“Generally corrugated containers are manufactured in many sizes and shapes, are frequently printed to the customer’s specifications, and may have any of numerous special features such as waterproofing, ventilating holes, handholes, and so forth.... In spite of the fact that one purchaser’s cardboard box may not be suitable for another purchaser’s needs, when made to the same specifications the box of one manufacturer is virtually identical to that of another manufacturer.”
