A unitary product cushioning device is provided for supporting a shock sensitive product in an outer packaging container, and is formed of a moldable resilient plastics material. The device comprises a post structure, with a first closed end and a second open end, with the open end having a curved ridge formed at at least a first side of the post structure, and terminating in a container contacting flange at the end of the curved ridge remote from the open end. A portion of the curved ridge presents a product supporting surface; and a further portion of the curved ridge is curved in a direction outwardly and away from the post structure. There may be a container contacting surface near the closed end of the post structure. When the unitary product cushioning device is placed in a container so that the post structure extends into a corner defined by at least two surfaces of the container, at least the container contacting flange will contact one of the at least two surfaces, and the product supporting surface will be parallel to that one of the at least two container surfaces. When a shock load is applied to the unitary product cushioning device in a direction towards the contacted container surface, the curve of the curved ridge will at least temporarily be further curved in a direction away from the post structure, and product supporting surface will at least temporarily move closer to the contacted container surface. |
