a fixation insert (1) made of at least one layer of a flat material that is formed into a spatial shape that contains spatially raised edges (6) and the central part (7), which is compressed, which contains at least one supplementary carrying means (2) and/or supplementary packing means (3). ## Claims ### Claim 1 A multi-functional insert comprising a fixation insert made of at least one layer of a flat material that is formed into a spatial shape that contains spatially raised edges and a central part, which is compressed, and at least one supplementary carrying means and/or supplementary packing means that overlies the central part of the spatial shape at only one side of the central part and is attached to the fixation insert at the central part, wherein the at least one of the supplementary carrying means and/or the supplementary packing means is attached to the fixation insert in the same way as individual layers of the central part of the fixation insert are joined together. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The multi-functional insert in accordance with claim 1, wherein the at least one of the supplementary carrying means and/or the supplementary packing means is attached to the fixation insert with glue and/or a seam made with the use of a thread or a wire and/or a compressed recess. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The multi-functional insert in accordance with claim 1, wherein the at least one of the supplementary carrying means and/or the supplementary packing means contains an agent for anti-corrosion protection of a packed item. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The multi-functional insert in accordance with claim 1, wherein the at least one of the supplementary carrying means and/or the supplementary packing means is multi-layered. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The multi-functional insert in accordance with claim 1 , wherein the supplementary packing means consists of a plastic hose. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The multi-functional insert in accordance with claim 1, wherein the at least one of the supplementary carrying means and/or the supplementary packing means formed from paper or plastic or a woven or non-woven textile or a nano-textile. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The multi-functional insert in accordance with claim 1, wherein the at least one of the supplementary carrying means and/or the supplementary packing means is attached by embossments to the central part of the fixation insert. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The multi-functional insert in accordance with claim 1, wherein the at least one of the supplementary carrying means and/or the supplementary packing means is attached to the fixation insert in an interrupted way. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The multi-functional insert in accordance with claim 1, wherein the at least one of the supplementary carrying means and/or the supplementary packing means contains an information message. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The multi-functional insert in accordance with claim 1, wherein the spatially raised edges of the spatial shape define therebetween a width of the central part, and the at least one supplementary carrying means and/or the supplementary packing means has a width corresponding to the width of the central part. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The multi-functional insert in accordance with claim 1, wherein the at least one supplementary carrying means and/or the supplementary packing means overlies the entire width of the spatial shape. ### Claim 12 (depends on 11) The multi-functional insert in accordance with claim 11, wherein the at least one supplementary carrying means and/or the supplementary packing means imparts to the multi-functional insert a packing characteristic different from that of the fixation insert. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The multi-functional insert in accordance with claim 1, wherein the at least one supplementary carrying means and/or the supplementary packing means is a strip carrying information. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) The multi-functional insert in accordance with claim 13, wherein the strip is attached to the fixation insert in an interrupted way. ### Claim 15 A multi-functional insert comprising a fixation insert made of at least one layer of a flat material that is formed into a spatial shape that contains spatially raised edges and a central part, which is compressed, and at least one supplementary carrying means and/or supplementary packing means that overlies the central part of the spatial shape at only one side of the central part and is attached to the fixation insert at the central part, wherein the at least one of the supplementary carrying means and/or the supplementary packing means is an adhesive tape containing the adhesive constituent that can be wetted with water. ### Claim 16 A multi-functional insert comprising a fixation insert made of at least one layer of a flat material that is formed into a spatial shape that contains spatially raised edges and a central part, which is compressed, and a strip carrying information, which strip overlies the central part of the spatial shape at only one side of the central part and is attached to the fixation insert at the central part, wherein the strip is attached by embossments to the central part of the fixation insert. ### Claim 17 A multi-functional insert comprising a fixation insert made of at least one layer of a flat material that is formed into a spatial shape that contains spatially raised edges and a central part, which is compressed, and a strip carrying information, which strip overlies the central part of the spatial shape at only one side of the central part and is attached to the fixation insert at the central part, wherein the spatially raised edges of the spatial shape define therebetween a width of the central part, and the strip is a paper or plastic strip having a width corresponding to the width of the central part. ### Claim 18 (depends on 17) The multi-functional insert in accordance with claim 17, wherein the at least one of the supplementary carrying means and/or the supplementary packing means is an adhesive tape. ### Claim 19 (depends on 17) The multi-functional insert in accordance with claim 17, wherein the strip is attached by embossments to the central part of the fixation insert.
