Abstract: 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.

Abstract: An elongated, adhesively-coated, load-sustaining, supporting member attachable to a load for assisting in transporting the load from one location to another and to facilitate stacking of load units. The member is generally of a rectangular parallelepiped shape and has an elongated side completely covered with a hot-melt, pressure-sensitive adhesive for securing the member to the load. An easily removable sheet protecting the adhesive layer is applied to the entire adhesive area to protect the adhesive until time of use. The member may be cut to size, as appropriate, for a given dimensioned load.
