Abstract

Abstract A corrugated fibreboard shipping box for packing a stack of sheet material stacked into a flat rectangular shape having a certain thickness is made of a single box blank. The box blank is comprised of a rectangular bottom section (1), a a pair of rectangular side sections (3A,3B) connected to the opposite sides of the bottom section (1), a pair of top half sections (2A,2B) connected to the sides of the side sections (3A,3B), and flaps (4,6,5A,7A,5B,7B) connected to the opposite ends of the bottom section (1), side section (3A,3B) and top half sections (2A,2B). The flaps (4,6,5A,7A,5B,7B) are provided with parallel folding lines at which the flaps are folded inside to form folded end portions (4P,5P,6P,7P). The folded end portions close the open ends of the box. The corrugated fibreboard shipping box packs and protect the stack of sheet materials without pads.
