"The patent describes a packing structure for items that includes a lower tray, an upper tray, and impact-dampening pieces. The impact-dampening pieces are placed on the exterior surface of the item and the lower tray, and the upper tray covers the item. A transparent cover covers the lower tray, the upper tray, and the impact-dampening pieces. The impact-dampening pieces may include corner pieces, horizontal and vertical crossbars, and other forms. The transparent cover may be a single piece with an opening that provides compression forces to push the tray and the impact-dampening pieces inward. The technical effect of this packing structure is to provide effective protection for the item during transportation and to prevent damage during impacts."
Problems solved by technology
This typical packing approach does not sufficiently protect the packaged items from the hazards of shipping / storage, such as, e.g., shock, vibration, compression, moisture, and the like.
The shortcomings of these packing approaches have resulted in a large and growing amount of damage to the packaged items during transport or storage.

Abstract
A packing structure includes a lower tray that covers a bottom portion of an item; an upper tray that covers a top portion of the item; a plurality of impact-dampening pieces that are placed on an exterior surface of the item; and a transparent cover that covers the lower tray, the upper tray and the plurality of impact-dampening pieces, wherein the exterior surface of the item is visible from outside the packing structure.
Description
CROSS REFERENCE TO PRIOR APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit from U.S. Provisional Application No. 61 / 391,394 filed on Oct. 8, 2011, which is hereby incorporated herein by reference for all purposes as if fully set forth herein.FIELD OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]This disclosure relates to a system and process for packing a large item for shipping and storage, and more particularly to a packing structure and a method for packing a large item for shipping or storage.RELATED ART[0003]Everyday thousands of large items, such as, e.g., articles of furniture, home appliances, musical instruments, etc., are being packed and shipped from factories, warehouses and retailers to nearby or remote locations by truck, ship, airplane and the like. These large items are typically packed using several foam pieces and one or more corrugated boxes. This typical packing approach does not sufficiently protect the packaged items from the hazards of shipping / storage, such as, e.g., shock, vibra...
