Abstract

A protective sleeve adapted to receive at least a first light bulb includes parallel first and second panels, wherein at least the second panel includes a plurality of apertures. The package also includes a pair of side walls generally perpendicular to and connecting the panels, wherein the first panel, the second panel, and the side walls together define an interior space. The second sleeve is adapted to receive at least a second bulb. When the sleeve and the second sleeve are received together into the housing in an upside-down orientation relative to each other, the respective second panels of the sleeve are adjacent to each other and the bulb portions of each of the first and second bulbs The sleeves are positioned to intrude into the interior space of an adjacent sleeve through at least one of the plurality of holes of each sleeve.

Description

Background technique [0001] Fragile items are protected in a wide variety of packaging types, from lightweight, inexpensive paper options to heavy-duty, protective shipping containers. Light bulbs are no different, and these household products come in a variety of packaging formats. [0002] Today, many current packaging solutions package bulbs in upright or nested configurations. Many products require form-fit packaging or other difficult-to-load designs. Other simpler packages do not have any features sufficient to adequately secure the bulb, resulting in a higher than acceptable failure rate. [0003] These traditional packaging solutions are often bulky and inefficient, resulting in wasted space within the package. Packaging inefficiencies can drive up costs in a number of ways. Larger packages typically use more material for walls, supports and dividers. What's more, larger packages are more expensive to ship because fewer bulbs can be contained in the same shipping ...
