Abstract: A glass sheet, and a shipping case for the sheet are disclosed. The shipping case comprises two paperboard sheets with central portions which are substantially coextensive with and on opposite sides of the major surfaces of the sheet, and pairs of opposed, substantially coextensive flaps which surround the central portions. An adhesive prevents movement of the opposed flaps relative to one another and of the sheet within the case. In a preferred embodiment the flaps of one of the pairs are integral with one another and are disposed on opposite sides of a fold line. In another preferred embodiment, the shipping case additionally includes at least one flap which is structurally integral with one of the paperboard sheets along an edge thereof, and is folded around a peripheral edge of the article and adhered to the exterior surface of the central portion of the other sheet.

Abstract: An article of sheet form and a shipping case for the article are disclosed. The shipping case comprises two paperboard sheets which are so shaped that they are first and second polygonyl sheet members with opposed major surfaces and n edges. The sheet members have central portions which are substantially coextensive with the major surfaces of the article, while the n edges surround the central portions of the major surfaces. There are at least three pairs of opposed, substantially coextensive flaps, each of which extends outwardly beyond the central portions of the members to an edge . Each of the flaps is integral with the central portion of one of the members, which are positioned so that one is on each side of the article and the article is sandwiched between the central portions of the members. There is a body of an adhesive disposed between facing surfaces of the flaps of each of the pairs.
