Suspension packaging system

摘要

A suspension packaging system can include a retention member (10) having at least one pocket (14,16) and a relatively more rigid member (40) configured to be inserted into the pocket (14,16) and folded into a state in which a tension in the retention member (10) is increased. The more rigid member (40) can be in the form of a tray and can include protrusions (60) over which the pocket (14,16) is placed. The protrusions (60) can then be moved into engagement with apertures (62) thereby engaging the resilient member (10) between the protrusion (60) and the aperture (62). Additionally, flaps (146B,146D) of a box can be inserted into pockets (14,16) of a resilient member (10) and rotated so as to generate attention in the retention member (10) so as to provide further cushioning of an article (70) to be packaged therein.
