A utility and protective packaging system ( 10 ) is provided for containing and protecting electronic component objects ( 14 ) such as digital video recorders during storage and shipping. The system ( 10 ) is originally constructed in a planar sheet ( 16 ) form which is then folded into a tray ( 12 ). The tray ( 12 ) is configured as a squat "I" shape with the object ( 14 ) contained within the stem. The tray ( 12 ) includes a pair of side flaps ( 36 ) which are folded into side rectangular tubes ( 44 ) to provide cushioning and lateral impact protection to the object ( 14 ). A pair of end flaps ( 38 ) enclose the object and are provided with access ports ( 30 ) permitting operation and programming of the component when it is contained within the tray ( 12 ).
