                                  ------------


Item 1.  Security and Issuer.
- -----------------------------

         This Amendment No. 11 to the Schedule 13D filed by the reporting person
relates to common shares, each without par value (the "Common Shares"), of
Liqui-Box Corporation, an Ohio corporation (the "Issuer"), the principal
executive offices of which are located at 6950 Worthington-Galena Road, P.O. Box
494, Worthington, Ohio 43085-0494. 

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
- ---------------------------------------------

(a) and (b) The aggregate number and percentage of Common Shares of the Issuer
            beneficially owned by the reporting person as of February 24, 1998,
            and the nature of such ownership is as follows:



                                 NATURE OF                          PERCENT
   COMMON SHARES            BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP                  OF CLASS (1)

           127,027 (3)     Sole Voting and Shared Dispositive            2.7%

         ------------                                                   ----
         1,553,359 (5)                                                  32.4%

- -------------

(1)      Based upon 4,725,773 Common Shares outstanding as of February 24, 1998
         and the number of Common Shares as to which the reporting person had
         the right to acquire beneficial ownership upon the exercise of options
         exercisable within 60 days of February 24, 1998.

(2)      Includes 72,777 Common Shares which are subject to options held by the
         reporting person which are exercisable within 60 days of February 24,
         1998. Supplemental Retirement Discounted Options become exercisable
         upon termination of the reporting person's employment (other than upon
         termination for cause); however, the Supplemental Retirement Discounted
         Options become fully exercisable upon an earlier change in control of
         the Issuer. For purposes of determining options which are presently
         exercisable, it is assumed that the reporting person will not terminate
         his employment with the Issuer during the next 60 days.


         Also includes 61,376 Common Shares held for the reporting person's
         account in the Liqui-Box Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan.

         Also includes 490,113 Common Shares of the Issuer held by the reporting
         person as Successor Trustee under the S.S. Davis Residual Trust.

(3)      Includes 127,027 Common Shares deposited with the reporting person in
         his capacity as voting trustee of a voting trust. The reporting person
         exercises sole voting power with respect to the Common Shares deposited
         in the voting trust; however, the person who deposited the Common
         Shares in the voting trust retained investment power, subject to a
         right of first refusal in the reporting person, and the right to
         receive dividends thereon. The voting trust expires on September 29,
         2003.

(4)      Includes 1,689 Common Shares held by the Estate of Jeanette A. Davis,
         as to which the reporting person exercises shared voting and
         investment power as co-executor with one of his sisters.

         reporting person has sole voting and investment power.

         (c)   Transactions by reporting person:
               --------------------------------

               Other than the transactions reported in the following table, the
               reporting person has not effected any transactions in the Common 
               Shares of the Company during the period from December 1, 1997 to
               February 24, 1998:

         (d)   See Footnotes (3) and (4) to table included under Items 5(a) and

Item 6.  Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect
         ---------------------------------------------------------------------
         to Securities of the Issuer.
         ----------------------------

               There are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or 
         relationships (legal or otherwise) not disclosed in Item 5 between the 
         reporting person and any other person with respect to any securities of
         the Issuer, except that the trustee of the Liqui-Box Corporation 
         Employee Stock Ownership Plan may vote the 61,376 Common Shares held in
         the account of the reporting person in its discretion if he does not
         exercise his power to direct the trustee how to vote and the trustees
         of the Liqui-Box Corporation Employees' Profit Sharing and Salary
         Deferral Plan (the "Liqui-Box 401(k) Plan") exercise shared voting and
         investment power with respect to the Common Shares held in the
         reporting person's account in the Liqui-Box 401(k) Plan, as to which
         Common Shares the reporting person has no voting or investment power.
