Abstract
One or more lamp bulbs are protectively packaged by inserting them into an open-ended wrapper of single-faced corrugated paperboard and slip-fitting the resulting lamp pack into an open-ended boxboard sleeve that overlies and closes the open ends of the wrapper. The sleeve has oppositely disposed corner portions with inwardly bowed flexible junctures of such curvature that they exert a wedging force on the associated end edges of the inserted wrapper. The resulting clamping action frictionally locks the wrapper and the contained lamp bulbs within the boxboard sleeve despite the smooth surfaces of the latter.
