Abstract
A container for packaging a welding wire on a spool includes a box with opposed first and second face panels that are separated by four vertical side walls. At least one aperture on the four vertical side walls is defined by a frangible connection so that the interior of the box is initially inaccessible. At least one corner blocking insert includes an outer profile that corresponds to the spool of welding wire located within said box. After said frangible connection of the aperture is breached, the corner blocking is inserted into the interior of the box via said aperture and engages at least one of an outer perimeter rim of said spool containing a coil of welding wire, or an outer perimeter of the coil of welding wire. In various examples, the corner blocking insert is an expanding foam package, or a folded cardboard insert.
