Abstract

An improved box for packaging a pair of skis is provided, whereby the boxed skis will be held securely in place and will be protected against damage which may occur in shipping or handling. The skis are held relatively immobilized within the box without the need for inserting any spacers or the like into the box. The ends of the box are constructed to serve as impact absorbers should the box be dropped on its ends while the skis are in it. The box is shaped to provide improved nesting and stacking characteristics for storage prior to shipment.
