Hazardous materials container

Abstract

A hazardous materials container provides an enclosure for the transshipment of biological and other materials. The enclosure provides a portable, disposable, and/or reusable container. A first outside layer is constructed of a corrugated fiberboard. An inside lamination of reinforcing material, such as polyethylene terephthalate provides mechanical robustness to the container that meets new regulations for impact on such a container during shipment. Sections of reinforcing materials are recessed from the edges of the fiberboard. When assembled, the die-cut and bonded reinforcing materials provide a transportation container system suitable for shipping infections substances and other hazardous materials. The reinforcing materials permit fabrication of containers which protect the inner primary receptacles which are used to contain the transported materials.
