According to the utility model discloses a package assembly 1 still includes: a plurality of side pads 30. As shown in fig. 1, the packing assembly 1 has four side pads 30, and each side pad 30 is disposed between the upper pad 10 and the lower pad 20 and extends in a height direction in a column structure. In the present embodiment, the side pad 30 has an air cushion structure. The side pad 30 comprises a membrane 33, the membrane 33 surrounds the outer surface of the columnar structure, a closed cavity 34 is formed inside the membrane 33, and the cavity 34 is filled with air, wherein the air pressure of the air is generally a standard atmospheric pressure, so that an air cushion structure is formed.
