Abstract: A sheet panel (140) is capable of being used with a base panel (110) to form a retention packaging system. The sheet panel (140) includes a first overwrap panel (142), a second overwrap panel (144), a sheet (152) connected to the first overwrap panel (142) and to the second overwrap panel (144), and a detachable portion (148, 150) between the first and second overwrap panels and configured to be detached from the sheet panel. After the detachable portion (148, 150) is detached from the sheet panel (140), the first overwrap panel (142) is configured to be selectively attached to a first tension flap (112) of the base panel at one of a plurality of locations on the first tension flap and the second overwrap panel (144) is configured to be selectively attached to a second tension flap (114) of the base panel at one of a plurality of locations on the second tension flap such that the sheet (152) spans between the first and second tension flaps (112, 114).

Abstract: A retention packaging assembly (100, 200, 300, 400) includes a frame (100) and sheet assemblies (200, 300). The frame includes a central panel (102), end panels (104), and two sets of wing panels (108, 110). Each set of wing panels includes wing panels foldably coupled to the central panel and to one of the two end panels. The sheet assemblies include a sheet (208) that is attached at its ends to slot panels (204, 206, 304, 306). The slot panels of each of the sheet assemblies are selectively couplable to one of the set of wing panels. After an object is placed on a front of the central panel, the sheets of the sheet assemblies are located over the sides of the object. The sets of wing panels can then be folded to a back of the frame to cause the sheets to retain the sides of the object to the central panel.

Abstract: A frame (10) used in a packaging assembly for retaining a product within a box. The frame includes a panel (16) having a panel width (W1) greater than the box width. A front panel flap fold zone (26) corresponds to the front closure flap fold line of the box. A rear panel flap fold zone (30) corresponds to the rear closure flap fold line of the box. A central panel portion (34) extends between the front and rear panel flap fold zones. Front and rear panel flaps (36, 38) extend from the front panel flap fold zone and the rear panel flap fold zone, respectively. A detachment line (40) extends from the left edge (19) to the right edge (20) of the panel in the central panel portion to delineate front and rear central panel portions (42, 44). A sheet (18) extends across the central panel portion and attaches to the panel at opposing regions of the panel outside of the central panel portion.

Abstract: A frame (14) is useful in a packaging assembly including a box. The frame includes a panel (16) and a sheet (40). The panel has a panel length (L1) that is greater than the box length. The panel has a panel width (W1) that is greater than the box width. The panel defines a left slot (26) configured to receive the left closure flap of the box and a right slot (28) configured to receive the right closure flap of the box. The panel includes a left panel flap (30) extending from the left slot to the left edge (18) of the panel, a right panel flap (32) extending from the right slot to the right edge (20) of the panel, a front panel flap (34) extending from the left panel flap to the right panel flap; and a rear panel flap (36) extending from the left panel flap to the right panel flap. The left panel flap is foldably connected to the front panel flap and to the rear panel flap. The right panel flap is foldably connected to the front panel flap and the rear panel flap.

Abstract: A frame useful for retaining a product includes a frame and a sheet. The panel includes a central portion and right and left retention flaps extending from the central portion. The panel also includes right and left front pieces moveable to an engaged position coupled with the right and left retention flaps, respectively. The sheet includes a front retaining portion extending between the right and left front pieces and a front remainder portion at least partially overlaying the central portion of the panel. The right and left front pieces in the engaged position connect the front retaining portion of the sheet to the right and left retention flaps, respectively. When the right and left front pieces are both in their engaged positions, the front retaining portion of the sheet extends over the central portion of the panel.

Abstract: A frame useful in a suspension package includes a panel and a sheet attached to the panel. The panel has a central portion defining a panel opening.

Abstract: A protective packaging assembly and a method of making the same. The packaging assembly is for packaging and protecting one or more articles for shipment. The assembly may include an outer container, an inflatable element, and a framing element. The container defines an interior for holding the article(s), as well as the inflatable element and the framing element. The inflatable element defines a plurality of inflated cells for cushioning and protecting the article or articles against impact and other forces. The framing element has a peripheral shape that corresponds to at least a portion of the interior of the container so that the framing element may be securely held within the interior. The framing element may be operatively connected to the inflatable element to position the inflatable element adjacent to the article in a predetermined manner so that the inflated cells protect the article when the packaging structure is closed.
