ABSTRACT:
A packaging arrangement for housing a plurality of U-shaped fluorescent lamps in a corrugated container is provided having a plurality of first and second corrugated inserts each having a plurality of aligned, spaced slots extending inward a predetermined distance from a first edge of each thereof. The inserts are mounted on one another by sliding one insert in the slots of the other, the slots being aligned and the inserts being positioned orthogonally with respect to each other and as assembled extending between the four sides of the container. The firt and second inserts when so mounted form a plurality of rectangular compartments therein which conform generally with and are adapted to house U-shaped fluorescent bulbs therein. The first insert includes a plurality of tabs spaced between its slots having a plurality of score lines along a lower extremity thereof which are shaped such that when bent along the score lines are adapted to receive and retain the legs of the U-shaped fluorescent lamp in the rectangular compartments. The outer extremities of the inserts overlap on opposite sides of the container and the assembled inserts. Crease pads are provided at the top and bottom of the container separating the assembled inserts therefrom which are adapted to space the lamps mounted in the container from the top and bottom and to absorb shock initiating from the top and bottom of the container. For shorter lamps, a double layer of inserts separated by a crease pad may be provided in the packaging arrangement for doubling the number of lamps which may be housed therein.
