ABSTRACT:
A molded, one-piece stackable package for fragile articles, such as circuline fluorescent light bulbs with bulb-shaped adapters and attached fittings, has a bottom tray and a top cover mutually hinged together respectively at one side wall. The tray interior has a center support defining an annular trough between the tray side walls and the support in which the circuline bulb will nest without substantial lateral movement. The center support also defines a cavity contoured and tapered to partially receive a light-bulb shaped article. Corner posts and a center foot extend from the outer surface of the bottom of the tray to support the tray. The cover has a second center support with a second socket compartment to receive the other portion of the light-bulb shaped article when the package is in a closed position. The cover also has upstanding arcuate projections adjacent the second center support that contact the circuline bulb to preclude substantial vertical movement of that bulb when the package is in a closed position. Corner posts and a center post extend from the outer surface of the top of the cover to support the cover.
