Product insert and shipper

A system, comprising:

• a box including a plurality of internal walls;
• and
• an article configured to be moved from a planar, first configuration, to a folded, second configuration and arranged within the box in the second configuration such that a product-receiving portion of the article is suspended within and spaced away from at least a portion of the plurality of internal walls, wherein the article comprises:
• the product-receiving portion formed by main body portions of a first panel layer and a second panel layer of the article;
• and
• a plurality of support members formed by pivotable edge portions and extension portions of the first panel layer and the second panel layer, the plurality of support members extending outward from the product-receiving portion, wherein at least a portion of the plurality of support members are configured to contact one or more of the internal walls of the box,
• wherein support members of the plurality of support members extend outward from opposite sides of the product-receiving portion relative to a horizontal plane defined by the product-receiving portion, and from opposite ends of the product-receiving portion relative to a central longitudinal axis of the product-receiving portion, and
• wherein the plurality of support members includes:
• a first support member that is formed by first pivotable edge portions of the first and second panel layers disposed on a first end of the product-receiving portion;
• and
• a second support member that is formed by first extension portions of the first panel layer and the second panel layer that extend from respective first pivotable edge portions of the first and second panel layers, wherein the first support member and the second support member are disposed on the first end of the product-receiving portion and extend outward, in different directions, from the opposite sides of the product-receiving portion when the article is in the second configuration.

An article, comprising:

• a double-layered panel member comprising a first panel layer and a second panel layer, the panel member being movable between a planar, first configuration and a folded, second configuration, the first and second panel layers defining a product-receiving portion;
• wherein the first and second panel layers comprise pivotable edge portions and extension portions coupled to the pivotable edge portions, the extension portions having free ends, the extension portions extending inwardly toward a center of main body portions of the first and second panel layers from the pivotable edge portions when the panel member is in the first configuration;
• and
• wherein the pivotable edge portions and the extension portions of the first and second panel layers are pivotable to form support members extending from opposite, first and second sides of the product-receiving portion when the panel member is in the second configuration.
