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 holder including a first plate having a first opening and configured to face the electronic equipment, and a second plate having a second opening and configured to face an inner wall surface of the packing box; and a first cushioning block held by the holder between the first plate and the second plate. The first cushioning block includes a first cushioning portion protruding through the first opening in a first direction going from the first plate toward the electronic equipment and configured to be in contact with the electronic equipment, a second cushioning portion protruding through the second opening in a second direction going from the second plate toward the inner wall surface of the packing box and configured to be in contact with the inner wall surface of the packing box, and a first link portion provided between the first plate and the second plate and linking the first cushioning portion and the second cushioning portion to each other. The first link portion is longer than the first opening and the second opening in a first holding direction intersecting with the first direction and the second direction.

Shipping containers for batteries are described herein. An example shipping container includes a base defining a cavity, a lid to be coupled to a top of the base to substantially seal the cavity, and an absorbent pad disposed within the cavity to absorb liquid from the battery if the battery leaks.

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.

Provided is an insulation liner for use inside a shipping carton that affords thermal insulation and shock absorption for an object to be shipped, a liner and carton system, a method of production of the insulation liner, and methods of use. The insulation liner includes a larger component folded into three panels, a smaller component folded into three panels, and standoffs disposed on the surfaces of both the larger component and the smaller component. The standoffs may be oriented inwardly or outwardly. When oriented outwardly they create an interstitial air space that reduces conduction allowing the insulation effect of the liner and carton system to equal or exceed that of a molded polystyrene container of an equal size.

Various embodiments include apparatus, systems, and methods relating to protective packaging for shipping items. In some embodiments, a protective packaging system may include a shipping container and a foam insert assembly. The shipping container may encase an interior portion. The foam insert assembly may be configured to conformally encapsulate one or more shipping items within the interior portion of the shipping container, e.g., so as to protect the one or more shipping items from mechanical impact damage (e.g., bending) and/or environmental damage (e.g., exposure to moisture) during shipping.
