The disclosure is directed to a shipping container or package that is particularly adapted for enclosing and protecting a plurality of individual articles, preferably plastic bottles or the like. The generic concept contemplates providing a base or tray member having its support surface coated with a pressure sensitive adhesive. An array of bottles is placed on the tray so that their bodies are in contacting relationship in the area of their greatest cross-sectional dimension. The bottles are immobilized at their bases by adherence to the adhesive coating on the tray support surface. The upper ends of the bottles are immobilized for lateral movement by the provision of suitable means, such as an immobilizing spacer, sheet member or the like, which retains the upper portion of the bottles in their proper relative relationship with respect to the tray member. An essentially U-shaped cover member is placed over the tray member and bottles such that its ends are supported by the tray member whereupon a shrinkable plastic film is fitted over the entire assemblage and thereafter shrunk to hold the several elements of the combination in rigid assembled relationship. |
