Abstract:
1. A method of protecting a fruit, comprising the steps of: a. positioning said fruit on a substantially planar surface of a resiliently compressible force absorption material; b. conforming said substantially planar surface of said resiliently compressible force absorption material to a portion of the exterior surface of said fruit; c. obtaining sufficient frictional engagement between said substantially planar surface of said resiliently compressible force absorption material conformed to said portion of the exterior surface of said fruit to retain said fruit within said resiliently compressible force absorption material; and d. engaging a closure to maintain said sufficient frictional engagement between said planar surface of said resiliently compressible force absorption material conformed to said portion of the exterior surface of said fruit to retain said fruit within said resiliently compressible force absorption material.
