ABSTRACT:
A durable, reuseable shipping cover for recycleable, modular customer replaceable units (CRU) of an electrophotographic printing machine. The cover is made of a durable material and, having a hinge formed integrally into the cover, wraps around a CRU in a clamshell like manner and is attached by recloseable tabs. Lugs molded into the cover interfit with voids in the CRU to assure proper alignment thereto. The cover has protective ribs molded into it to protect the CRU, particularly the photosensitive drum of a xerographic module, and give the cover structural strength. The cover is easily attached to the CRU and contains instructions for its use. The cover can also be easily reattached to a CRU that is being returned to a manufacturer for refurbishing to protect the reuseable portions thereof. When received by the manufacturer, the cover is removed, washed and reused to ship new or refurbished CRU's.
