  • Patent number: 6676011
    Abstract: A packaging box includes a rectangularly configured box having an impact-resistant inner bag attached to a first side interior surface. The attached inner bag has an opening for inserting the article to be packaged. The inner bag is then closed about the article using tape elements. When properly closed the inner bag will be spaced from the box interior surface when the first side is facing up. An additional support for the inner bag includes tie members extending from the first side interior surface and about the closed inner bag, the tie members being joined into a twist knot, where further twisting tightens the tie members about the inner bag, thus supporting it generally and providing additional means for spacing the inner bag from the box interior surfaces when the first side is facing up.

  • Patent number: 6503590
    Abstract: The present invention 10 discloses a packing material comprised of a Styrofoam core 14 having a polyethylene or stretch film 16 bonded by adhesive 18 to the upper and lower surface of the Styrofoam material. The coating materials improve the characteristic of Styrofoam 14 by dispersing a load force across the material. A corrugated layer 20 may be added by adhesive means 18 either as an additional layer or substituting for one or both of the film layers 16 and thereby forms a product that can be die cut which will replace the need for formed Styrofoam in many applications. The die cut material can be shipped in a substantially planar form and assembled on the job site. The edge of the Styrofoam core 14 may be coated with an additional adhesive layer 18 for attachment thereto of a peel-away protective layer 22.
