2. Description of the Related Art When packaging articles to be packaged, a cushioning material that fits into the corners of the articles to be packaged and holds the articles is used in order to prevent the articles to be packaged from being damaged by external shock during transportation. Has been. Conventionally, a styrofoam cushioning material has been used as such a cushioning material. The styrofoam cushioning material has advantages that it can be molded into a complicated three-dimensional shape, has excellent cushioning properties, is lightweight, and has a low manufacturing cost. However, when styrofoam was incinerated, it generated high temperatures and damaged the incinerator, so it had to be landed in a landfill. However, in recent years, since it has become impossible to secure a landfill for garbage, there is a problem in that it is difficult to dispose of styrofoam, which has a large volume, after use.

The cushioning material according to the present invention has an advantage that the surface of the article to be packaged is not damaged because all the contact surfaces with the article to be packaged are sheet surfaces. Further, since it can be obtained from a single corrugated cardboard blank sheet, it is convenient to take paper. Further, both side plates are double (4 layers), the bottom plate is 6 layers, and the back plate is 2 layers, which is excellent in cushioning property. Further, since it can be assembled by engaging the engaging piece with the notch, no adhesive or the like is required, and the both side plate portion, the bottom plate portion and the back plate portion are not easily disassembled after the assembly. . In addition, 1
Since each piece is assembled from a single blank sheet, each piece is always connected to one of the pieces via a fold line, and therefore, the cushioning material according to this embodiment is also excellent in strength. Furthermore, even if the article to be packaged has a protruding portion or a leg portion, it can be securely held in the packaging box.
