Abstract
A package system which combines an article and a container in an integrated package with the article secured in nested relationship within a recess of the container. The recess has sufficient depth such that portions of the side walls of the container extend outwardly effectively beyond an exposed surface of the article so as to protect the article against damage. Alternatively, the package system includes a pair of spaced columns which are integrally formed with the side wall of the container and which extend outwardly from the side wall. A recess is formed between the column members which is configured to receive an article in nested relationship within the recess. Methods for securing the article in nested relationship within the recess of the container are also disclosed.
Claims5
A package system, comprising:
- a container having a bottom wall, at least one upstanding side wall and a pair of spaced column members extending outwardly from the side wall, the container having an elongated recess formed between the pair of column members and which is configured to receive an article in nested relationship within the recess, the pair of column members being located outside the recess such that portions of the column members extend outwardly effectively beyond an exposed surface of the article when the article is received within the recess.
