Abstract
In containers for packaging articles such as chairs there has been a problem of the container bulging under compression. These containers have a body portion and a neck portion above the body of the container. The present invention uses a two-piece construction to form the container. The first piece is a front section which has a front wall and two generally L-shaped side walls with closure flaps attached to these walls. Each of the side walls has a neck portion adjacent the rear edge of the wall. The second piece is a back section which has a back panel attached to the side walls along the rear edges by securing flaps; a neck top panel covering the top of the neck portion and secured to the side walls by securing flaps; a neck front panel covering the front of the neck portion and secured to the side walls by securing flaps; and a front securing flap secured to the closure flaps. Bottom flaps are attached to the front and side walls and back panel and bottom tabs are attached to the back panel securing flaps.
