ABSTRACT:
A shipping container for computer peripherals such as disk drives or other payloads is provided in which a bottom cap (21a) and apertured block (23a), both of resilient foam material, are partially adhesively bonded (as to 27, 28) and inserted separately or as a unit into a closed end of an outer box (10). The payload, contained in an inner box (30,50), is inserted into an aperture (25) in the block (23a). A second spaced apertured block (23b) and partially bonded top cap (21b) are inserted into the top of the box (10) separately or as a unit with the aperture (25) in block (23b) holding the top (31) of inner box (30, 50) in suspended position. The box (10) flaps are then closed over the top of block (21b). Slits (40) are provided at the corners of the apertures in the blocks to prevent tearing due to repeated shocks to the package.
