Abstract: A cremation container may comprise a cover and a base. The base may comprise a corrugated fiberboard portion and a frame. The corrugated fiberboard portion may encase the frame and may form a bottom of the base. Consequently, the base may be provided with a combined structural strength of both the frame and corrugated fiberboard portion.

Abstract: A container (21) for storing and shipping produce is reinforced with at least one cross beam (20) extending across the bottom wall (26) of the container to form a bridge under loose product placed in the container to support at least a portion of the weight of the product and prevent sagging of the container bottom. The cross beam is positioned and held in place by engaging the ends of the cross beam in recesses (71) formed by crushed areas (82) on an inner surface of opposing side walls, or cut-outs (93) in the side walls, and/or by flaps (42, 43) folded upwardly from the container bottom wall and to which the cross beam is attached.

Abstract: A reinforced bulk materials container having a first wall-forming blank scored to provide main panels foldably joined together at a plurality of corners with each main panel having a foldably joined bottom flap. A wear reducing member attaches along the score for the bottom flaps and overlaps lateral portions of the flaps and the panels. A second wall-forming blank of corrugated paperboard defining panels laminates to the first wall-forming blank and includes members fixedly attached about a perimeter of each panel and a filler pad within the perimeter defined by the members. The wear reducing member resists the bottom edges of the container from wearing through caused movement of the container on rough surfaces.

Abstract: A transportation container comprising a plywood mount panel, a metal pipe leg disposed under the mount panel, vertical-panel support members each mounted on the upper face of the mount panel and disposed along the sides of the mount panel, solid hardboard vertical panels each having a lower edge mounted onto a mounting face in the outer side face of the vertical-panel support member by means of nailing; a metal pipe beam disposed along the upper side of the inner face of the vertical panel; a substantially rectangular, solid hardboard top panel supportedly positioned on the upper end face of the beam; and a metal pipe column disposed on the inside of butt corners formed by adjacent vertical panels to extend vertically.

Abstract: A container for leaf product and other bulk pack materials wherein a blank of corrugated paperboard is scored to define side walls of the container, and a field of passageways are defined in at least one side wall of the container by a conical pin punch-pressed from opposing sides of the blank to define a passageway for communication of moisture from the container to the atmosphere for drying and long term storage of the leaf products. A method of defining passageways in the blank of paperboard is disclosed.

Abstract: A packing container for enclosing heavy durable goods for storage and shipping having a base frame for supporting an article to be packaged. A pair of opposing wing-end panels are received at opposing ends of the base frame with each wing-end panel comprising a sheet of corrugated paperboard scored to define an end panel separating two side wing panels. A cleat attaches at each side edge and at the scores on each sheet. The side panels fold as wings to cover portions of the opposing sides of the container while leaving a gap on each side between the side edges of the two opposing side wing-end panels. A top frame is received by the pair of opposing wing-end panels. A method of packaging goods in a container is disclosed.
