ABSTRACT:
A packaging member comprises a base member and a pair of side members hingedly attached to opposite sides of the base member such that the side members can be alternatively and selectively disposed in two different positions with respect to the base member. In particular, the side members can be disposed perpendicular to the base member, or alternatively the side members can be disposed at predetermined angled positions with respect to the base member. When disposed perpendicularly to the base member, the packaging member has a substantially U-shaped configuration enabling the packaging member to serve as an edge protector, whereas when the side members are disposed at their angled positions with respect to the base member, the packaging member has a substantially trapezoidal configuration enabling stacking or nesting of the packaging member along with other similar packaging members so as to optimize storage, shipping, and handling or transportation costs.
