Packaging products and associated material

A packaging cushion, comprising:

• a first liner and a second liner opposite one another, each of the first and second liners defining an inner surface, wherein a transverse liner axis extends normal to the inner surfaces;
• a mesh bonded to and disposed between the first and second liners, the mesh having a top mesh surface and an opposed bottom mesh surface, the mesh defining:
• a plurality of nodes each defining 1) a top node surface defined by the top mesh surface, 2) a bottom node surface defined by the bottom mesh surface, and 3) a transverse node axis extending substantially normal to the top and bottom node surfaces, wherein the transverse node axes of at least some of the plurality of nodes are each oriented at an oblique angle relative to the transverse liner axis;
• and
• a plurality of legs interconnecting the plurality of nodes.

An envelope, comprising:

• one or more panels organized so as to define an internal compartment, wherein each of the one or more panels includes:
• a first liner defining an outer surface of the respective panel,
• a second liner defining an inner surface of the respective panel, the inner surface defining at least a portion of the internal compartment;
• a transverse liner axis extending substantially normal to the inner and outer surfaces;
• a mesh bonded to one or both of the first and second liners, the mesh having a top mesh surface and an opposed bottom mesh surface, the mesh defining:
• a plurality of nodes each defining 1) a top node surface defined by the top mesh surface, 2) a bottom node surface defined by the bottom mesh surface, and 3) a transverse node axis extending substantially normal to the top and bottom node surfaces, wherein the transverse node axes of at least some of the plurality of nodes are each oriented at an oblique angle relative to the transverse liner axis;
• and
• a plurality of legs interconnecting the plurality of nodes, wherein the plurality of nodes and the plurality of legs have multi-directional flexibility.
