forming a substantially planar surface at both ends of the sleeve. Heat shrinkable transparent film in the form of band is disposed around the open ends of the fiberboard sleeve and around at least two opposite walls of the sleeve, and is shrunk, in order to contain the sleeve and cartons together as an integral unit, thereby providing a shipping case without end flaps.</p> |
