Abstract
A container which protects a book or similar product, has reinforced end walls and is easier and cheaper to form than present containers and the method of forming the container into a book package. The end protection cells of the container are attached to side reinforcing panels. This reduces the number of steps required to place reinforcing panels in the end wall construction. In the preferred construction the end cell panels are attached to the main body only through the reinforcing panels. In one construction, an additional bellows or gusset panel is provided for additional reinforcement.
