• the lid is constituted by any substantially rectangular bottom with folded edges known to those skilled in the art and shaped to receive the package according to the present invention.
• the folding flaps operating in pairs make it possible to hold the article firmly in the package and to isolate it from the edges of the package in order to provide an anti-shock property.
• the fact that at least one A pair of legs is formed for the transverse edges and for the longitudinal edges to hold the article in both directions, ensuring optimal attachment of the article.
• the deformable nature of the tabs makes it possible to adapt to the shape of the article to be packaged.
• the flaps strengthen the edges and corners of the packaging. Once the bottom placed in the lid, the flaps form between the edges of the lid and the article of the empty cells able to absorb lateral shocks.
• the tight fit of the bottom in the cover helps to protect the article and strengthen the anti-shock side feature in combination with the flaps, to prevent the article from moving into the package.
• a reinforcing panel is disposed on the attachment face, between the attachment face and the article to be packaged.
• This reinforcing panel reinforces the lateral impact resistance of the bottom, creating an additional thickness, and reinforcing the impact resistance of the fastening face itself.
• the reinforcing panel is an insert on the attachment face, preferably bonded to the attachment face.
• the reinforcing panel is constituted by two sub-reinforcement panels, connected respectively along a first and a second fold line formed on two opposite edges of the bottom, each panel having in the direction perpendicular to the first and second fold line a dimension corresponding to half the dimension of the bottom in this direction, the two sub-panels being folded along said fold lines on the attachment face to thus form the reinforcement panel.
