Abstract
A one-piece inner package is disclosed to be made from a single plate. A shoulder with a seat portion supports one end of the product, while an opening on a slope portion supports the other end of the product. Movement of the product inside the outer box is therefore prevented by the seat portion, the opening, as well as by a back wall of the outer box.
