Abstract

Paperboard containers for shipping and display have been invented that utilize the various parts of the container. Columns of containers possess excellent stacking strength and stability because rigid relationships exist between the containers. The rigid relationships are derived from good connections between the parts of the containers and the contents within. Since only a part of the contents are needed to develop column strength and stability, the contents are displayed.
