ABSTRACT:
An end cap packaging component having a first pair of generally rectangular elements appropriately disposed at two sides thereof and a second pair of generally rectangular elements appropriately disposed at the remaining two sides thereof. The first and second pairs of elements are interconnected at their peripheries to form an interior element directly coupled to the first and second pairs of elements. All of such elements are inflatable and deflatable using an appropriately postioned valve. Each of the elements has one or more non-inflatable regions therein and further non-inflatable regions are located where the interior element is coupled to the first and second pairs of elements. When inflated, the component can be folded to form an end cap shaped configuration which encloses the end portion of a product for providing a firm and snug fit thereon which then acts as a retaining cushion therefor the product is then placed in a shipping container.
