Packaging materials having segments and connectors for releasably detaching portions of neighboring connectors

Packaging material comprising:

• a plurality of segments positioned end-to-end with respect to each other, wherein the segments extend substantially along a first direction, wherein the segment each include a pair of flexible components that extend in substantially opposing directions and outward from the first direction;
• a plurality of connectors that each include a first portion and a second portion for attaching respective neighboring segments together, wherein each first portion pivotally connects its respective neighboring segments together, and wherein each second portion is configured to separate for releasing its attachment of the neighboring segments;
• and
• a plurality of protrusions that are each attached to a respective segment, wherein the protrusions are configured to at least partially engage each other when neighboring segments are pivoted with respect to each other to a corner packaging position, and wherein the protrusions extend in a second direction that is substantially perpendicular to the first direction.
