A shock absorbing apparatus for packaging a toner cartridge includes first shock absorbing members inserted onto both ends of the toner cartridge and having a groove at least partially in contact with lower and upper surfaces of the toner cartridge, a second shock absorbing member located under a center portion of the toner cartridge to support the center portion of the toner cartridge, and a box, in which the toner cartridge inserted into the first and second shock absorbing members is packaged. The shock absorbing apparatus is capable of reducing manufacturing costs since it is no longer necessary to use an expensive, specially designed package to transport individually packaged toner cartridges, minimizing leakage of the developing agent. Still further, the shock absorbing apparatus is capable of preventing the toner cartridge from being contaminated as a whole since the leaked developing agent can be absorbed by the protection pad and the protection sheet even when the developing agent leaks during its distribution. The toner cartridge is kept substantially clean during its distribution since the contaminated parts are wiped by the protection pad. |
