  • Patent number: 5762200
    Abstract: A product suspension packaging device is described and includes a folder and a cradle, both formed from corrugated material. The folder is a unitary piece of corrugated, divided into two halves or frames. Each frame has a central opening therein. The two frames are separated by a cut line formed in the corrugated material. The entire piece of corrugated is encased in a heat-shrinkable, stretchable material. The article or product to be packaged is placed onto the stretchable material and the folder is folded in half, thereby completely enclosing the product between the two halves or frames of the folder. The folder may then be placed within the corrugated cradle, which serves to retain the folder within a corresponding corrugated shipping container or box.
