System for separating corrugated fiberboard

A container, comprising:

• (a) a body having a side panel interconnecting a first end panel and a second end panel, said body comprising a first liner, a second liner, and a corrugated medium located therebetween;
• (b) a first string extending transversely of said side panel between said first end panel and said second end panel and located in said side panel on said second liner, said first string having a graspable end;
• and
• (c) a second guide string located in said side panel on said second liner in spaced-apart relationship to said first string, said second string lacking a graspable end.

A container, comprising;

• (a) a body having a side panel interconnecting a first end panel and a second end panel, said body comprising a first liner, a second liner, and a corrugated medium located therebetween;
• and
• (b) at least two strings located in the side panel in spaced-apart relationship between said corrugated medium and said second liner of said side panel, said strings extending transversely of said side panel between said first end panel and said second end panel,
• (c) wherein said second liner defines a line of weakness between and generally parallel to said at least two strings.

A container blank, comprising;

• (a) a side panel interconnecting a first end panel and a second end panel, each one of said panels comprising a first liner, a second liner, and a corrugated medium located therebetween;
• and
• (b) at least two strings located between said corrugated medium and said second liner, said strings extending transversely of said side panel between said first end panel and said second end panel,
• (c) wherein said second liner defines a line of weakness between and generally parallel to said at least two strings.

A container, comprising:

• (a) a body having a side panel interconnecting a first end panel and a second end panel, said body comprising a first liner, a second liner, and a corrugated medium located therebetween;
• and
• (b) at least two strings located in the side panel in spaced-apart relationship between said corrugated medium and said second liner of said side panel, said strings extending transversely of said side panel between said first end panel and said second end panel,
• (c) wherein said second liner defines the interior of said container and said first liner defines the exterior of said container, and
• (d) wherein said side panel has an edge and one of said at least two strings has an end proximate said edge, said side panel defining a first slit located between said at least two strings extending a distance from said edge and intersecting said first liner, said second liner and said corrugated medium and a second slit located adjacent said first slit extending at least said distance and intersecting said first liner, said second liner and said corrugated medium, said end of said string being located between said first slit and said second slit.

A system for separating a corrugated fiberboard panel along a separation line, comprising:

• (a) a corrugated fiberboard panel having a first liner and a second liner with a corrugated medium sandwiched therebetween;
• (b) at least two spaced-apart strings located in said panel, said strings being located on opposite sides of a separation line defined on said panel;
• and
• (c) a pull tab located in said panel, said pull tab being connected to at least one of said strings such that when said pull tab is pulled away from said panel and transverse to the separation line said at least one of said strings severs at least a portion of said panel to divide said at least a portion of said panel into a first section and a second section along a dividing line, and at least one other of said strings acts as a guide to define the location of said dividing line.
