Abstract

Packaging for elongate objects such as a screw (20, 30) having a head (21) of enlarged diameter and a bolt part (23, 24) having reduced diameter. The packaging (1) includes a packaging sleeve that is open at at least one end and that is made of an elastically bendable material. The packaging sleeve has at least one upper insertion opening (2) and securely holds the head (21) of the object screw (20) in an axial direction in an elastically expandable clamping collar (5) that is adjacent to the insertion opening (2) and maintains the bolt-side end of the object at a distance from the inside of the plastic packaging.
