The invention is directed to a support for a work of art comprising a base element for fixing the support to an interior wall of a shipping container and a clamping element for clamping the work of art and wherein the base element and the clamping element are fixed to each other by wire rope isolators.

There is disclosed a packaging system including an outer container having a bottom and four upstanding sidewalls defining an outer container volume, the outer container further comprising an outer container top, and an inner compartment having an inner compartment bottom, four upstanding sidewalls including an inner compartment front, an inner compartment back, and two opposing inner compartment ends, the four upstanding walls bounding a perimeter of the inner compartment bottom, and an inner compartment top, wherein the inner compartment is formed by an inner compartment panel folded to form the inner compartment bottom, the four upstanding inner compartment sidewalls and the inner compartment top, wherein the packaging system includes a plurality of suspension elements maintaining an air gap between the outer container and the inner compartment, and wherein the outer container and the inner compartment are formed from a packaging system material.

There is provided a container system comprising an outer container comprising a base and a plurality of upstanding walls defining a cavity, a closure flap extending from a top of one of the upstanding walls wherein the first closure flap covers an opening formed by the top ends of the upstanding walls when the outer container is in a closed configuration, and wherein the closure flap includes a retention element that extends from the closure flap downward into the cavity of the outer container when the outer container is closed, and an suspension insert including a product retention compartment and a plurality of suspension units extending outwardly from the suspension unit creating a suspension gap on all sides of the product retention compartment when the suspension insert is installed in the outer container, wherein the retention element exerts a retention force on a the suspension insert.

The invention relates to a packaging method, a transport package, and use of the packaging method for transporting products by means of a drone. According to the invention, a product to be packaged is placed in an open inner wrapping that is pretensioned on elastic traction cables in order to hold the product approximately centrally in an outer package. After insertion, the wrapping is closed and evacuated until it lies tightly against the product, and the traction cables are thereby further tensioned.

A packaging device can include a resilient member formed of one or more layers of different materials and a frame member. The resilient member can be heat sealed to the frame member or to a coating on the surface of the frame member. The layers can be made from different materials or the same materials having different thicknesses, modules of elasticity, melting index, or other different characteristics.

A package including: a case having a bottom and a peripheral rim which can adopt: a stowing position in which the peripheral rim extends substantially parallel to the bottom; a use position in which the peripheral rim extends from the bottom; a cover; and holding means for maintaining in the case an object to be transported. The holding means includes: a first part secured to the case; and a second part secured to the cover. At least one of the first part and the second part is relaxed in the stowing position of the peripheral rim, and tensioned in the use position of the peripheral rim.

A system for delivery of fragile payloads involves a structure having an approximately spherical aspect composed of rigid struts and flexible tendons joining ends of struts, the flexible tendons in tension placing the struts in compression, the structure having a hollow interior, and one or more fragile items wrapped in a shock-absorbing bio-degradable material such that no fragile item contacts another, forming a payload bundle, the payload bundle joined by fibrous filaments suspending the payload within the structure. The structure carrying the payload bundle is carried to a destination by an aerial vehicle and dropped from a height to the ground, where the structure rebounds and rolls, dissipating kinetic energy gained in falling, preventing the payload bundle from striking ground surface.
