Abstract
A container for shipping household appliances such as refrigerators, stoves, washers, dryers and the like comprises six separate pieces. The pieces include a top cap, a separate bottom support which may also be in the form of a cap and four separate corner posts which form the package the appliance is placed on or within the bottom support or cap. The four corner posts are then placed on the four corners of the appliance and the top cap is then placed over the appliance and the four corner posts. Two tensile straps are then fastened around the package. Each tensile strap passes around the top and bottom and along two of the corner posts. Optionally, where the package is of the BASILOID flange type a third strap may be passed horizontally around the top to provide the support for that flange. Optionally the package, with or without the BASILOID type flange may be over-wrapped with film or enclosed in a clear bag to provide a package which is open on all sides and through which the appliance contained within may be viewed during handling.
