Abstract
A packaging item is provided, wherein a resilient element supports, suspends and/or holds down an item or items to be shipped. The resilient element may be attached to a platform or strap flap of a relatively rigid sheet. For example, the resilient element may comprise a plastic film glued to a sheet of corrugated cardboard. The sheet may have different shapes, apertures, and/or item loading sites to accommodate variously shaped items. The packaging item may be an insert for a box or a shipping folder.
