A glass article layer is provided that includes at least two cylindrical glass articles extending in a z-direction and arranged side by side in an x-direction. Two spacers are provided spaced apart from one another at an interval longitudinally of the glass article in the z-direction. The spacers are arranged between the glass articles. The spacers are thread-like elements and at least one of the thread-like elements is provided at each spacer position.

A packaging for an object and a method of packaging the object are disclosed The packaging comprises a sealable outer box and at least one padded part for insertion into the interior of the outer box. The padded part comprises shaped cushioning parts on its periphery for supporting the padded part on the inside against the side walls of the outer box so as to be secured against displacement. The padded part also includes a recess for the precisely fitting accommodation of the packaged object. Finally, the packaging in accordance with the invention comprises a support insert that, together with the padded part, defines a packaging space for the packaged object within the outer box, wherein the support insert extends at a distance from the side walls of the outer box and forms at least part of a side wall of the packaging space.

A reusable packaging device that in a use state is a rhomboid outer structure with an internal inflatable and reusable vessel that surrounds and protects a payload, that can be converted into a storage state by deflating the vessel and folding the outer structure flat in order that it may be stacked.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a protective packaging device for protecting a product during storage, shipping, and handling.

A machine for converting a sheet material into a relatively less dense dunnage product includes a forming assembly and a feeding assembly downstream of the forming assembly. The forming assembly is configured to form the sheet material into a tubular shape with lateral edges of the sheet material adjacent one another. A deflector at a downstream end of the forming assembly is configured to engage the lateral edges of the sheet material and to urge the lateral edges into an interior of the tubular shape. This juxtaposes lateral edge portions of the sheet material adjacent the respective lateral edges. A forming channel at a downstream end of the forming assembly faces the deflector to receive the lateral edge portions and shape them into a tab. Finally, the feeding assembly includes rotating connecting members that engage and connect the overlapping lateral edge portions of the sheet material forming the tab.

Container adapted for cargo or personnel transport, the container being substantially prismatic, cylindrical or cubic in shape, wherein the container comprises: an internal surface and an external surface, a rigid frame, which defines a plurality of container faces, wherein the confluence of two or more of said container faces define edge portions being substantially chamfered, and one or more shock absorbing corner protectors adapted for being mounted on the edge portions, characterized in that the edge portions of the rigid frame comprise one or more beams arranged substantially in parallel to the direction of the confluence of two container faces, and the inner face of the corner protectors comprise at least a flange adapted for fitting in the one or more beams of the edge portions, such that the corner protectors substantially protrude from the external surface.

A substrate storing container 1 includes a filter unit 90 having a housing that forms a ventilation path 901 and a filter 95. The housing includes an outer housing portion 94 and an inner housing portion 92 at least partially disposed inside the outer housing portion 94 and fastened to the outer housing portion 94. The inner housing portion 92 has a male thread portion 929 at a part disposed inside the outer housing portion 94. The outer housing portion 94 has a female thread portion 949 that meshes with the male thread portion 929. The inner housing portion 92 has first engagement portions 928 at a part that is disposed inside the outer housing portion 94 and where the male thread portion 929 does not exist. The outer housing portion has second engagement portions 948 that engage with the first engagement portions 928 at a part where the female thread portion 949 does not exist. The first engagement portions 928 and the second engagement portions 948 are configured to be visually identifiable in fastening of the inner housing portion 92 and the outer housing portion 94.

A packaging part (1) for securing an item to be packaged in an outer packaging, has at least one supporting body (2, 16) that acts as a decoupling element. The supporting body is formed as a hollow body and projects from a bearing base. The supporting body (2, 16) has a base with a relatively large cross-section in the area of the bearing base and tapers in a direction away from the bearing base. The supporting body (2, 16) further has in its shell surface at least one line of weakness (14) that divides the supporting body into an upper part and a lower part. The upper part of the supporting body (2, 16) can be pressed along the line of weakness (14), preferably completely, into the lower part under load.
