A relatively flat corrugated board container is fitted at each of its ends with hanger holding bars so that a number of garments, each disposed on a hanger, may be layed flat in the container with their respective hangers in alternate fashion toward each of opposite ends of the container to thus maximize the number of garments that may be placed in a container of a given size. Each hanger holding bar is fabricated from suitable metal in a modified "C" configuration and is secured in place at its respective container end by placing the flanges, which form the ends of the "C," into a channel formed behind a rib embossed into a metal retaining plate that is, in turn, secured in place at the container end by a pair of securing panels also formed of corrugated board. Each hanger bar is disposed so as to be able to slide up so that its upper "C" flange can be pulled away from the retaining plate rib, to enable the hangers to be hooked behind the hanger bar. The hanger bar is then slid back down, after all hangers are in position, to again have its upper "C" flange hooked behind the retaining plate rib to securely lock the hangers in place.
