A shipping tray for a bench system and method of use are provided. The shipping tray may include a front support, rear support, first side support, and second side support. The shipping tray may further include a first front holder, a second front holder, a third front holder, a first rear holder, a second rear holder, and a third rear holder, all configured to receive one of a plurality of legs of a bench. The shipping tray may further include a central brace, a first X-brace, and a second X-brace. There may be a network of ribbing on the underside of the shipping tray. The shipping tray may be used for stacking a bench, or multiple benches, onto the shipping tray. The shipping tray may also be stacked on top of another shipping tray.

The present disclosure provides low volume, highly adjustable packaging that reduces surface area by 25% and overall material by 60% compared with standard boxes. In some embodiments, the presence of a telescoping sleeve, that is slightly wider than and slides over a mating sleeve, allows the length of the packaging to be adjusted. These volume and length reductions save approximately two-thirds of shipping costs. Further, in some embodiments, strategically placed scoring allows the packaging to flex and contour to the shape of a three-dimensional object to be placed in the packaging. In addition, reinforced corners protect contents of the package, and, in some embodiments, portions of the packaging are designed to be repurposed as artwork.

A method of forming a packaging brace for a washing machine appliance includes providing a flat blank. The method also includes folding a left side panel and a right side panel of the flat blank inwards towards each other. The method further includes positioning a bottom panel of the blank above an opening in a cabinet of the washing machine and inserting the bottom panel into a basket of the washing machine through the opening whereby a contoured profile of the opening urges the blank to fold and form a packaging brace for the washing machine appliance.

The disclosure relates to a packaging arrangement for storage and transport of electrically adjustable beds of a modular bed system which can be dismantled into individual components, the bed system being configured to form one or more different bed types which are different in terms of width and/or length. The beds are beds of a family of beds, comprise at least an upper leg sector, a lower leg sector, a seat sector and a torso sector, and have a plurality of bed plates for carrying a mattress. The packaging arrangement is suitable for accommodating a quantity of components of a single bed of each bed type of the bed system and the quantity of the components comprises at least the plurality of bed plates, at least one cross member and at least two longitudinal members. A width B of the packaging arrangement corresponds substantially to the width of a bed plate of a bed type, a length L of the packaging arrangement corresponds substantially to the length of one or the sum of the lengths of two bed plates of a bed type, and a base area of the packaging arrangement is substantially identical for all bed types of the bed system. A height H of the packaging arrangement is given by: H≤/2, where G is a limit for length plus girth of the packaging arrangement.
