Abstract
A fragility package having a pair of shell halves. The shell halves cooperatively define an envelope for closely retaining the article to be packaged and a plurality of fragility supports that extend outwardly beyond the envelope to protect the article from impacts. The package is preferably manufactured from a transparent material, such as an impact-modified polymer, that permits the article to be visually inspected without opening the package. The top and bottom surfaces of the package are shaped so that adjacent packages nest together when stacked one atop the other.
