A packaging part (1) for securing an item to be packaged in an outer packaging, has at least one supporting body (2, 16) that acts as a decoupling element. The supporting body is formed as a hollow body and projects from a bearing base. The supporting body (2, 16) has a base with a relatively large cross-section in the area of the bearing base and tapers in a direction away from the bearing base. The supporting body (2, 16) further has in its shell surface at least one line of weakness (14) that divides the supporting body into an upper part and a lower part. The upper part of the supporting body (2, 16) can be pressed along the line of weakness (14), preferably completely, into the lower part under load.

The present disclosure relates to a system comprising at least one primary package accommodating at least one article, and a secondary package accommodating the primary package, wherein the secondary package comprises a second package material having a water vapor transmission rate lower than about 100 g/m.sup.2/day, as measured according to Water Vapor Transmission Rate Test, and a resistance to compression higher than about 150N.

A protective bracket and a using method thereof. The protective bracket including: a main body part; an extension part extending outwardly from the main body part, at least part of the extension part being inclined relative to the main body part; a fixing part, extending from a free end of the extension part away from the main body part; a stopping part, connected to the main body part at a preset angle, in a thickness direction of the main body part, the fixing part and the stopping part being located at a same side of the main body part, and an end face of the fixing part away from the main body part being closer to the main body part than an end face of the stopping part away from the main body part.

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.

Disclosed herein is a protective housing for carrying a rigid vessel. In use, the vessel will contain liquid. The housing comprises a casing. The casing includes a peripheral wall, a base and a top. The base and top are connected to the peripheral wall to define a volume for containing the vessel. The protective housing further comprises an impact absorber. The impact absorber is disposed, in use, between the vessel and casing to reduce transferral, to the vessel, of a force applied to the casing. There is also an aperture in the casing for accessing a closure section of the vessel while the vessel is in the protective housing.

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.

An inflatable corner packing device for protecting corners of a product includes: first and second thermoplastic films having a first section, a second section, and an elbow section connecting the first and second sections in a vertical direction, wherein a plurality of fluid containers each extending in the vertical direction, and the first and second sections and the elbow section each have a right side portion, a left side portion, and a middle portion connecting the right and left side portions, wherein the side portions are inwardly crooked for holding a product therebetween. The first and second thermoplastic films are folded, and the folded films are bonded in the elbow section along a border between adjacent fluid containers in each crooked side portion, leaving a remaining portion of the border unbonded, so that the bonded borders form the elbow section.

A buffer member has a first surface and a second surface opposite to each other. There is a buffer structure located on the first surface, and there is a slant located on the second surface for guiding a movement of an object relative to the buffer member. A package including the buffer member is provided therein.

A method of using a corner board protector to protect a corner on a palletized stack of containers. The method includes the steps of forming a one piece, corner board locator having a connection portion and an insert portion, and the corner board locator having an opening formed therethrough. Positioning the insert portion between two vertically aligned containers of the palletized stack of containers. Forming a corner board having two angled panels and a length. Inserting the two angled panels through the opening formed in the corner board locator to retain the corner board at a select height relative to the palletized stack of containers.
