Abstract

A buffer packing apparatus for packing a plurality of objects is provided. The buffer packing apparatus comprises a plurality of rectangular partition boards and a plurality of buffer columns. The rectangular partition boards form a plurality of compartments for buffering and accommodating the objects. Through the selection of different buffer column designs, orientation of the objects inside the buffer packing apparatus can be easily identified. With chamfers on every corner of the buffer packing apparatus, the shock produced by an external impact can be readily absorbed thereby increasing the buffering capacity of the packing.
