Patent ID: 7878329

Claim:
A shipping box system, comprising: a plurality of walls constructed from cardboard and defining a volume substantially in the form of a cuboid; a rigid base near a first wall of the plurality of walls adapted to resist motion relative to the first wall; a rigid mount attached to the rigid base and adapted to connect with a shipped item to be placed in the volume, wherein the rigid mount extends from a portion of the rigid base near a first end of the first wall to a portion of the rigid base near a second end of the first wall that is opposed to the first end of the first wall, and a shipped item rigidly attached to the rigid mount from a first side of the shipped item with mounting structures that are part of the shipped item attaching the shipped item to the rigid mount, wherein a side of the shipped item, which is opposed to the first side, is not attached to the shipping box system so that it extends in free space in the cuboid volume, the plurality of walls are configured to create a free space around the shipped item so as to prevent damaging contact with a substantial portion of the shipped item, and portions of the shipped item that do not contact the rigid mount are out of contact with any portion of the shipping box system, so as to prevent injury to the portions of the shipped item caused by distortion of the shipping box system during shipping.
