Abstract
A retention packaging assembly includes a frame and two sheet assemblies. The frame includes a central panel, end panels, and two sets of wing panels. Each set of wing panels includes wing panels that are foldably coupled to the central panel and to one of the two end panels. The sheet assemblies include a sheet that is attached at its ends to slot panels. The slot panels of each of the sheet assemblies are selectively couplable to one of the set of wing panels. After an object is placed on a front of the central panel, the sheets of the sheet assemblies are located over the sides of the object. The sets of wing panels can then be folded to a back of the frame to cause the sheets to retain the sides of the object to the central panel.
Claims18
A retention packaging assembly, comprising:
- a frame comprising:
- a central panel,
- a first end panel foldably coupled to the central panel,
- a second end panel foldably coupled to the central panel,
- a first set of wing panels, wherein each of the first set of wing panels is foldably coupled to the central panel and to the first end panel, and
- a second set of wing panels, wherein each of the second set of wing panels is foldably coupled to the central panel and to the second end panel;
- a first sheet assembly comprising first slot panels and a first sheet, wherein ends of the first sheet are attached to the first slot panels, wherein the first sheet spans between the first slot panels, and wherein each of the first slot panels is selectively couplable to one of the first set of wing panels;
- and
- a second sheet assembly comprising second slot panels and a second sheet, wherein ends of the second sheet are attached to the second slot panels, wherein the second sheet spans between the second slot panels, and wherein each of the second slot panels is selectively couplable to one of the second set of wing panels;
- wherein, after the first slot panels are coupled to the first set of wing panels, the second slot panels are coupled to the second set of wing panels, and an object is placed on a front of the central panel, the first set of wing panels are configured to be folded to a back of the frame to cause the first sheet to retain a first side of the object to the central panel and the second set of wing panels are configured to be folded to the back of the frame to cause the second sheet to retain a second side of the object to the central panel, wherein the first and second sheets are arranged substantially parallel to each other when retaining the first and second sides of the object respectively to the central panel.
