Abstract
A pack or container for the storage and transportation of fragile articles such as eggs, light bulbs and the like comprises a laminate consisting of a corrugated band or strip and a covering band secured together to give spaced troughs extending transversely of the material, there being spaced, parallel slits in the material extending in the longitudinal direction thereof, the slits extending wholly through the covering band to define separate side-by-side strips thereof and only partially through the corrugated band to define side-by-side strips of such band joined together at the peaks of the corrugations. The junctures form fold lines extending longitudinally of the packing material about which, upon erection of the pack, transversely adjacent regions provide mutually inclined walls defining pockets to receive the articles.
