ABSTRACT:
A lens box for safe storage and transportation of optical lens blanks having vertically spaced apart top and bottom panels; two side walls, opposite closure panels and a plurality of gussets therebetween, all connected to the top and bottom panels and defining an enclosure space therebetween. The gussets are inclined upwardly and inwardly from the bottom panel, tangentially contacting the lens blank restricting the vertical and horizontal movement of the lens blank.
The invention also includes a method of packaging an optical lens blank for secure and safe storage, including, providing a lens box having at least inclined side gussets; inserting the lens blank in the box causing the lens blank side wall to contact and frictionally engage the gussets thereby restricting vertical and horizontal movement of the lens blank in the box; and closing the box.
