Abstract: A retention packaging includes a support member having first and second sections each defining a support surface for receiving an object thereon for shipping; and a film disposed in covering relation to the support surface of the support member and retained to the support member at the first and second sections. The first and second sections are pivotably connected to one another along a fold line that substantially transects the support member. The film includes opposite ends each enclosing a respective opposite end of the support member and defining overlapping areas of the film that are permanently joined together. The first section of the support member extends between the overlapping areas of one of the opposite ends of the film, and the second section of the support member extends between the overlapping areas of the other of the opposite ends of the film.

The film includes opposite ends each enclosing a respective opposite end of the support member and defining overlapping areas of the film that are permanently joined together, and a pleated portion that is located between the opposite ends of the film and that includes at least one fold in the film. The film is removably secured to itself so as to removably secure the at least one fold of the pleated portion.

Abstract: Making a retention packaging includes: (a) positioning both a film and a support member such that the film extends in covering relation to a surface of the support member, beyond a leading edge of the support member, beyond a trailing edge of the support member, and beyond opposite side edges of the support member; (b) folding opposite side edges of the film such that the film forms first overlapping areas beyond and proximate the leading edge of the support member; (c) permanently joining the first overlapping areas of the film together; (d) cutting the film proximate the first overlapping areas; (e) folding opposite side edges of the film such that the film forms second overlapping areas beyond and proximate the trailing edge of the support member; (f) permanently joining the second overlapping areas of the film together; and (g) cutting the film proximate the second overlapping areas.
