A projection is provided on the exposed upper surface so as to fit into the recess.

[0009] In such a configuration, the fastening band is accommodated in a state in which the combined body of the packaged object and the upper and lower cushioning members which are put on the upper and lower ends thereof and are sandwiched and integrated between both is accommodated in the cylindrical outer box. The lower part of the lower cushioning member and the upper part of the upper cushioning member are upper and lower ends of the outer box for stacking and storing or transporting the packaged goods. The upper and lower packages are in direct contact with each other between the upper and lower cushioning members, and there is no sealing part of the outer box between them. In the integrated state where the unevenness fits, the opposing portions of each of the objects to be packed in the stacked upper and lower packages are protected in the same way as an integrated cushioning member, so each is protected as compared with the conventional case where it is individually protected. Being able to reduce wall thickness Even if it is a vertically long package, the package can be piled low and the stability can be improved. There is an advantage that it is possible to prevent the collapse of the load of the goods and to secure the goods to be packed and the workers, and no special labor is required for ensuring the safety. Further, the storage efficiency in the warehouse and the loading efficiency in the transport container can be increased by the amount by which the stacking of the packing material can be reduced.

When the concave and convex portions are circular, external force from any direction can be uniformly absorbed by their fitting, and positional displacement, load collapse, and overturn due to external forces from multiple directions during warehouse work or transportation. There is an advantage that it becomes easier to prevent

When the upper and lower surfaces of the upper and lower cushioning members are formed with grooves for receiving the packing object, the upper and lower cushioning members, and the fastening bands for fastening the outer box, the fastening bands are held in the grooves and the floor is held. Because there is no contact with the surface and there is no contact between the upper and lower stacked items,
Displacement and loosening of the packaged product when distortion occurs are suppressed, and damage to the packaged product due to rattling or cracking of the packaged product can be prevented.

[0012] The fastening band is located in the grooves on the upper and lower surfaces of the cushioning member, which are the surfaces where the package comes into contact with the floor surface and the surfaces where the packages come into contact when they are stacked. Sometimes, the fastening band of the package does not come into contact with the floor surface or the upper and lower packages, and the upper and lower packages do not catch on each other. Can be prevented.

If the inner surfaces on both sides of the groove are tapered so as to expand toward the opening, the fastening band can be easily fitted into the groove when the package is fastened with the fastening band. Regardless of the work, the work speeds up, and it helps to keep the fastening position constant when fastening by hand.
