ABSTRACT:
A packaging container for protection of fragile articles during shipping and storage, and a method of packaging thereof, utilizes a space minimizing outer carton and a plurality of innerpacking support panels selectively attached to the contained article by means of a heat shrinkable overwrap or film. Two types of support panels are selectively employed including a first plurality of cushioning pads having a spaced top, bottom, and side wall structure which creates an air space therebetween, and a second plurality of separator panels for insertion adjacent non-fragile or separable components of the contained article.
The effective horizontal dimensions of the support panels exceed the largest horizontal diameter of the article being packaged, and is further substantially equal to the effective inner dimensions of the outer carton. Thus the wrapped article and the component thereof are held against movement within the carton; the carton itself is reinforced.
