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 is provided on one of the first and second face panels located at one of the four vertically extending corners. Each aperture is defined by a frangible connection on one of the first and second face panels so that an interior of the box is initially inaccessible. At least one corner reinforcing element is provided that penetrates into the interior of the box via the aperture at one vertically extending corner after said frangible connection of the aperture is breached. The at least one corner reinforcing element engages the spool and forms a vertical support located at the vertically extending corner and between the first and second face panels.
