ABSTRACT:
Freight costs are escalating as a result of oil prices with no end in sight. The ability to transport twice as many boxes per trip and not suffer disassembly damages will be a great innovation, also the reduced consumption of fossil fuels; air pollution and land fill due to broken boxes. Inventory space is at a premium as land costs and taxes escalate, being able to inventory twice as many boxes in the same space will provide distributors with more available product increasing sales and profit. Because of the space saved, distributors will be able to purchase in truckload quantities taking advantage vendor paid freight and increased toackload discounts. Lugs over the mouse holes provide a new ease of removal from stacked units. Lugs provide a very small area of contact between stacked boxes eliminating friction caused by overlapping exterior boxes that are in total contact with the interior box. Lugs provide just the right amount of stability for stacking and shipping but allowing easy disassembly at job site.
