Abstract

A series of packaging designs are provided, comprising relatively rigid sheets surrounded by a resilient element, such as a sleeve or tube. The relatively rigid sheets may have appropriately configured end panels, side panels, fold lines, divider panels, or other desired features. Products may be secured inside the sleeve, against the relatively rigid sheet, or against the outside of the sleeve.
