Abstract: A carton for use in shipping circuit boards. The carton has a pair of side members separated by top and bottom members configured to surround a circuit board with a closed end opposite an open end for receiving the circuit board. The closed end consists of three panels with one panel positioned perpendicular to the side members and a middle panel inserted into the carton cavity parallel to one side member with the remaining panel formed at an acute angle with respect to the middle panel inside the carton cavity to engage and position a circuit board within the carton to prevent movement thereof. A segment formed at the open end across the top member to extend partially down each side member is formed such that one side section rotates with respect to a side member so that a top section may be positioned parallel to the side member with the other side section positioned across the open end to retain the circuit board within the carton.

Abstract: A circuit board container assembly includes a box (10) with internal side wall slots (16 and 17) for receiving dividers (21 and 22) in which are formed vertical slots (28, 29, 31 and 32) and into which are placed printed circuit boards (11). Thee dividers are color coded to indicate discrete offset positionings of edge tabs (23, 24, 26 and 27) on the respective dividers. The offset positioning of the edges permits the selection of dividers which are mounted in the wall slots to provide spacings of the bottoms of the divider slots at distances closely proximating the width of the circuit boards placed in the slots so that the boards are snugly held during transport of the box.
