Claim:
1. A packaging assembly comprising: a bulk box having a wall arranged around a perimeter of a box bottom and an aperture opposite the box bottom, the wall and the box bottom creating a cavity, the bulk box to receive product in the cavity via the aperture; and a shuttle tray having a rim arranged around a perimeter of a tray bottom, the tray bottom of the shuttle tray including tray apertures, the shuttle tray movably disposed in the cavity proximate to the aperture of the bulk box, the tray apertures to relieve an air pressure in the cavity caused by the shuttle tray moving within the cavity and toward the box bottom of the bulk box as a result of an accumulation of the product dispensed into the bulk box, the shuttle tray to provide a first coefficient of friction between a rim of the shuttle tray and the wall of the bulk box, and the shuttle tray further having tabs arranged around the perimeter of the tray bottom of the shuttle tray protruding from an outside surface of the rim to provide a second coefficient of friction between the shuttle tray and the wall of the bulk box, wherein the shuttle tray is arranged in the bulk box to dampen a kinetic energy of the product received by the bulk box.
