ABSTRACT:
An elongated tray designed to support a plurality of tubular objects such as fluorescent tubes when positioned in an outer package. The tray is formed with a plurality of cavities which have a plurality of tubular supporting surfaces contained therein. Each supporting surface is formed in a generally sinusoidal shape having a series of reversing curved configurations forming peaks and valleys. Each peak and valley contains approximate equal thickness material from the resilient type plastic used. As a result, controlled deformation with a controlled resilient return is obtained in the peaks and valleys to thereby result in a vastly superior tray which has improved resistance to breakage of the fluorescent tubes. The resilient plastic may be an HDPE or PP having a density ranging between 0.898-0.965 grams per cubic centimeter.
