be separated by a sheet of solid or corrugated fiberboard and corners of each pack should be protected by means of
scored fiberboard sheet, extending the height of the pack and a minimum of 1½ inches along each face (see figure 4,
protector and separator sheet data). The top and bottom of each unit pack should be provided with fiberboard caps

fitting fiberboard boxes conforming to ASTM D5118/D5118M style RSC/0201 or FOL/0203. The fiberboard
should be weather-resistant (WR), V3s or V3c, of ASTM D4727/D4727M. Bricks should be separated from each
other by fiberboard sheets conforming to W5c or W5s of ASTM D4727/D4727M. Style RSC/0201 boxes, when
used, should also have top and bottom pads of fiberboard of the same material as the separate sheets. Boxes should
be closed in accordance with ASTM D1974/D1974M methods 2B2 or 4B5 as applicable. Boxes should be
reinforced with a minimum of 2½-inch wide pressure-sensitive filament tapes applied girthwise on the container.

cushion pads in such a manner so as to provide support to the box cover and prevent movement of the contained
brick(s). Small special shapes may be wrapped with cushioning media; however, this wrapping will not eliminate
the requirements for liners and partitions. Boxes should be closed in accordance with ASTM D1974/D1974M
methods 2B2 or 4B5 as applicable, and reinforced with two girthwise ½-inch wide filament tapes. The gross weight
of boxes, including contents, should not exceed 50 pounds except when the individual brick or tile exceeds
