Abstract

In a box system for storing bottles therein that includes a box, at least one longitudinal divider sheet and at least one latitudinal divider sheet. The divider sheets each consist of a non-corrugated absorbent high density wood pulpboard having a thickness in a range of between 1.0 mm to 3.0 mm and a basis weight in a range of between 410 gsm to 1240 gsm. The divider sheets are divided into a plurality of coaster units. Each coaster unit is printed with collateral branding indicia. The coaster units are separated by linear perforations to facilitate separation of the coaster units so that when the coaster units are separated they are usable as drink coasters.

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S)[0001]This application is a continuation-in-part of PCT / US19 / 65014, filed on Dec. 6, 2019, which claims the benefit of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 16 / 247,650, filed on Jan. 15, 2019 and U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62 / 776,136, filed Dec. 6, 2018, the entirety of each of which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to bottle packaging and, more specifically, to bottle packaging that is convertible into coasters.2. Description of the Related Art[0003]Most beverage bottles are transported in cardboard boxes that include cardboard or paperboard dividers placed in the boxes. The dividers define square prismatic volumes into which bottles are placed and provide impact absorption between the bottles during handling. Generally, the boxes and dividers are disposable.[0004]Disposable drink coasters, such as beer mats, have been used at bars ...
