## Abstract

A trampoline packaging system has a box base with a box cover. A left footing stack is arranged from a plurality of left leg footings. The leg footings have a rear left leg bend and a front left leg bend. A right footing stack is arranged from a plurality of right leg footings. The leg footings have a rear right leg bend and a front right leg bend. A walled area is formed between the left footing stack and the right footing stack. The walled area has a front hollow and a rear hollow. A first vacuum bag holds an enclosure net and a second vacuum bag holds trampoline spring covers.

## Claims
