Abstract:
1. A packing tray to cradle a linear lamp comprising: a molded sheet of plastic resin having a first side and a second side defining an axis extending from the first side to the second side, the first side of the tray being formed with projections defining at least one horizontal cradle extending across a width of the packing tray wherein a first projection and a second projection are substantially parallel along the entire length of the first projection and the second projection and provide the cradle with a cross-sectional shape and the cross-sectional shape extends along the entire width of the molded sheet bound by the first projection and the second projection, the second side of the tray being formed with recesses symmetrically corresponding to the projections, whereby a first side of a first tray may be substantially nested into a second side of a similarly formed second tray when similarly oriented, and some or all of the projections and the corresponding recesses are not symmetrically formed with respect to a 180 degree rotation of the tray around the axis, whereby the first side of a first tray may be stacked on a second side of a similarly formed second tray when rotated 180 degrees around the axis without substantial nesting of the first tray into the second tray.
