Memory Foam Pillow Packaging Having A Hexagonal Prism Structure

摘要

A bedding article is compressed and rolled by hand from one side edge to form a rolled bedding article. The resulting rolled bedding article has a shape that approximates that of a rectangular prism. The bedding article may, for example, be a pillow or a memory foam pillow. The rolled bedding article is then fitted into a hexagonal prism container such that little void space is left inside the container. In one example, the container is a cardboard box structure having a hexagonal cross section, a depth, and a side length that is smaller than the depth. The container has two base panels and six side panels. Retail stores that sell rolled memory foam pillows packaged in the container will reduce the amount of wasted shelf space. During shipment, the novel container provides for more pillows to be stored and shipped within a shipping container.
