Suspension package

A suspension package comprising:

• a base comprising first and second ends and first and second sides;
• first and second end panels, each end panel secured to a respective end of the base to extend outwardly therefrom;
• a product-supporting hammock connected to the end panels;
• first and second side panels, each side panel secured to a respective side of the base;
• a first fold line extending across the base and the side panels, said first fold line oriented such that folding the base and the side panels at the first fold line to move the end panels toward one another reduces tension on the hammock.

• first and second side panels, each side panel secured to a respective side of the base;
• a top panel secured to the first side panel and movable to an operational position in which the top panel overlies the hammock;
• first and second braces, each brace extending diagonally between the base and the respective end panel to hold the end panel in an operational position;
• a first fold line extending across the base, the side panels, and the top panel, said first fold line oriented such that folding the base and the side panels at the first fold line to move the end panels toward one another reduces tension on the hammock;
• second fold lines between the base and the side panels;
• said side panels restraining the base against folding at the first fold line when the side panels are folded along the second fold lines to an operational position alongside the hammock, thereby tensioning the hammock.
