A corrugated container for shipping containers, such as glass bottles, includes a shipping box, a liner, one or more cross-pieces, a top sheet and a bottom sheet. The liner, cross-pieces, top sheet and bottom sheet may be made of corrugated or hexacomb material to provide shock absorbing protection to the bottles received within the shipping box. The liner and cross-pieces do not extend the full height of the box to allow the corners of the box to crush or crumple in the event the container is dropped on one of its upper corners. A pair of staggered hand holes may be formed in the opposite sides of the box to enable ergonomic lifting of the container.

Having described the invention, we claim: 1. A shipping container, comprising: a box having a top wall, a bottom wall, a first pair of opposite side walls and a second pair of opposite side walls defining a cavity for receiving one or more articles placed therein; and a hand hole formed in each of the first pair of side walls, wherein each of the hand holes is staggered in opposite directions relative to a vertical midplane intersecting the first pair of side walls, and further wherein each of the hand holes at least partially overlaps the vertical midplane; wherein a distance between an edge of a hand hole that is most remote from the vertical midplane and a corresponding edge of its respective sidewall, where the respective sidewall intersects one of the second pair of side walls, is greater than a longitudinal length of the hand hole. 2. The shipping container of claim 1 further comprising at least one cross-piece having a top edge and a bottom edge disposed within the cavity of the box, the at least one cross-piece being configured to separate at least two articles placed into the cavity. 3. The shipping container of claim 2 further comprising a pair of cross-pieces each having a top edge and a bottom edge disposed within the cavity of the box and extending generally transverse to each other, the pair of cross-pieces being configured to separate four articles placed into the cavity. 4. The shipping container of claim 2 further comprising a liner having a first pair of opposite side walls and a second pair of opposite side walls disposed within the cavity of the box and having a top peripheral edge and a bottom peripheral edge. 5. The shipping container of claim 4 wherein the first pair of side walls of the liner generally abuts the first pair of side walls of the box and the second pair of side walls of the liner generally abuts the second pair of side walls of the box. 6. The shipping container of claim 4 further comprising a bottom sheet supported by the bottom wall of the box. 7. The shipping container of claim 6 wherein the liner is supported by the bottom sheet with the bottom peripheral edge of the liner generally abutting the bottom sheet. 8. The shipping container of claim 4 wherein the at least one cross-piece is supported by the bottom sheet with the bottom edge of the at least one cross-piece generally abutting the bottom sheet. 9. The shipping container of claim 4 further comprising a top sheet disposed within the cavity of the box and located above each of the hand holes. 10. The shipping container of claim 9 wherein the top sheet is spaced upwardly from the top edge of the at least one cross-piece and the top peripheral edge of the liner. 11. The shipping container of claim 1, wherein the box is formed from corrugated material. 12. The shipping container of claim 2, wherein the at least one cross-piece is formed from corrugated material. 13. The shipping container of claim 4, wherein the liner is formed from corrugated material. 14. The shipping container of claim 6, wherein the bottom sheet is formed from corrugated material. 15. The shipping container of claim 9, wherein the top sheet is formed from corrugated material. 16. A shipping container, comprising: a box having a top wall, a bottom wall, a first pair of opposite side walls and a second pair of opposite side walls defining a cavity for receiving one or more articles placed therein; a hand hole formed in each of the first pair of side walls; a bottom sheet supported by the bottom wall of the box; a liner having a first pair of opposite side walls and a second pair of opposite side walls disposed within the cavity of the box and having a top peripheral edge and a bottom peripheral edge, wherein the first pair of side walls of the liner generally abuts the first pair of side walls of the box and the second pair of side walls of the liner generally abuts the second pair of side walls of the box, and further wherein the liner is disposed within the cavity of the box with the liner supported by the bottom sheet with the bottom peripheral edge of the liner generally abutting the bottom sheet; at least one cross-piece having a top edge and a bottom edge disposed within the cavity of the box and being configured to separate at least two articles placed therein, wherein the at least one cross-piece is supported by the bottom sheet with the bottom edge of the at least one cross-piece generally abutting the bottom sheet; and a top sheet disposed within the cavity of the box and located above the hand holes, the top sheet contact contacting an upper portion of an article when the article is placed within the cavity with the top peripheral edge of the liner being spaced from the top sheet. 17. The shipping container of claim 16 wherein the top sheet is spaced upwardly from the top edge of the at least one cross-piece and the top peripheral edge of the liner.
