ABSTRACT:
A container package for shipping and storing handling-sensitive items. The container package is constructed of clear flexible plastic sheet material and includes a matingly engageable pair of top and bottom half container half portions. Each container half portion includes a plurality of reversible snap domes disposed along the outer surfaces thereof which are movable between a first convex outward position and a second concave inward position upon depression. When depressed into the container package, the snap domes engage underlying portions of an enclosed article or occupy vacant space and thereby restrain the enclosed article from movement in the vertical and lateral directions. In one embodiment, the container half portions are formed as support tray members connected together in clam shell fashion for containing a printed circuit board. The plastic material is provided with additional electrostatic dissipation protection in accordance with known techniques. The snap domes may be arranged uniformly on both tray surfaces or in any random fashion as desired. An alternate embodiment includes provision of a compound snap dome wherein a second smaller snap dome is concentrically-mounted to a larger base snap dome. In another embodiment, the container package is formed as a box and includes snap domes formed in both vertical and horizontal side surfaces.
