  • a stepped portion 45A is formed along the periphery of the base portion 45 so as to surround the base portion 45.
  • the lid portion 3 covers the stacks 5 over the body portion 4 by being mounted on the body portion 4 in such a manner that an edge portion 39 of the opening of the lid portion 3 and the stepped portion 45A are fitted together.
  • the bottom face of the lid portion 3 presses the stacks 50 against the base portion 45 constituting a part of each recessed portion 49.
  • the stacks 5 can be held in the packaging container 2.
  • the plurality of partition portions 47 are arranged in two rows so as to form two rows of the recessed portions 49.
  • the partition portions 47 may be arranged in a single row or may be arranged in three or more rows. It is sufficient that the plurality of partition portions 47 be provided so as to form one or more recessed portions 49.
  • the range of a distance D2 between the recessed portions 49 (the thickness of the partition portion 47) is the same as the range of the distance D1 between the recessed portions 41.
  • the brittle thin film sheets 50 can be doubly protected by the packaging container 2 and the stack holders 6 and, therefore, the breakage of the brittle thin-sheet materials 50 can be prevented.
  • the brittle thin-sheet material 50 is a zirconia-based material, it is possible to obtain a marked effect of preventing "chipping”, “cracking”, and “denting" of edge faces or principal faces of the brittle thin-sheet materials 50 where breakage would be particularly likely to occur.
  • a stack formed by stacking 125 pieces of 120-mm square, 120- ⁇ m thick 8YSZ sheets (manufactured by NIPPON SHOKUBAI CO., LTD.) was put into a commercially-available antistatic polyethylene bag (thickness: 0.05 mm, surface resistivity: 10 8 ⁇ /sq.) serving as a stack holder.
  • the opening of the bag was closed, and the edge on the opening side was folded and adhered to the outer surface of the bag.
  • the four corners of the bag were folded in a triangular shape and adhered to the outer surface of the bag. In this manner, the stack was held by the stack holder.
  • ten such stacks each held by the stack holder were placed in a packaging container as shown in FIG.
  • each stack together with the stack holder, was fitted into a recessed portion of the body portion of the packaging container in such a manner that the stacking direction of the stack coincided with the horizontal direction (a face of the stack that was formed along the stacking direction faced the bottom face of the recessed portion of the body portion of the packaging container).
  • a lid portion was mounted over the stacks. A pair of end portions (upper end portion and lower end portion) of each stack were fixed by the recessed portion and the lid portion. In this manner, a package according to Example 1 was fabricated.
  • the packaging box was a corrugated fiberboard box constituted by W-flute corrugated fiberboards each composed of two corrugated fiberboards one of which had an about 5-mm high flute and the other of which had an about 3-mm high flute.
  • the weight of the linerboards of the corrugated fiberboards per 1 m 2 was about 180 g.
  • a package assembly according to Example 1 was fabricated. Free-fall drop tests and incline impact tests were carried out as described above for the package and the package assembly according to Example 1. The results of the free-fall drop tests are shown in Table 1, and the results of the incline impact tests are shown in Table 2.
  • Example 2 Ten stacks fabricated in the same manner as in Example 1 and each held by the stack holder were inserted into recessed portions of the body portion of a polystyrene foam packaging container as shown in FIG. 1 , and a lid portion was mounted over the stacks. A pair of end portions of each stack were fixed by the recessed portion and the lid portion.
  • a foam having a foaming magnification of about 40-fold was used as a main material of the packaging container.
  • the packaging container had a structure in which sheets of a foam having a foaming magnification of 60-fold were provided on faces to be in contact with the stack holders by being joined to the main material by an adhesive agent. In the manner thus described, a package according to Example 2 was fabricated.
  • the above package was put in a packaging box as shown in FIG. 1 , and veneer boards serving as reinforcing plates were inserted over the entire space between the package and the packaging box.
  • the packaging box was a corrugated fiberboard box in which the height of the flute was about 3 mm and the weight of the linerboard per 1 m 2 was about 220 g.
  • a package assembly according to Example 2 was fabricated.
  • free-fall drop tests and incline impact tests were performed, and all of the 8YSZ sheets contained in the package or the package assembly were inspected.
  • the results of the free-fall drop tests are shown in Table 1, and the results of the incline impact tests are shown in Table 2.
  • the end portion buffer members were polyethylene foams (trade name SUNPELCA L1400 manufactured by Hayashi Felt Co., Ltd.) having a size of 151 mm square, a thickness of 10 mm, and a density of 0.086 g/cm 3 .
  • the end portion buffer members had, at their centers, a recessed portion (the shape of the recessed portion: 122-mm square, the depth of the recessed portion: 5 mm) into which each of the end portions of the stack was fitted. Next, four such packed bodies were each put in a commercially-available antistatic bag.
  • each packed body contained in the bag was put in a tray-like buffering holder in such a manner that the stacking direction of the stack coincided with the vertical direction (in such a manner that a face of the stack formed along the stacking direction faced a side face of the recessed portion).
  • the buffering holders holding the packed bodies were placed in a transport container that was a carrying case made of duralumin.
  • the space between the transport container and the packed bodies contained in the antistatic bags was filled with cushioning materials made of polyethylene (trade name: ASPAC SARASARA, manufactured by Asahi Kasei Corporation). In this manner, a package assembly according to Comparative Example 2 was fabricated.
  • Example 2 a free-fall drop test and an incline impact test were performed for the package assembly, and all of the 1000 pieces of the 8YSZ sheets contained in the package assembly were inspected.
  • the result of the free-fall drop test is shown in Table 1
  • the result of the incline impact test is shown in Table 2.
  • Example 1 and Example 2 were smaller than the breakage rate in Comparative Example 1.
  • the defect generation rates for chipping and cracking in Example 1 and Example 2 were smaller than the defect generation rates for chipping and cracking in Comparative Example 1.
