Abstract
Packaging for a ski and a process of packaging the ski. The packaging provides an attractive envelope for the ski and protects the ski from the time it is manufactured until its retail sale, and further, until the ski is first used, i.e., even after the bindings are mounted thereon. The packaging protects and surrounds all parts of the ski and includes a sleeve of thermo-shrinkable plastic material. At areas upon which the ski bindings are to be mounted, zones of reduced resistance to tearing are produced so that, at the place of distribution of the skis, such zones can be conveniently removed without the removal of the remainder of the packaging. The process includes the steps of introducing a ski into a sleeve; closing the ends of the sleeve by, e.g., welding; and passing the ski wrapped in the sleeve through a thermo-shrinking tunnel.
