ABSTRACT:
Presented is an "air-pack" support and cushioning unit for use in confronting pairs in cooperative association with a shipping container or carton to support an article within the container in spaced and cushioned relation to the walls of the container. In one aspect, the "air-pack" unit includes a base member to one surface of which is sealingly attached a flexible sheet of synthetic resinous material to form, with the base member, a capsule having resilient and compressible side walls defining a void within which is contained a fluid at approximately atmospheric pressure and/or a comminuted quantity of a resilient and compressible substance that retains the capsule extended to form a resiliently and compressible portion which conforms to the configuration of the interior surfaces of the container and exterior surface portions of an article to be supported and protected from damage from impact within the container. Also presented is a simple method for fabricating the "air-pack" unit.
