Abstract
A packing container for enclosing heavy durable goods for storage and shipping having a base frame for supporting an article to be packaged. A pair of opposing wing-end panels are received at opposing ends of the base frame with each wing-end panel comprising a sheet of corrugated paperboard scored to define an end panel separating two side wing panels. A cleat attaches at each side edge and at the scores on each sheet. The side panels fold as wings to cover portions of the opposing sides of the container while leaving a gap on each side between the side edges of the two opposing side wing-end panels. A top frame is received by the pair of opposing wing-end panels. A method of packaging goods in a container is disclosed.
