Disclosed herein is a shipping carton including an internal support structure having a support member for supporting an article, such as an outboard marine motor, in a suspended shipping position and external telltale damage indicating means for indicating movement of the article relative to the carton from the shipping position. The indicating means includes a flexible element having one end connected to the article or to the support member and a free end including a slidably mounted position-indicating portion which, when the article is in the shipping position, extends a predetermined distance exteriorly of the carton and which, in response to movement of the article from the shipping position, is pulled inwardly towards the interior of the carton to thereby indicate the amount of movement of the article from the shipping position.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION What is claimed is: 1.
A closable shipping carton for an article comprising side walls and an end wall defining an interior compartment for receiving the article, a support member disposed inside said carton and adapted to support the article in a shipping position spaced from at least one of said walls, and non-supporting telltale damage indicating means connected to the article or to said support member and movable therewith for indicating movement of the article relative to said carton from the shipping position, said indicating means including a visible position-indicating portion which, when the article is in the shipping position, extends a predetermined distance exteriorly of said carton in slidable relationship thereto and which, in response to movement of the article from the shipping position after said carton is closed, is pulled inwardly toward said compartment to thereby indicate the amount of movement of the article from the shipping position.
2.
A shipping carton according to claim 1 wherein said position-indicating portion of said indicating means extends exteriorly of said carton at a distance generally corresponding to a predetermined amount of movement of the article from the shipping position which could cause damage to the article such that, in the event the article moves from the shipping position said predetermined amount, said position-indicating portion is no longer visible from the exterior of said carton, thereby indicating potential damage to the article.
3.
A shipping carton according to claim 1 wherein said side walls have an upper edge, said carton includes a cover adapted to fit over said side wall upper edges and close said compartment, and a part of said indicating means slidably extends between said cover and one of said upper edges and includes said position-indicating portion.
4.
A shipping carton according to claim 3 wherein said indicating means includes a flexible, elongated element having one end connected to the article or to said support member and wherein said part comprises a free end which is draped over a said side wall upper edge and is slidably disposed between said edge and said cover and which includes said position-indicating portion
