Substantially all of the beads have a diameter within 25% of D.sub.max, where D.sub.max is a diameter corresponding to a size of an opening of an upper limit sieve used in the shipping system. Also disclosed are a spacer for use in a shipping system for shipping planar substrates, a wrapped system for shipping planar substrates, a method of wrapping a system for shipping planar substrates, and a powder applicator.

A cushion structure for use with a packaging case provides cushion and protection of an object. The cushion structure includes a first member and a second member. The first member is configured to snuggly receive the object; the second member is configured to be mounted onto a case body of the packaging case; and the first member and the second member are detachably coupled.

A crate assembly includes an external crate assembly (12) having a top (16), a bottom (18), sides (20, 21) and ends (22, 23). An internal spool support assembly (14) is located within the external crate assembly (12). The internal spool support assembly (14) includes a lower spool support structure (54). The lower spool support structure (54) includes a first lower spool support assembly (58) located at one of the ends (22, 23) of the external crate assembly (12). A second lower spool support assembly (60) is located at an opposite one of the ends (22, 23) of the external crate assembly (12). The first lower spool support assembly (58) is separated from the second lower spool support assembly (60) such that the first and second lower spool assemblies (58, 60) may move relative to each other.

A storage container comprises: a storage portion and a side wall provided around the bottom portion, and a hollow region defined by an inner side surface and a bottom surface and having a generally cuboid shape; and a positioning member positioning a rectangular plate-like structural body as a storage target inside the hollow region. In the storage portion, a groove is formed in the inner side surface and the positioning member is detachably fitted into the storage portion. The positioning member includes a joint member in contact with the groove and a contact member detachably fitted into each other. The contact member includes: an engaged portion to be engaged with the joint member, a contact portion having two contact surfaces receiving a corner of the storage target and forming a generally right angle, and an intervening portion to be provided between the side wall and the joint member. The contact portion and the intervening portion are formed integrally.

Disclosed are an inflation-free double-sided airbag and its preparation method. The inflation-free double-sided airbag includes upper airbags arranged into an array and connected to one another to form a planar body, lower airbags arranged into an array and connected to one another to form a planar body, an elastic layer disposed between the upper airbag and the lower airbag and having an upper surface connected to the upper airbag and a lower surface connected to the lower airbag, and a soft edge connecting portion disposed between two adjacent upper airbags and between two adjacent lower airbags. After the airbag is pierced, it still has the protection effect. When an external pressure is exerted onto the inflation-free double-sided airbag, the elastic material layer provides a buffering effect to minimize the degree of deformation of the airbags and reduce impacts on a user or a product.

Provided are: a package that is capable of transporting a composite material without generating fluff by suppressing shedding of carbon fibers from the composite material while holding the composite material at a fixed position during transportation; and a method for manufacturing the package. This package is prepared by stacking a composite material in the form of a plurality of plates on a mounting stand having a plurality of fitting holes, wherein: the composite material includes carbon fibers and a thermoplastic resin; the composite material is held by a plurality of holding members detachably attached to the fitting holes; of the contact surfaces of the composite material and the holding members, one of the contact surfaces of either the composite material or the holding members is curved, and the other contact surface is flat or curved.

The present disclosure relates to a protective wrapping for a cylindrical object, comprising: an essentially square plastic film sheet, having a length exceeding the length of the circumference of the cylindrical object to be wrapped and a width exceeding the width of the cylindrical object to be wrapped, and having an inner face and an outer face referring to the orientation of the film when wrapped; the plastic film sheet comprising two foamed plastic strips arranged on the inner or outer face thereof, the strips arranged essentially parallel in the length direction of the plastic film sheet, at a distance from each other such that the foamed plastic strips can cover and protect the edges of the cylindrical object when wrapped. The present disclosure further relates to the use of the protective wrapping for wrapping a cylindrical object, particularly a reel of plastic film for baling applications.

The compression resistant package for wall and ceiling tile includes a first container having a box portion and a cover. An L-shaped corner protection member is provided inside the box portion at each of the tour corners of the box portion. Each of the L-shaped corner protection members have two intersecting legs that respectively extend alongside predetermined portions of the interior wall surfaces of the box portion. The corner protection members have a height that extends upwardly from the floor of the box portion to the height of the walls of the box portion. The corner protection members are formed of a compression resistant material that prevents any overlying containers from imposing pressure on a stack of tiles inside the first container when the stack height of the tiles inside the first container is less than the height of the corner protection members.

A packaging assembly is provided with a base that is sized to receive at least one shower door glass pane. At least one shower door glass pane is received within the base. A handle is mounted to the base. A plurality of projections extends from a bottom surface of the base to rest upon an underlying support surface and to reduce friction between the packaging assembly and the underlying support surface. The base includes a box with an opening formed in opposed surfaces of the box to expose a portion of the at least one shower door glass pane.
