In between the upper and the lower support are a plurality of neck tabs that are individually deformable to further limit mobility of the bottle in the packaging.
Claims19
A packaging for securely holding one or more bottles comprising:
- a first bottle storage region having a back panel, a bottom panel, and three side panels that are configured so that a slot in one of the side panels mates with a slot receiver in the bottom panel, each side panel having an upper end and a lower end,
- a lower support having a lower locking tab formed at the lower end of two of the side panels which is configured to deform to secure the bottom panel in a closed position,
- means for closing a top end of the first bottle storage region so as to provide a shock-absorbing region between the top end of the first bottle storage region and an exterior surface and to limit mobility of a bottle in the first bottle storage region, and
- a plurality of neck tabs that each include a strip that extends longitudinally across a portion of a first side panel of the three side panels and a portion of a second side panel of the three side panels, the first side panel being adjacent to the second side panel, the portion of the first side panel being less than the width of the first side panel and the portion of the second side panel being less than the width of the second side panel, wherein the plurality of neck tabs are sized and positioned to be deformed individually to contact and prevent mobility of a sloped neck region of a bottle disposed within the first bottle storage region.

A packaging for securely holding one or more bottles comprising:
- a back panel, a bottom panel, and a top panel extending from the back panel,
- a first bottle storage region formed from the back panel, the bottom panel, and a first set of three side panels that are configured so that a slot in one of the side panels mates with a slot receiver extending partway into the bottom panel, each side panel having an upper end and a lower end,
- a second bottle storage region formed from the back panel, the bottom panel, and a second set of three side panels that are located on an opposite side of the back panel from the first set of three side panels and are configured so that a slot in one of the side panels mates with the slot receiver of the bottom panel, wherein the slot receiver of the bottom panel is wide enough to accommodate the thickness of two panels,
- a lower support having a lower locking tab formed at the lower end of two side panels of the first set of three side panels which is configured to deform and secure the bottom panel in a closed position, and
- an upper support having an upper locking tab formed at the upper end of the two side panels of the first set of three side panels, and an aperture located in the two side panels of the first set of three side panels, wherein the upper locking tab is configured to deform and secure the top panel in a closed position so that the top panel extends into the aperture.
