Abstract
A packaging structure for holding an object securely against a rigid backing. The structure includes a substantially rigid panel having a first pair of fold lines defining respective folding side portions, a second pair of fold lines defining respective folding end portions oriented transverse to the folding side portions, and a center portion. A flexible film material is superimposed on one surface of the rigid panel and extends onto at least one of the folding side portions. The ends of the film material are connected to the rigid panel, with at least one end connected to one of the folding side portions. The folding side portions and folding end portions may include one or more lock tabs or lateral extensions for spacing the center portion of the rigid panel from the bottom and/or sidewalls of an outer box.
