ABSTRACT:
A die-cut and scored blank fabricated from corrugated paperboard or other type of stock material is erected into a cushion for covering an edge and at least one contiguous corner of a package such as a carton or crate. When positioned on the package, the cushion provides protection from binding straps used in palletizing and protects against damage due to impact during moving, handling and storing. The cushion also serves as a brace between packages when packages are vertically stacked. In one embodiment, a blank is provided which is foldable to form a cushion having three cushioning walls for protecting an edge and one contiguous corner of a package. Furthermore, a modified blank is provided which is foldable to form a cushion having four cushioning walls for protecting an edge and both contiguous corners. In both instances, the folded blank is self-locking, thereby remaining erected after folding to facilitate positioning the cushion on the package.
