A packaging case comprises a case body including a bottom plate and a peripheral wall surrounding the bottom plate; and a holding member including a contact region and a coupling part, the contact region having a contact surface to be in contact with an article to be housed from above the article to be housed, in case that the article to be housed is provided on a surface of the bottom plate inside the case body, and the coupling part being directly or indirectly connectable to the bottom plate and/or the peripheral wall.

The present apparatus and system relate to a structure for housing and containing products together and protecting products within a container from agitation and blunt force trauma. A resilient plug is adapted to fit within a container and contact a product housed within the container. When the container exhibits forces from movement, the plug dampens the impact of the movement by steadying the product within the container. Multiple containers may be mixed and matched and held together with a bundler that allows for easy insertion of the containers into the bundler but more difficult removal from the bundler.

An inflatable protective packaging unit and associated inflation systems are disclosed. The unit can include an inflatable component that includes overlaid flexible plies connected to each other to define a fluid chamber therebetween. The inflatable component can define an inflation region in fluid communication with the fluid chamber to allow fluid from the inflation region into the fluid chamber. The unit can further include a receiver separably attached to the inflatable component at the inflation region and configured to direct fluid into the inflation region. The inflation system can be configured to discretely engage the inflatable protective packaging unit and provide fluid for inflation. Once inflated, the system may eject the unit, and cause the inflatable component to separate from the receiver.

Disclosed is a method for inflating packaging airbags. The method for inflating the airbags include the steps of coupling an inflation port of the airbag to a nozzle of the inflation system, wherein a collar of the airbag adjacent to the inflation port lies between the cushions of the inflation system, the cushions are a part of pair of clamps. Thereafter the inflation system can be turned on resulting in clasping of the collar by the pair of clamps. The air compressor of the system operates to supply air under pressure to the airbag through the air pressure regulator. Once the airbag is inflated, the inflation system can be turned off, resulting in releasing of the pair of clamps, thus releasing the airbag.

In the preferred embodiments, the present invention provides substantially improved slit sheet cushioning products by advantageously combining novel paper properties with novel slit patterns for improved features and characteristics. In some illustrative and non-limiting example embodiments, cushioning products of the present invention can include, e.g., a novel slit sheet material in combination with extensible paper employed as, e.g., a cushioning pad or as cushioning within an envelope product, wherein the cushioning product can be substantially more resilient, but, yet, e.g., thinner for better utilization of space.

A carton for containing at least one article. The carton comprises at least one panel that can form an interior of the carton. The carton comprises at least one protection feature for protecting the articles from breakage. The article protection feature can comprise at least one feature in end flaps of the carton. The article protection feature can comprise an article protection flap foldably connected to the at least one panel. The article protection flap can be moveable between a first position and a second position wherein the article protection flap is folded relative to the at least one panel.

Packaging may include cushioning elements. Molded fiber cushioning elements may be configured as end caps, and may include independently flexible panels. The cushioning elements may include an upper and lower panel fixed together about their periphery, but free to bend and translate about and along each other otherwise. The cushioning elements may include opposed mechanical bends that are proximate a friction interface, thereby allowing the cushioning element to absorb impact and vibration, and replacing the need for less environmentally friendly cushioning, such as expanded polystyrene or foam cushioning.

A tray for carrying a display panel is disclosed, and the tray includes a base configured to support the display panel, supporting members on the base and each having an inner surface corresponding to two adjacent sides of each of corner portions of the display panel, and buffering members coupled to the inner surface of each of the supporting members and configured to contact the two adjacent sides of the display panel, wherein the buffering members are spaced apart from the inner surface of each of the supporting members by a set distance.

An inflating stick and a processing machine are provided. The inflating stick includes a body, a link rod, a cutter, and one or more inflating tubes. A front end of the body includes a guiding segment with a cone structure. A rear end of the body includes a packing segment. The body includes a gas inlet formed on the packing segment, an internal chamber allowing gas to flow into through the gas inlet, and gas outlets formed on an outer wall of the body allowing gas to flow out. The packing segment includes a first locking structure and a second locking structure. The first locking structure and the second locking structure communicate with the gas inlet. The second locking structure is detachably fastened to the first locking structure. The link rod and the cutter are disposed in rear of the body. The inflating tube is connected to the gas inlet.
