Abstract
A fluorescent lamp or similary shaped fragile article is frictionally locked with a protective open-ended wrapper of tubular sleeve-like configuration by an inturned tab that constitutes a hinged part of the wrapper and is sandwiched between the inserted lamp and the wrapper wall. The wrapper is preferably fabricated from single-face corrugated paper and the tab is swingable about a hinge line such that the corrugations of the inturned tab extend transversely with respect to and thus do not nest with the corrugations of the wrapper, thereby enhancing the effectiveness of the tab as an integral article-retaining means.
