ABSTRACT:
A mailing pack includes a bottom panel and first and second side flaps hingedly connected with first and second opposite edges of the bottom panel. First and second end flaps are hingedly connected with third and fourth opposite edges of the bottom panel. The first end flap extends in a first direction from the hinge edge thereof and the second end flap extends from the hinge edge thereof in an opposite direction. The bottom panel, first and second side flaps and first and second end flaps are constructed from a fluted material having flutes extending in a second direction. A securing tab arrangement secures the end flaps in substantially parallel covering relation to the side flaps and the bottom panel. The securing tab arrangement includes first and second slits in each side flap, first and second tabs hingedly connected with the first end flap for slidable engagement within the first slits of the side flaps, and third and fourth tabs hingedly connected with the second end flap for slidable engagement within the second slits of the side flaps. The tabs are cut-out from the end flaps at positions spaced inwardly from edges thereof, and extend substantially in the second direction of the flutes. The first and second tabs extend in a direction different from the first direction of the first end flap, and the third and fourth tabs extend in a direction different from the opposite direction of the second end flap.
