Claim:
A package assembly, the assembly comprising: a container comprising inside surfaces, a packaging assembly comprising an arched member disposed within said container, and wherein said arched member provides suspension within the container, wherein said arched member comprises an arched portion and vertical portions disposed on opposing ends of said arched portion, such that the arched portion is in direct mechanical communication with the vertical portions so that said arched portion is directly supported by said vertical portions, to thereby suspend a packaged article away from said inside surfaces of said container, when said packaging assembly is disposed within said container, wherein said arched member further comprises a resilient member, a retention member and a framing member, which are distinct, individual components that are configured as layers that together form said arched portion of said arched member, wherein said framing member comprises an opening, and wherein the article is located between the resilient member on one side and the retention member and the framing member on the opposite side, such that the packaging assembly is assembled by bringing the resilient member into contact with the framing member, thereby forcing the retention member to conform to the shape of the article as the article is forced through the opening of the framing member.
