Abstract:
A modular packaging system (10) for shipping and displaying palletized products (14) comprising vertically arranged trays (12) for holding the products (14), tubular outer spacer sleeves (16) located over openings (24) in each tray (24) such that their hollow interiors communicate with the openings (24), and inner support posts (18) inserted inside the outer spacer sleeves (16) and through the tray openings (24) to lock the system (10) together. The system (10) is strong enough not only to support the weight of the products (14) on the trays (12) and withstand the vibration and impact forces that can occur during shipping, but also to withstand the weight of one or more units (10) stacked on top.
