Dunnage structure with plastically deformed areas

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a structure (1) for use as dunnage, having a length (L) along a first axis (A1), a width (W) along a second axis (A2), and a height (H) along a third axis (A3). The first and second axes (A1, A2) extend perpendicular to each other in a first plane (P1), with the third axis (A3) perpendicular to the first plane (P1). The structure (1) comprises a substrate (2) with a plurality of plastically deformed areas (3) having three-dimensional shapes. Each plastically deformed area (3) includes multiple facets (4) extending from an apex point (5). Each facet (4) comprises a surface section (12) wherein two edges of said surface section (12) extend at an internal angle (γ1) as seen from said apex point (5), a sum (γ2) of all internal angles (γ1) of each plastically deformed area (3) ≠ 360°.
