A device for protecting an inner container and the sample or contents in the inner container. The device for protecting an inner container and sample includes an inner container and an outer protective body. The inner container can receive a sample for applications such as biomedical, health care, dentistry, agricultural, industrial, and veterinary. The inner container can be received into the outer protective body for protection. A lid secures over the inner container forming a seal to prevent leakage and contamination of the sample or inner container contents. The outer protective body is breakage-resistant for protection if the apparatus is dropped.

The invention is directed to a foldable and biodegradable cushioning sheet comprising a plurality of cushions, which sheet comprises a flexible base film and a plurality of cushions located on the top surface of the flexible base film; and wherein the cushioning sheet can be folded to provide a sturdy inside corner, wherein an object can be placed, such that the object is protected and if needed immobilized, for example during packing and transporting.

A logistics transport box is provided, and it relates to the technical field of packaging boxes. The logistics transport box includes a box body, a placement assembly, and an installation assembly. The installation assembly includes support components and sliding vibration-damping components. The support components include sliding rails vertically disposed at four inner corners of the box body. The sliding vibration-damping components include upper sliding blocks, lower sliding blocks, upper fixing blocks, and lower fixing blocks. A spring piece is disposed between each of the sliding blocks and a corresponding one of the fixing blocks. The placement assembly includes covering components and connecting components, the covering components include an upper film and a lower film which are oppositely disposed. The connecting components include first fasteners and second fasteners, the first fasteners are hinged with the upper sliding blocks respectively, and the second fasteners are hinged with the lower sliding blocks respectively.

A method for adhering polylactic acid-based (such as expandable polylactic acid resin (PLA) foam) custom product packaging to a surface is provided. The surface is heated to a suitable temperature and the PLA foam may be pressed against the surface for a second or seconds to rapidly adhere the PLA foam to the surface. The adhesion between the surface and the PLA foam may be sufficient to maintain the adhesion, but may also allow for the PLA foam to be removed from the surface.

A method for adhering polylactic acid-based (such as polylactic acid resin (PLA) foam) custom product packaging to a corrugate surface is provided. The corrugate surface is heated to a suitable temperature and the PLA foam may be pressed against the corrugate surface for a second or seconds to rapidly adhere the PLA foam to the corrugate surface. The adhesion between the corrugate surface and the PLA foam may be sufficient to maintain the adhesion, but may also allow for the PLA foam to be removed from the corrugate surface.

A shipping structure is formed from a mixture of small pieces of tumbled glass. The shipping structure can incorporate a wick element to allow the shipping structure to function as a candle. The glass and wax may be from post-consumer materials. The shipping structure can be chilled for use in shipping of materials where cooling of shipped materials will be beneficial. Multiple shipping structures can be combined to house or shield shipped items within a container.

An edge protector for disposition along an angled edge of an article includes a pair of interior walls; the walls being integrally joined in angular relation to one another at an interior edge when the angle edge protector is in an in-use configuration disposed along the angled edge of the article; a first exterior wall connected to an end of one of the pair of interior walls; and, a first arcuate wall having a first end integrally joined with the first exterior wall, the first arcuate wall having a curvature such that a second end of the first arcuate wall is proximate the interior edge when the angle edge protector is in the in-use configuration. Preferably, there are two arcuate portions, and the edge protector is symmetrical.

A seal layer of a gland packing is a tubular portion containing fluororesin, whose outer periphery is in closely contact with an inner periphery of a stuffing box, and whose inner periphery is in closely contact with an outer periphery of a movable shaft of a fluid device. One or more protective layers of the gland packing are annular portions containing no fluororesin. The protective layers cover at least an atmosphere-side axial end surface of the seal layer to prevent oxygen and moisture from entering the seal layer.
