A cushioning member includes a cushioning material arranged between a side surface of an object and an exterior box and a positioning member for positioning of the cushioning material with respect to the object. The positioning member includes a holding portion that holds the cushioning material, an engagement portion engaged with an upper surface of the object while the cushioning material held by the holding portion is located at a position set in advance in the side surface of the object, and a coupling portion that couples the holding portion and the engagement portion to each other.

Method and system for storing and/or transporting temperature-sensitive materials. In one embodiment, the system is designed to keep a payload within a desired temperature range of +2° C. to +8° C. for an extended time in a warm ambient environment. The system includes a thermally insulated container and first and second phase-change materials, each of the phase-change materials having a different solid/liquid phase-change temperature. Both phase-change materials are preconditioned to a solid state for pack-out. The first phase-change material has a solid/liquid phase-change temperature that is within the desired temperature range and that is at or below a hibernation temperature of about +5° C. to +6° C. The second phase-change material has a solid/liquid phase-change temperature that is above the hibernation temperature. When placed in the warm ambient environment, both phase-change materials move towards melting; however, when subsequently placed in hibernation, the second phase-change material reverses the direction of its phase change, becoming recharged.

Provided is a cushioning material for being put into a packing box configured for encasement of electronic equipment. The cushioning material absorbs external stress applied to the electronic equipment encased in the packing box. The cushioning material includes: a first holder including a first plate configured to face the electronic equipment when the cushioning material and the electronic equipment are encased in the packing box, and a second plate configured to face an inner wall surface of the packing box when the cushioning material and the electronic equipment are encased in the packing box; and a first cushioning block provided between the first plate and the second plate.

A compartment for storing an energy source in a vehicle having a protective outer structure and an inner structure. The protective outer structure is maintained in position relative to the vehicle during normal operation of the vehicle. The inner structure, which holds the energy source, is positioned in the outer structure. The inner structure is maintained in position relative to the outer structure and relative to the vehicle during normal operation of the vehicle. During an impact to the vehicle, the inner structure is configured to move independent of the outer structure.

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.

A package cushioning for padding an article to be packaged in an outer box includes a base body in the form of a downwardly open half tube. On the outside thereof are attached opposing hump-shaped support members, which protrude beyond the half-tube on the upper side of the base body. Opposing surfaces of the support members and their transitions each form an upwardly open channel section on the package cushioning. The entire package cushioning is made in one piece with an average wall thickness W from a waste paper fiber material. A low point on the inside of the upwardly open channel section is spaced by the distance from the high point on the inside of the downwardly open half tube, the distance being greater than the simple wall thickness.

A dunnage assembly for reducing or preventing movement of items during transportation, is provided comprising first and second panels, arranged substantially parallel and aligned. Each of the first and second panels having least one recess and at least one elongate spacer element received in respective recesses of the first and second panels, such that the at least one spacer element holds the first panel apart from the second panel, and wherein a width of the dunnage assembly between respective first and second panels is configurable by choosing a length of the at least one spacer element.
