Abstract
A container for packaging rubber sheets or blocks for sea transport is formed by a framework of generally L-shaped cross-section members comprising uprights and base members with a tubular rail joining the ends of the uprights. Gussets may be provided for strengthening the long sides of the container. The sides of the framework of the container 1 may be filled by a mesh structure of interlinked chains or bars. The container has a base which may be corrugated for strength or may be non-corrugated and may be provided with channels or gripps for receiving the forks of a forklift truck. Rectangular cross-section extension members may be provided at the corners of the base for additional stability.
