A foam packaging assembly for protecting an article includes one or more pads including at least one corner pad and at least one side pad disposed between the corner pads, a packaging container configured to receive the article or an inner box storing the article, and a configurator determining one or more dimensions of the container based on at least one input variable of the article or the inner box. The configurator further determines a number of the pads for placement inside the container such that the article with the pads is protected during storage or transport. Further, the foam packaging assembly includes at least one insert board configured for placement over the article inside the container, and the configurator determines one or more dimensions of the insert board when the insert board is selected to be disposed inside the container.

Molded foam articles are provided. The molded foam articles have at least one surface having at least a portion that has been skin-formed for forming a skin-formed living hinge for enabling a robust living hinge capable of hundreds of open/close cycles at angles of up to 270.

A protective product, such as, e.g., an envelope or pouch, is provided that includes at least one expanded slit paper sheet in an expanded state, and an embossed paper sheet facing the expanded slit paper sheet and fixed to the expanded slit paper sheet along at least a portion of a length in an expansion direction of the expanded slit sheet paper. In the preferred embodiments, the embossed paper sheet has a plurality of embossings that increase the rigidity of the embossed paper sheet, thereby inhibiting deformation of the embossed paper sheet that is fixed to the expanded slit sheet paper.

Disclosed are polymeric foamed compositions, foam padded materials that include such polymeric foamed compositions disposed on a sheet material, and packaging articles (e.g., envelopes) made from such foam padded materials. The polymeric foamed composition on the sheet material has a plurality of foamed structures formed from the foamable composition attached to the sheet material by a layer of the foamable composition, and the plurality foam structures each having a hollow core and a foam exterior shell.

A structural component includes at least one wall surrounding a component interior space. The structural component also includes a first cellular structure positioned within the component interior space. The first cellular structure includes a plurality of cells each having a twelve-cornered cross section including twelve sides and twelve corners creating nine internal angles and three external angles.

This disclosure generally describes a method, system, and device for constructing a packaging device and the package itself. The packaging device includes one or more insulative interlocking panels which are affixed to one or more corresponding panels of packaging material. The insulative interlocking panels may be assembled together into an insulative packaging device surrounded by packaging material.

A cellular structure may include a plurality of cells each having a twelve-cornered cross section. The twelve-cornered cross section may include twelve sides and twelve corners creating nine internal angles and three external angles. Each cell may include a plurality of longitudinal walls extending between a top and a bottom of the cell, the longitudinal walls intersecting to create corners of the cell. A structural component may include at least one wall surrounding a component interior space with a cellular structure having at least two cells positioned within the interior space. A sandwich structure may include first and second planar structures, and a cellular structure positioned between the first and second substantially planar structures.

A container having three pairs of parallel sides; wherein one pair of sides is formed from side panels that comprise a sheet of honeycomb polypropylene with a sheet formed from polypropylene joined to one side of the honeycomb; and at least one pair of sides is formed from elongate sections formed from expanded polypropylene.

The present disclosure providing a cushion pad includes at least one cushion unit including at least one die-cutting region, a length of the die-cutting region increased when the die-cutting region is unfolded; the die-cutting region is unfolded to form a buffer layer that causes the second surface to expand in a thickness direction of the second surface to play a buffering and protective role thereof; the die-cutting region is unfolded to form a three-dimensional network structure. The present disclosure also provides that a packaging bag with the cushion unit is of a plane structure after production; when the packaging bag is used after being transportation, an object is put into the packaging bag or applying a pushing force to the packaging bag so that the cushion unit is expanded to form the buffer layer, to protect the object inside the packaging bag.

A method for adhering polylactic acid-based (such as expandable polylactic acid resin (PLA) foam) custom product packaging to a surface is provided. The surface is heated to a suitable temperature and the PLA foam may be pressed against the surface for a second or seconds to rapidly adhere the PLA foam to the surface. The adhesion between the surface and the PLA foam may be sufficient to maintain the adhesion, but may also allow for the PLA foam to be removed from the surface.
