Abstract

Package housing for an elongate object (8), including a base element (2) having a housing wall (6) defining a receptacle (4) for the object (8), wherein the receptacle (4) has a longitudinal axis (L) which runs substantially coaxially to the longitudinal axis of the object (8) in the packed state. The base element (2) comprises a head part (10) and a holding part (12) arranged in the direction of the longitudinal axis (L) next to the head part (10), which holding part is connected to the head part (10) by a weakening zone (30) and including at least one holding portion (34), which is intended to hold the object (8) in the holding part (12). According to the invention, the weakening zone (30) is a predetermined breaking point (32). The holding portion (34) includes at least one spacer (42a, 42b), which is configured such that the object (8), in the packed state, is held in a contact-free manner with respect to that part of the housing wall (6) of the holding part (12) which extends in the direction of the longitudinal axis (L).
