Abstract

A packing buffer member of the present invention is a packing buffer member 200 or 300 that is to be placed inside a pack 400 with an object to be packed 100, and includes first hollow convex parts 210, 220, 230 and 240 (third hollow convex parts 310, 320, 330 and 340 ) that are formed in a first direction relative to a forming base surface 201 or 301 and that contact with the object to be packed 100 to hold the object to be packed 100 and second hollow convex parts 250, 260, 270 and 280 (the fourth hollow convex parts 350, 360, 370 and 380 ) that are formed in a second direction opposite to the first direction relative to the forming base surface 201 or 301 and that contact inside the pack.

a holding part that holds an upper surface or a lower surface of the object to be packed, the holding part being formed so as to protrude in the second direction relative to the forming base surface; and

a buffer part that is formed so as to protrude in the second direction relative to the holding part and that contacts inside the pack,

wherein the first hollow convex parts and the second hollow convex parts are alternately arranged in a circumferential direction of the holding part, and

wherein the second hollow convex parts are arranged at four corners of the packing buffer member.
