Abstract
A package for insertion into a box to form a shipping container for hazardous material bottles, comprises a honeycomb insert having a plurality of side panels and a bottom panel, the side panels and bottom panel having channels formed therein, the insert dimensioned for placement within the box, honeycomb partition members, each member having two panels, each panel of each partition member dimensioned for insertion within a channel of a side panel and a channel of the bottom panel of the insert, the panels adjacent to each other forming a space dimensioned to receive a hazardous material bottle, and a top pad dimensioned for placement over the partition members. A shipping container comprises a box and such a package.
Claims19
A package for insertion into a box to form a shipping container for hazardous material bottles, comprising:
- a honeycomb insert having a plurality of side panels and a bottom panel, the side panels and bottom panel having channels formed therein, the insert dimensioned for placement within the box;
- and
- honeycomb partition members, each member having two panels, each panel of each partition member dimensioned for insertion within a channel of the channels of one of the side panels and a channel of the channels of the bottom panel of the insert, the panels adjacent to each other forming a space dimensioned to receive a hazardous material bottle;
- wherein the honeycomb insert includes fold zones between the bottom panel and each side panel, each fold zone including a compression of the bottom panel and the side panel in said fold zone so as to facilitate folding of each side panel relative to the bottom panel.
A shipping container comprising:
- a box;
- and
- a package dimensioned for insertion in said box, the package having:
- a honeycomb insert having a plurality of side panels and a bottom panel, the side panels and bottom panel having channels formed therein, the insert dimensioned for placement within the box;
- honeycomb partition members, each member having two panels, each panel of each partition member dimensioned for insertion within a channel of the channels of one of the side panels and a channel of the channels of the bottom panel of the insert, the panels adjacent to each other forming a space dimensioned to receive a hazardous material bottle;
- wherein the honeycomb insert includes fold zones between the bottom panel and each side panel, each fold zone including a compression of the bottom panel and the side panel in said fold zone so as to facilitate folding of each side panel relative to the bottom panel.
A honeycomb die cut panel crushed and cut to form:
- a honeycomb die cut insert having a plurality of side panels and a bottom panel, the side panels and bottom panel having channels formed therein, the insert dimensioned for placement within a box, and
- honeycomb partition members, each member having two panels, each panel of each partition member dimensioned for insertion within a channel of the channels of one of the side panels and a channel of the channels of the bottom panel of the insert, the panels adjacent to each other forming a space dimensioned to receive a hazardous material bottle;
- wherein the honeycomb insert includes fold zones between the bottom panel and each side panel, each fold zone including a compression of the bottom panel and the side panel in said fold zone so as to facilitate folding of each side panel relative to the bottom panel.
