Abstract
Packaging may include cushioning components. Cardboard corrugate cushioning elements may be configured with a folded cardboard spring, lateral stability wrap, and stiffening element. The cushioning components may include mechanical bends formed as creases, that provide resistance to deformation, thereby allowing the cushioning component to absorb impact and vibration, and replacing the need for less environmentally friendly cushioning, such as expanded polystyrene or foam cushioning.
