ABSTRACT:
A corner post construction for containers, such as boxes and cartons, which may be fabricated from materials such as corrugated paperboard material. The corner post construction is provided by fabricating a substantially planar sheet of material, having a longitudinal axis, and bending the sheet of material along a fold line which is substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis, so that there are two corner post wings formed, with an included angle formed between them. A corner post reinforcing and retaining material is disposed along the fold line which maintains the corner post wings in substantially fixed angular relation to one another. Corner posts constructed according to the present invention can be affixed to the outside of a unit comprising one or more containers, or merely positioned within an enclosing container, to provide longitudinal support for increased stacking strength, and for enhanced resistance to vertical and lateral crushing at the corners of the container.
