An upper carton that covers and holds the lower carton and holds the lower carton over the whole of them, so that the front surface or the back surface of the lower carton and the lower pad can be opened when the upper carton is removed. By doing so, it becomes possible to move the PDP horizontally from the front surface or the back surface and loosely insert it into the lower pad without lifting the height of the lower carton or the lower pad, so that a large PDP can be packed by one person. Therefore, the packing and unpacking work becomes easy.

At least one of the front surface and the back surface of the lower carton is separated from both side surfaces so that the front surface or the back surface can be opened substantially parallel to the bottom surface when the PDP is packed or unpacked. The structure can be opened at the front or back.

At least one of the front surface and the back surface of the lower pad is separated from both side surfaces and the bottom surface, and one of the cut surfaces between the front surface or the back surface and both side surfaces has a wide cross section and is a substantially wedge-shaped vertical groove. On the other cut surface, a substantially wedge-shaped coupling part having a wide cross-section that fits in the groove is projected, and after loosely inserting the PDP into the lower pad, the front side or the back side is connected to the coupling side. By having the structure in which the portion is fitted into the groove from the upper side to configure the front surface or the back surface of the lower pad, the front surface or the back surface can be opened without impairing the function of the cushioning material.

At least one surface of the front surface or the back surface of the lower pad is separated from the both side surfaces and the bottom surface while leaving a part of the walls of the both side surfaces in the front surface or the back surface, and between the cut surfaces of the front surface or the back surface and the walls of both the side surfaces One side is provided with a vertical groove, and the other cut surface is provided with an engaging portion that fits into the groove. After loosely inserting the PDP into the lower pad, the front surface or the back surface is provided with the engaging portion. The structure for forming the front surface or the back surface of the lower pad by inserting it into the groove from the upper side simplifies the structure for opening the front surface or the back surface.

The lower pad is separated from both sides and the bottom surface of the front surface or the back surface, leaving a part of the bottom surface to be the bottom portion of the front surface or the back surface, and a portion corresponding to the bottom portion of the front surface or the flat surface. When the front surface or the back surface is fitted into the groove from the upper side to form the front surface or the rear surface of the lower pad, the bottom surface is fitted with the front surface or the back surface. By making it a structure to stop,
The back surface of the lower pad, which can be opened, can be firmly held.

At least one of the front surface or the back surface of the lower pad is separated from the both side surfaces and the bottom surface leaving the both side surfaces and the bottom surface, and one longitudinal groove is provided between the front surface or the back surface and both side surfaces. An engaging portion that fits in the same groove is projected on the other cut surface, and after loosely inserting the PDP into the lower pad, the front surface or the back surface is inserted into the groove from the upper side and the lower pad is inserted. With the structure that constitutes the front surface or the back surface of the above, the structure for opening the front surface or the back surface can be further simplified.
