Abstract
An integrally cushioned box includes a plurality of panels collectively bounding an accommodation space for accommodating at least one item. At least some of such panels have integrally formed structures for holding the item accommodated in a resilient manner at a distance from the respective panel. Each such holding structure includes for each respective one of the panels an additional panel situated in the accommodation space in an erected condition of the box and connected with the respective panel such as to keep the additional panel at a distance from the respective panel. The distancing of the two associated panels from one another may be achieved by using a distancing flap integral with the respective panel.
