ABSTRACT:
Packaging method and apparatus for positively nesting a plurality of individual pieces or articles in a nesting media for containerizing or storage. This nesting media comprises a base member of permanently deformable material such as cellular polystyrene. The individual pieces to be nested are initially placed on the upper surface of the base member in a desired oriented position relative to each other. Thereafter, the base and pieces are conveniently moved along a work path which includes a movable force member disposed thereabove over a portion thereof. As the base member is moved beneath the force member, the force member is moved toward the work path and base member a distance sufficient to engage the pieces or articles and force them at least partially into the base, thus creating the nested relationship between them. The force member is then moved away from the work path and base member in preparation for receiving another base member with pieces or articles positioned therein. If desired, the base member may be placed in an opened top container, packaging tray or other convenient packaging means prior to the nesting operation.
