Abstract: The reed container is especially adapted for original packaging and subsequent storage of double reeds for musical instruments and is comprised of a rectangular shaped flexible plastic material doubled back and secured to itself along opposite edges at two locations spaced from the fold line. The plastic sheet is folded back a distance sufficient to prevent the ends of the reed from contacting the fold portion when the reed is inserted between the two sides of plastic sheeting perpendicular to the fold line with the mounting portion thereof resting on the edge of the folded plastic sheet. The fold of the plastic sheet is not creased to provide ventilation gaps adjacent the fold line.

Abstract: Packaging structure for an assembly of items which are strung on a wire or cord, such as a stringer light assembly which includes a plurality of lamps connected at spaced points to conductors and a support and guard device for each lamp. The packaging structure includes a container having a base and folding portions connected thereto adapted to form sides and a top for the container. A liner is positioned on the base which has a wall of decagonal shape which serves as a form around which the conductors can be wrapped or wound. A slot is provided in each side of the wall for allowing the conductors to pass therethrough so that the lamps and the associated support and guard devices can be positioned on the base within the wall. A plurality of the walls have extensions or projections at the edges thereof which serve to retain the conductors therebetween.
