Abstract
A suspension package includes a frame having an upper part and lower part. The lower part has four corner posts and at least one bay defining element that is hinged to the corner posts to move between an operational position and a storage position. The bay defining element includes at least one flexible suspension sheet that extends across bays defined by the element. The upper part includes at least one upper flexible suspension sheet, and is mounted to move between an open position, in which the bays are exposed to allow a product to be inserted into and removed from the bay, and the closed position, in which the suspension sheets suspend the product within the frame. A tensioning device releasably holds the upper part in the closed position and tensions the suspension sheets. The package is preferably used with a collapsible enclosure.
