Abstract
A packaging system (10) includes a box (14) in which there are at least three layers (22, 24, 26) of shock absorbing packaging material, most typically, flexible polyurethane foam sheets. The bottom layer (22) is typically a plain sheet of packaging material as is the top layer (26), however, the middle layer (24) comprises an outer 'frame' portion (30) with a series of perforations defining a matrix (28) of sub-units or pieces (28a) in its centre (28). In use, an object (12) to be packaged and shipped, is placed on the middle layer (24) to determine its size and shape and an appropriate number of pieces (28a) are then removed or separated from the middle layer to define a cavity having a similar size and shape to the object (12) to be packaged which is then placed in the cavity. Any gaps between the object (12) and the cavity can be filled with removed pieces to further secure the object (12) in the cavity. The top layer (26) can then be placed on top of the middle layer so that the object is securely sandwiched within the packaging layers in the box (14) which can then be closed and sealed with a label (50) for shipping. The system (10) allows objects (12) in various shapes and sizes to be packed and securely protected for shipping within a box.

Detailed Description of Preferred Embodiments
Referring to the drawings, Figures 1 to 4 show a packaging system, generally indicated at 10 for use in securely packaging an object 12. The packaging system includes a rectangular box 14 which may be made of any suitable material such as corrugated paper which defines an enclosure 16 for receiving layers of packaging and the object, side flaps 18 and a lid 20.
The Figures also show that the packaging system includes three layers of packaging material in the form of sheets of material, namely, a base layer of packaging material 22, a middle layer of packaging material 24, and a top layer of packaging material 26.
The middle layer or sheet 24 has been cut/perforated to define a matrix 28 of sub-units in the form of pieces 28a in its centre, surrounded by an external "frame" 30. The perforation/cutting of the central portion may be such that the pieces 28a are either conjoined to one another by relatively thin frangible portions (see Figures 1 Ia to l id), or are not joined but are retained in the middle layer by the operation of friction and the external frame 30.
The layers of packaging may be formed from any suitable material including most preferably flexible polyurethane foamed sheets, but also foamed polyethylene sheets, expanded polystyrene or any other suitable shock-absorbing packaging material may be used.
Typically, the packaging system will be sold as one unit with the layers 22, 24, 26 incorporated in the box 14, together with a label 50.
In order to use the system to package an object/item, the lid 20 of the box is opened and the side flaps 18 are pushed back so that the top layer 26 may be removed to reveal the middle layer 24.
The object 12 to be packed is then placed on the surface of the middle 24 to map out the object's shape and size relative to the matrix of pieces 28a forming the middle layer. hi the next step, an appropriate number of the perforated sub-units 28a are removed so that a space 40 is defined which generally matches the shape of the object 12. Thus, a cavity 40 is formed in the centre of the middle layer 24 which is similar to the shape and size of the object 12 to be packed. The object is then placed in that cavity 40, as shown in Figure 3.
If there are any excessive gaps between the object 12 and the sides of the cavity, one or more of the pieces 28a which have been removed may be placed in the gaps to further secure the object. Next, the top layer 26 is placed back on top of the middle layer 24 and, with reference to Figure 4, the lid 20 of the box 14 is closed and the lid 20 is secured with a label 50, provided. The object is now secured packaged, ready for shipping.
Figures 5 to 8 illustrate a second embodiment of the present invention in which the packaging system is similar to that of Figure 1, and in which identical components share the same reference numerals. However, in the second embodiment, instead of one middle sheet 24, there are two, relatively thinner middle sheets 24a, 24b. Again the middle sheets define external frames 30 surrounding a matrix of individual pieces or sub-units 28a formed by perforating or cutting the central portion 28 of each middle sheet 24a, 24b. The use of two middle sheets allows for the secure packaging of objects having more complex shapes.
Figures 5 to 8 show the packaging system used to package an object such as a camera 60. The box 14 is first opened and the top layer 26 and the first or uppermost middle layer 24a are removed to reveal the top surface of the second or lowermost middle layer 24b. The item/object to be packed, in this case the camera 60, is then placed on the upper surface of the layer 24b to map out the size and shape of the camera body relative to the matrix of pieces of the middle layer 24b.
A suitable number of pieces 28a are then removed from the layer 24b according to the mapped size and shape of the camera body from the previous step to define a first cavity 40b.
The object (specifically the camera body, in this case) is then placed in the cavity 40b, and if there are any excessive gaps between the object and the cavity, removed pieces 28a may be used to fill up the gaps to secure the object in the cavity.
Layer 24a is then placed on top of the layer 24b with the object in the cavity to map out the size and shape of any portion of the object ( in this case the camera lens) which is protruding from the layer 24b.
Next, appropriate sections of the perforated pieces are removed from layer 24a to create a second cavity 40a to suit the size and shape of the protruding portion of the object. The layer 24a is then placed in the cavity on top of the protruding parts of the object and if there is any excessive free space, removed pieces may once again be used to fill up the gaps to further secure the object in the cavity. The top layer is then placed back in its original place and the lid 20 closed and the box secured with the label 50. The object is now ready for shipping.
It will be appreciated that the size, shape and number of removable pieces in the middle sheet or sheets may be varied.
For example, Figures 10a and 10b illustrate a middle sheet/layer 70 in which defines an outer frame 72 and a series of perforated rings 74, 76, rather than a matrix of perforated pieces. The Figure shows rectangular rings although these could also be round, oval or any other shape.
Figures 11a to Hd show plan views of different shapes of perforated pieces spaced and cut within the centre of the middle sheet/layer including a rectangular sheet defining a matrix array of squares 24 (as used above), a circular sheet 80 also defining a matrix of squares and some triangles, a rectangular sheet 90 defining a matrix of honeycomb shaped pieces, and a rectangular sheet 100 defining a matrix of triangular pieces. Other variations are possible. The Figures also show frangible portions 110 which are broken when the pieces are removed from the sheets.
It will be appreciated by persons skilled in the art that numerous variations and/or modifications may be made to the invention as shown in the specific embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as broadly described. The present embodiments are, therefore, to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive.
