ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a shock absorbing component for packaging an article and for protecting the article during shipping. The component is foldable (preferably from a single sheet) for enclosing the article therein. The component comprises a first section for receiving a first surface of the article and a second section for receiving a second surface of the article. The first section having multiple nonlinear cuts or serrations such that upon placing the article between the first and second sections, the cuts allow the first section to deform and at least partially conform to the shape of the first surface of the article. The component may be disposed within and integrally formed with a shipping container having exterior protective walls. The component may further comprise spacer panels to separate the component from the exterior walls of the shipping container. Although the disclosed shipping container may have open ends, it desirably has ends completing the enclosure.
