Abstract
A multiple compartment shipping and display box includes a plurality of compartments and is made from a single piece of material. The box includes two channel-beam structures that are used to form two end compartments. A shelf extends between the two-channel-beam structures and defines two more compartments. A box beam extends between the two channel-beam structures, and has a portion of the shelf as one side of the beam. The interior volume of the box beam provides yet another compartment. In addition to defining the various compartments, the channel-beam structures and the box beam provide rigidity and strength to the box. Also, three strips are each glued to a different side wall of the box to provide additional strength and rigidity. All of the components in the box are formed from a single piece of die-cut material.
