Abstract
There is provided an inflatable cushion inflated through a single inflation valve and having a pocket. The inflatable packaging cushion is made of flexible thermoplastic material adapted to be at least partially charged with air and including a containment portion, an article-holding portion, a hinged portion interconnected to the padded portion and the padded portion. A pocket is formed integrally with the article-holding portion for holding an article. There are a plurality of internal openings in the hinged portion to facilitate the containment portion being folded over the article-holding portion. The containment portion protecting the article folds across and covers a major portion of the top of the article which is in the pouch of the article-holding portion. The containment portion has an internal opening in the middle thereof formed by a seam. The opening prevents over-inflation of the containment portion and keeps that portion from becoming too bulky. In another embodiment, the article-holding portion has an internal opening.
