Spanish term or phrase: octavín
General context: packing materials, specifically boxes. "En el estudio y fabricación de cajas-contenedores con y sin palet, diseño especial de palets, cajas mixtas de cartón y madera, octavines, troquelados y formatos especiales y cajas según normas AFCO."

From the illustration in the original I suspect they're talking about an octagonal corrugated board box. Can anyone confirm or correct?
