ABSTRACT:
An environmentally sensible package for delicate items comprises a base and a cover. The package is enclosed by a container such as a corrugated box for shipping. The base of the preferred embodiment comprises a central component cavity suspended by a perimeter portion comprising a cover interlock, a flexible surface, a sloped wall and four independent flanges. The perimeter portion provides necessary vertical and lateral flexibility to the component cavity and provides the vertical clearance required for displacement of the component cavity. The independent flanges reduce transmitted shock to the component cavity by flexing upon impact without transmitting the shock to adjacent flanges through the corner portion.
The package is made of a rigid plastic such as PVC to reduce bulk and make recycling more economical compared to expanded foam packaging. The use of a clear material allows viewing of the protected component when enclosed by the package.
