Abstract: A packaging wrap of a paper and shock absorbing material combination in which the lower layers are cut at specified distances from the edges of the wrap to form strips, while the uncut layer provides hinges about which the strips rotate until lying flat upon the uncut layer, where such strips are secured in position. Because the width of each strip is less than one-half the width of the wrap, a hollow gap is formed in which all or a portion of an article may be inserted. The flexibility of the wrap is increased by crimping the wrap along lines substantially perpendicular to the length of the wrap at intervals along the length of the wrap.
