Claims13
A container for a product which also serves for cushioning the product, the container being defined by a cushioning material formed by stacking a plurality of sheet-like cushioning materials of different size into a laminate having an uneven shape which defines a concave portion, said laminate having an upper layer, a lower layer and an outer laminate periphery defining an outer container periphery of said container, forming through holes passing from said upper layer to said lower layer in the laminate wherein each said through hole has an inner wall surface, covering the outer laminate periphery of the laminate and the inner wall surface of the through holes with a sheet-like member and using the concave portion as a space for containing the product therein.
A container for containing and cushioning an article, the container having an article containing portion defined by a plurality of cushioning layers of sheet-like cushioning materials which are stacked into a laminate wherein said cushioning layers have different sizes in plan view such that the number of cushioning layers at one location on said laminate varies from the number of cushioning layers at another location of said article containing portion such that said article containing portion has an uneven shape in which at least a recessed portion is formed to receive said article, providing upper and lower layers of a cover material which cover and conform to the shape of the cushioning layers and connect said upper and lower layers together at least about a periphery of said article containing portion to secure said cushioning layers together, the article containing portion including through holes which pass from said upper layer to said lower layer, wherein an inner wall surface of the through holes is covered by said cover material.
A container for containing and cushioning an article, the container having an article containing portion and a lid portion which fits onto said article containing portion, at least one of said article containing portion and said lid portion being defined by a plurality of cushioning layers of sheet-like cushioning materials which are stacked into a laminate wherein said cushioning layers have different sizes in plan view such that the number of cushioning layers at a first location on said laminate varies from the number of cushioning layers at a second location on said one of said article containing portion and said lid portion so as to define an uneven shape defined by portions with a first thickness at said first location and a thicker second thickness at said second location, providing upper and lower layers of a cover material which cover and conform to the shape of the cushioning layers, and connecting said upper and lower layers together at least about a periphery of the cushioning layers to secure said cushioning layers together, the article containing portion including through holes which pass from said upper layer to said lower layer, wherein an inner wall surface of the through holes is covered by said cover material.
