Claim:
A packaging device for packaging at least one object that is essentially flat, in particular a valuable technical object, such as a lithium ion cell, comprising: a bottom plate having at least one first side rim, which is linear in regard to at least a part thereof, and at least one first cover plate having at least one first side rim which is linear in regard to at least one part thereof, which is hingeably linked to the first side rim of the bottom plate such that the at least one first cover plate can be hinged between a closed position in which the at least one first cover plate at least partially covers the bottom plate, and an open position in which the at least one first cover plate is not opposite to the bottom plate, wherein the bottom plate comprises a cushioning layer on one side, wherein the cushioned side faces the object when said object is in the packaging and the at least one first cover plate is in the closed position, wherein the cushioning layer is formed such that the object is held in a no-slip position in respect to lateral shifting, when the at least one first cover plate is in the closed position and at least a partial area of the object is positioned between the at least one first cover plate and the bottom plate; a single pocket to hold the entire flat object therein, in the cushioning layer of the bottom plate, and/or in cushioning layers of the at least one first cover plate, which is adapted for inserting and taking the flat object; and a second cover plate having a first side rim which is linear in regard to at least a part thereof, wherein the first side rim of the second cover plate is hingeably linked to a second side rim of the bottom plate, which is linear in regard to at least a part thereof, and which is opposite to said first side rim of the bottom plate such that the second cover plate can be hinged between a closed position in which the second cover plate at least partially covers the bottom plate and an open position in which the second cover plate is not opposite to the bottom plate, wherein at least one of the first cover plate, the second cover plate, and the bottom plate comprise at least one recess, which is provided along at least one side rim of the respective plate, and wherein the bottom plate comprises at least one recess, the at least one recess in the bottom being essentially congruent to a respective recess in the first cover plate and the second plate, when the first cover plate and the second cover plate are in the closed position.
