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.

Packing tray for protecting fragile hollow conical objects, such as conical ice cream cones, which allows a stack of such conical objects to be held securely in a pocket of the packing tray, and which allows a plurality of stacked trays and objects to be packaged in cartons. The packing tray is a plastic foam sheet having a top wall and one or more recessed elongated pockets extending downwardly from the top wall, each pocket holding a stack of conical objects. Each pocket includes a floating bottom and flexible and fluted sidewall pleats for dissipating exterior applied forces and snugly engaging a stack of cones held in the pocket, thereby improving product protection, in a relatively low cost and lighter weight construction.

The present invention provides a crossed staggered and stacked-type air packaging device and a manufacturing method therefor. The crossed staged and stacked-type air packaging device includes at least two inflation packaging main body layers, so as to form an accommodation cavity used for storing an article to be packaged. Each inflation packaging main body layer includes at least one sub-inflation unit. The sub-inflation units of at least two adjacent inflation packaging main body layers have different extending directions, so that at least two adjacent inflation packaging main body layers are arranged in a crossed and staggered manner.

A shipping system for shipping planar substrates includes a plurality of planar substrates stacked to form a pack and a plurality of interleaving material including substantially spherical beads positioned between the substrates of the pack and configured to carry a load. 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 vending device of air bag packaging arrangement and its monitoring system and method, wherein the device comprise a storage unit for storing the air bag packaging arrangement; a controlling unit which comprises a selection module, a payment module and a processor, and the selection module and the payment module are operatively connected with the processor, wherein the selection module is used to assistant to select types of the air bag packaging arrangement, wherein the payment module is used to assistant to complete the payment of the selected air bag packaging arrangement; and an allocation unit operatively connected with the processor and provides the air bag packaging arrangement which is selected and paid to buyer under controlling of the processor.

An expandable foam corner protector is provided. The expandable foam corner protector includes (i) a first L-shaped bracketing portion; (ii) a second L-shaped bracketing portion; and (iii) an interior channel portion, which is located between the bracketing portions, including a plurality of arc-shaped cuts extending through a thickness in a Z-direction of the interior channel portion. At least a portion of the arc-shaped cuts are aligned along a X-direction and are free to expand to form expanded openings along a Y-direction in response to an external force applied to the interior channel portion along the Y-direction. The interior channel portion is configured to define a generally right angle configured to overlie a corner of an inanimate object, and wherein the first L-shaped bracketing portion, the second L-shaped bracketing portion, and the interior portion define a U-shaped channel including the generally right angle of the interior channel portion.

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.

A standing-type air-filled packaging apparatus and a manufacturing method therefor are provided. The apparatus includes an inflatable body and an inflation valve. The inflatable body includes multiple inflatable units that are formed by stacking together at least two layers of air chamber films and are connected with each other. The inflatable units are heat-sealed and bent to form an air-filled packaging apparatus provided with at least one accommodating chamber used for accommodating an item to be packaged. The inflation valve is mounted on the inflatable body to inflate the inflatable body. At least one distal side of the solid air-filled packaging apparatus forms an annular support part. When the air-filled packaging apparatus is inflated, the annular support part is suitable for standing on a surrounding surface, thus allowing the packaging apparatus to be in a firm standing state.
