Abstract

Photographic film, paper, etc. in sheet form is packaged in recyclable containers or cases for reuse by returning to suppliers for filling. Containers obviate disposal problems and high costs associated with customary two-part set-up box and interior padding. Plastic cases comprise a base section in the form of a tray-like structure with an open bed for a film stack, etc. Case has built-in structural features for rigidity, crush resistance, impact protection, and air, dust and light tight seal when used with a cover section. Such environmentally friendly designs are suitable as low cost, reusable one-size plastic containers for packaging standard size sheet products. For packaging special, less frequently called-for size films, papers, etc., interiors may be made infinitely adjustable with rows of parallel channels for placement of at least one chocking element.
