Abstract

A packaging system included a support member and a packing component. The support member includes a base, a head portion, and a leg. The head portion extends from the base in a first direction. The leg extends from the base in a second direction opposite the first direction. The packing component includes a first portion and a second portion. The first portion defines a first aperture configured to receive the leg. The second portion defines a second aperture configured to receive the head portion.

Claims (18)

1. A packaging system comprising:

a support member having a base, a head portion, a first leg, and a primary leg, the head portion extending from the base in a first direction, the first leg extending from the base in a second direction opposite the first direction, and the primary leg extending from the base in the second direction; and

a packing component having a first portion and a second portion, the first portion defining a first aperture configured to receive the first leg, the second portion defining a second aperture defined in part by an edge and configured to receive the head portion, wherein the primary leg engages the edge.

2. The packaging system of claim 1 , wherein the packing component includes an upper surface engaging the base.

3. The packaging system of claim 1 , wherein the packing component includes a first upper surface and a second upper surface, and the base includes an upper surface and a lower surface, and wherein the first upper surface is configured to engage the upper surface of the base, and the second upper surface is configured to engage the lower surface of the base.

4. The packaging system of claim 3 , wherein the first upper surface is coplanar with the second upper surface.

5. The packaging system of claim 3 , wherein the packing component defines an axis extending along the first upper surface and the second upper surface.

6. The packaging system of claim 5 , wherein the packing component defines one or more perforations disposed along the axis.

7. The packaging system of claim 5 , wherein the edge extends along the axis.

8. The packaging system of claim 1 , wherein (i) the first leg is disposed within the first aperture, (ii) the head portion is disposed within the second aperture, (iii) the first portion of the packing component faces a first side of the base, and (iv) the second portion of the packing component faces a second side of the base, the second side being opposite the first side.

9. The packaging system of claim 8 , wherein the packing component defines a fold extending between the first portion and the second portion.

10. A packaging system comprising:

a support member having a base, a head portion, a first leg, and a primary leg, the head portion extending from the base in a first direction, the first leg extending from the base in a second direction opposite the first direction, and the primary leg extending from the base in the second direction; and

a packing component defining a first aperture and a second aperture, the second aperture defined in part by an edge,

wherein the first leg is disposed within the first aperture,

wherein the head portion is disposed within the second aperture, and

wherein the primary leg engages the edge.

11. The packaging system of claim 10 , wherein the base includes an upper surface and a lower surface, and wherein the packing component includes an upper surface engaging the upper surface of the base and the lower surface of the base.
