Packaging with Three-Dimensional Loop Material

Abstract

The present disclosure provides a packaging article. In an embodiment, the packaging article includes (A) a container having (i) a top wall and a bottom wall and (ii) a plurality sidewalls extending between the top wall and bottom wall. The walls define a compartment. The packaging article includes (B) an upper sheet in the compartment, the upper sheet composed of 3-dimensional random loop material (3DRLM). The upper sheet extends between and contacts two opposing sidewalls of the container. The packaging article includes (C) a lower sheet in the compartment, the lower sheet composed of 3DRLM. The lower sheet extends between and contacts two opposing sidewalls of the container. The two sheets are in opposing relation to each other. The packaging article includes (D) a product disposed between the upper sheet and the lower sheet.

1 . A packaging article comprising:
 A. a container having
 (i) a top wall and a bottom wall; 
 (ii) a plurality sidewalls extending between the top wall and bottom wall, the walls defining a compartment; 
   B. an upper sheet in the compartment, the upper sheet composed of 3-dimensional random loop material (3DRLM), the upper sheet extending between and contacting two opposing sidewalls of the container;   C. a lower sheet in the compartment, the lower sheet composed of 3DRLM, the lower sheet extending between and contacting two opposing sidewalls of the container, the two sheets in opposing relation to each other; and   D. a product disposed between the upper sheet and the lower sheet.   
     
     
         2 . The article of  claim 1  wherein the container comprises four sidewalls; and
 at least one sheet extends between and contacts each of the four sidewalls. 
 
     
     
         3 . The article of  claim 1  wherein at least one of the first sheet and the second sheet move from a neutral state to a compressed state around the product, when the container is in a closed configuration. 
     
     
         4 . The article of  claim 3  wherein a portion of the first sleeve contacts a portion of the second sleeve when the container is in a closed configuration. 
     
     
         5 . The article of  claim 4  wherein 3DRLM from the first sheet and 3DRLM from the second sheet completely surrounds a perimeter of the product when the container is viewed from (i) a plan view and (ii) from a sectional view. 
     
     
         6 . The article of  claim 5  wherein the two sheets compressively hold the product in a stationary position in the container. 
     
     
         7 . The article of  claim 1  wherein at least one sheet comprises a cut-out portion, the cut-out portion configured to receive at least a portion the product. 
     
     
         8 . The article of  claim 1  wherein the product is a consumer electronics product. 
     
     
         9 . The article of  claim 1  wherein the product is a comestible. 
     
     
         10 . A packaging article comprising:
 A. a container having
 (i) a top wall and a bottom wall; 
 (ii) an optional sidewall extending between the top wall and the bottom wall, the walls defining a compartment with four corners; 
   B. a first set of mated strips and a second set of mated strips in the compartment, each set comprising an upper strip and a lower strip, the upper strip and the lower strip in opposing relation to each other, each strip composed of 3-dimensional random loop material (3DRLM);   C. each set extending between two opposing sides of the compartment, the sets spaced apart and in parallel relation to each other; and   D. a product extending across the two sets, the product disposed between the upper strips and the lower strips.   
     
     
         11 . The article of  claim 10  wherein at least one strip moves from a neutral state to a compressed state around the product, when the container is in a closed configuration; and
 the sets compressively hold the product in a stationary position in the container. 
 
     
     
         12 . The article of  claim 11  wherein for each set a portion of the upper strip contacts a portion of the lower strip when the container is in the closed configuration. 
     
     
         13 . The article of  claim 10  wherein each strip comprises a cut-out portion for receiving the product. 
     
     
         14 . The article of  claim 10  wherein the product is a consumer electronics product.
