ABSTRACT:
A shipping container for electronic components includes first and second container portions. The second container portion is designed for engagement by the first container portion either as a lid or in nested configuration to minimize the vertical height of the two container portions for empty shipping and storage. The first container portion includes grooved interior side walls and partitions engageable in the grooves to reduce the interior size of the first container portion according to the dictates of the component to be shipped. The interior partitions include layers of resilient foam material which form fit to surface features of the component being shipped. The exterior of the first container portion is grooved to provide handgrips, and one pair of opposed walls of the first container portion extends below the level of the container floor to provide feet for stacking multiple containers, to add shock-absorbing capacity to the container, and to provide a recess within which to engage a hand truck. The second, or upper, container portion includes a perimetral flange extending outward from the side wall to stop the projection of the second container portion into the first, both when the second container portion is serving as a lid (right-side up orientation), and when the container portions are assembled empty for shipping and storage (upside-down orientation).
