Abstract:
An apparatus packaging enclosure comprising:end members having inside surfaces and having a desired configuration to define a cross-sectional shape including a desired height and width to said packaging enclosure;spaced-apart elongate fastener members extending longitudinally between said end members to define therewith a desired length to said packaging enclosure; means securing opposite ends of said fastener members to said inside surfaces of respective end members at generally outer peripheral areas of said end members;elongate flexible panels extending between said end members and around the outside of said fastener members to define outside surfaces of said packaging enclosure; means securing longitudinal edges of said panels to said fastener members; andsaid panels being positioned with end edges thereof in abutting relationship with said inside surfaces of said end members, and said flexible panels being slightly longer in longitudinal dimension than said fastener members, so that when said apparatus packaging enclosure is assembled and said fastener members secured to said end members by said securing means, said panels will be in compression and said fastener members will be in tension enhancing desired structural characteristics of said packaging enclosure.
