You betcha! It was strange though, when loading in Glasgow it was only the wooden cases that got broken against the hatch coamings - that way the whisky didn't taste of cardboard when it was strained into the tea cans.
The cardboard cases of mickeys were another thing though - box cutters made a nice slash along one side of the top, the case was turned 90 degrees, another slash, no - the case was best stowed in it's original place with another quick slash making a lovely three sided lid which could be accessed from time to time until hidden in the stow.
