Abstract
A foldable container for storing and transporting rolled articles wound on a spool or a support tube, comprising a top cover, a bottom panel fixed to the bottom frame, front and rear partition panels, and left and right panels. The front and rear panels are each divided into upper and lower parts along division lines, and formed therein with support holes aligned with the division lines and opposed between the front and rear partition panels. The two halves of each of the support holes are covered at their inner peripheries with elastic protectors, and opposite end parts of the support tubes are received in the support holes so as to suspend the rolled articles between the partition panels. Thereby it is possible to surely store the rolled articles with less time and labor, and to reduce consumption of packing material to a minimum value with no damage thereto being caused even though primary packing is eliminated.
