Abstract: An improved method for packaging fragile or sensitive articles resulting in a package in a container which protects the articles during handling, shipping or storage. A heat treat-shrinkable wrapping provided with at least one air exit aperture covers a frame within which a fragile article is suspended. After heat treat-shrinking the wrapping, the package containing the fragile article and the frame is placed in a suitable shipping container of sufficient size to firmly hold the package therein.
