Abstract
A unique composite shipping container (10) comprises a straight tubular sidewall (12) of predetermined polygonal cross-sectional configuration which is preferably formed from corrugated fiberboard. Opposite open ends of the sidewall (12) are closed by foam end caps (14), which are preferably formed from expanded polystyrene to close the container and cushion the product (16) therein against shock. The end caps (14) are secured to the sidewall (12) by tape (18) or other suitable fastening techniques to seal the container (10).
