ABSTRACT:
A shock absorbing container assembly for packaging articles, including an outer container, a sheet member, and an article container. In the closed configuration, the outer container includes an inner top surface and an opposed inner bottom surface that are substantially fixedly spaced apart in a vertical axis. The sheet member has a bottom surface and at least one preformed foldable portion that is folded away from the bottom surface terminating at a free distal edge. The free distal edge bears against the top surface of the outer container when receiving vertically directed forces transmitted by the top surface. The article container for receiving articles is disposed inside the outer container and includes a plurality of intersecting walls. Vertically directed forces transmitted by the sheet member are received by at least two of the walls that have upper ends bearing against the bottom surface of the sheet member and lower ends bearing against the bottom surface of the outer container. The walls, by intersecting with each other, support one another to maintain the walls upright so that the walls are enabled to support the vertically directed forces transmitted by the sheet member.
