ABSTRACT This invention relates to the packaging and shipping art, and more particularly relates to containers for packaging and shipping substantially flat frangible items, such as glass doors. Early attempts to package such Items Included a protective rigid container made of wood or stronger material. The frangible items were arranged tightly within wood boxes or crates having stuffed therein a very large amount of packing material. However, such packaging hides the nature of the items from view and also hides any damage to the items until the package is opened. Additionally, the dimensions of such containers cannot be varied. Even in the fibreboard containers, the dimensions of the ultimate container are preordained by the cuts and the creasing scheme. The present invention overcomes these problems of the prior art by providing a container formed of an elongated sheet of standard size corrugated paper and paperboard. Narrow, elongated strips of paperboard and corrugated paper are arranged along a portion of one side of the larger, elongated paperboard. The narrow strips are aligned in the elongated or longitudinal dimension of the larger paperboard sheet, and preferably perpendicu- larly to the alignment of the flutes of the larger sheet to form a sheet section. The long, narrow strips of paperboard are spaced and arranged parallel to each other to define grooves for receiving edges of frangible items for packaging and shipment. Rigid supports are positioned to run transversely from one side to the other of the large sheet.
