ABSTRACT:
Lightweight, non-nestable packing peanuts formed of recycled newspaper of molded hollow thin wall shell form preferably of cup shaped configuration have flanges, apertures, and double wall dividers integrally molded therein. A radial flute over the vertical height of the exterior wall of the shell provides shape stability to a portion of the shell to resist physical crushing of the shell and facilitates the structural cushioning of packed fragile objects in cartons or the like for shipping purposes. The shell is rendered resilient over other portions for absorbing the energy resulting from impact forces transmitted through the fold filled towards a packed fragile object. A divider having spaced parallel walls may extend from an end of the shell at the base and include an integral transverse wall to separate the shell into two halves which may be flexed towards and away from each other, at the gap between the divider walls.
