Abstract: An impact resistant container system particularly useful for products such as stacked, thin sheets of photographic-film or printing plates and other articles that must be kept distortion free. The system has an inner container wherein the product is sandwiched between upper and lower protection sheets that extend beyond the corner margins of the product and the product is restrained from movement within the sandwich. The sandwich is snugly positioned within an outer container so that the article is spaced apart on all sides from the vertical walls of the outer container to provide impact protection crush zones.
