Abstract
A piece of flat packaging material has an intermediate section defined by cuts and partial cuts through the packaging material thickness so that the intermediate section is pivotable at the partial cuts to extend out into a package interior and to provide packaging support between products packaged adjacent the intermediate section. In one embodiment, opposing pieces of packaging material disposed in a package support horizontal loading of information handling systems by pivoting opposing intermediate sections inward over top of a first information handling system and placing the second information handling systems over the top of the first information handling systems.

- and
- placing a second product over top of the first product, each intermediate section providing packaging support between the first and second products.
A multi-product shipping system comprising:
- a package having an interior to hold plural products;
- opposing pieces of packaging material, each having a pivotable intermediate section approximately aligned along a horizontal plane;
- a first product disposed in the package beneath and adjacent to the intermediate sections;
