Reusable and recyclable packaging for shock and static sensitive objects

Abstract

The invention provides a dissembleable and reusable package is provided for static, debris and shock sensitive objects. The package comprises a folding box of single piece static dissipative corrugated plastic interlocking configuration. The box has an interlocking bottom, an open top and two pairs of parallel opposite sides. A shock absorbing pad structure fits against the central portions of the sides. The pad structure is a solid self-skinning plastic foam which is static dissipative. It is detachably attachable against the sides utilizing fasteners. A shock absorbing plastic bottom pad fits inside of the box atop its bottom. An open top static dissipative plastic bag fits within the box atop the shock absorbing bottom pad and substantially lines the box. A sensitive object holding structure includes first and second pluralities of static dissipative corrugated plastic walls which interlock with one another, the pluralities of walls being mutually perpendicular. The walls are releasably interlockable with one another and, when interlocked, define a plurality of cavities, each of which is adapted to closely hold one of the sensitive objects. The sensitive object holding structure is of a size to fit within the bag and, when the bag is pushed within the box, is of a size such that the respective opposite ends of the walls are closely adjacent the interiors of the sides of the box.
