Abstract
The container frame (1) is constructed with three layers, the middle layer (3) having a smaller width than the inner and outer layers (2, 4). Insertion slots (5, 6) are thereby formed at the top and bottom of the container frame. A pallet (7) made of carton forming the bottom of the container comprises a base plate (8) and feet (9) made of layers of cardboard, glued to its underside. On the side of the base plate (8) lying opposite the feet (9) is glued a cardboard bottom element (10), whose edges (11) are bent upwards. The insertion slot (6) of the container frame is placed on the bent edge (11). A lid element (12) with bent over edges (13) can be placed in the upper insertion slot (5). All components of the container consist of cardboard or corrugated cardboard and glue and are suitable for recycling.
