A product packaging system in one embodiment includes a stack of products defining a pair of opposing major side surfaces, a top surface, a bottom surface, and pair of opposing end surfaces; protective corrugated sheets covering two or more of the stack side, top, and bottom surfaces; and a protective end pad covering each of the stack end surfaces. Each protective corrugated sheet includes a pair of longitudinally-extending and protruding corner reinforcement structures disposed along corner regions of the stack. The reinforcement structures are three-dimensional structures having different possible configurations which provide crush-resistance in the assembled product package. The product package collectively comprising the foregoing components is insertable into an outer shipping carton for transit. Some embodiments include banding which holds the stack of products together. In one embodiment, the products may be mirrors.

A cartridge for storing and transporting fiber-bundle-based preform charges includes a plurality of cells arranged within the housing, wherein each cell is physically adapted to receive a preform charge and prevent it from moving therein as the cartridge is transported. In some embodiments, the cartridge and preform charges it conveys are serialized.

A single piece container is provided that is made from cardboard, paperboard or other lightweight foldable sheet material. The container includes an outer shell, an inner shell and at least one spacer tab. The outer shell has a first end and a second end, and includes a plurality of side wall panels hingedly connected to one other about respective outer shell sidewall foldlines and extending between the first end and the second end of the outer shell. The second end of the outer shell is a closed end. The inner shell includes a first end, an opposite second end, and a plurality of side walls hingedly connected to one another about respective inner shell sidewall foldlines and extending between the first end and the second end of the inner shell. The inner shell is integrally connected to the outer shell along a foldline. The at least one spacer tab connects the inner shell and the outer shell, the spacer tab being released from a respective side wall panel of the inner shell. A single piece blank for said container is also provided.

The present invention provides a guiding rail which can be used in storing and transporting devices provided with dunnage, which can be moved along the guiding rails. In a first aspect, the present invention discloses guiding rails (1) with a recess which is at least partially provided with an intermediate material. Said intermediate material can be in the form of a polymer insert (2) or in the form of a coating added during a painting and/or anodization process. The intermediate material allows to easily manipulate the flexible dunnage (9) along the guiding rails by pulling or pushing the dunnage, even when the force is applied centrally on the dunnage. Said insert can be divided in several components along a transversal line (8), allowing easy installation. In a second aspect, the present invention presents a device for storing and transporting goods, provided with guiding rails (1) with an intermediate material as described above.

A securing device includes a base and a sheet placed on the base. The sheet includes a hole. A securing support is disposed opposite the hole of the sheet. A coupler secures the sheet to the base through the securing support. The securing support includes a contact face that contacts the coupler. The contact face includes a notch through which the securing support is removed from the coupler to separate the base from the sheet without removing the coupler.

The invention relates to a multi-chambered, fluid-fillable apparatus apparatus, comprising two sheets bonded together to define a plurality of cells between them. In a first aspect, at least one, and preferably both, of the sheets are formed from polyvinyl alcohol. In a second aspect, the sheets are sealed together using both permanent and non-permanent seals. The non-permanent seals are formed to rupture at a predetermined internal pressure in order to dissipate externally applied load.

A corner piece is provided for forming packaging elements. The corner piece includes an inner member and an outer member having respective apexes. A connecting member connects the inner and outer members and substantially aligns their apexes, while spacing the inner and outer members apart from one another. A securing element is provided in the outer member for securing an exterior edge protector along the outer member. The securing element includes substantially U-shaped retaining walls engageable with the exterior edge protector. In some embodiments, the spacing between the inner and outer members defines retaining cavities for securing adjacent sidewalls of a storage container.

A container for aerial delivery of a payload is disclosed. The container is comprised of a fixed box, a lid adapted to close the fixed box, and a sleeve surrounding the fixed box. The sleeve is movable between a first, collapsed position and a second, extended position.

An air-filling packaging apparatus includes at least an air cushion body formed by at least two layers of air chamber films. The air cushion body includes multiple air-storing units. The air-storing units are heat-sealed to form a series of 2D heat-sealing seams, folded, and heat-sealed to form a series of 3D heat-sealing seams so as to make a 3D packaging bag for packaging an object to be packaged. The 3D packaging bag provides a cushioning function for the object to be packaged.
