Abstract
A shipping container is disclosed for containing an article for shipment and for holding the article in relatively stable condition during shipment or storage. The container is made of one-piece fiberboard construction, and is generally formed from two pairs of opposed panels which are closed at the ends. To secure the article within the container, end flaps are also provided which may be folded into the container to cooperate with the article to hold it in a relatively stable position inside the container.
