Benefits of technology

0023] An advantage of the present invention is that its use protects products or parcels during shipping.
0024] Specifically intended for paper used in copiers, fax machines and computer printers, use of the present invention incorporating reinforced corners protects edges and corners from impact damage, thereby preserving the contents.
0025] The advantages and features of the present invention will become better understood with reference to the following more detailed description and claims taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which like elements are identified with like symbols, and in which:
0026] FIG. 1 is a perspective view of an improved packaging box with reinforced corners according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention;
0027] FIG. 2a is a top plan view of a corner according to a first configuration therein; and
0028] FIG. 2b is a top plan view of a corner according to a second configuration therein.

Problems solved by technology

Those of us who work in an office environment find nothing more aggravating than having to refill the copy machine when it runs out of paper, with the possible exception of finding the refill paper box damaged by rough handling.
While this is a problem with boxes that store copy paper, it is a problem with all shipping boxes that are subject to damage on the corners or edges of the box.
