Packaging, process and set for stretch hood packaging of household appliances

摘要

A package, a method and a kit for a stretch hood packaging structure for an appliance on a semi-flexible shock-absorbing base. At least two pair of posts are assembled on the base, at least two of which can pivot with each of the post received within pockets of the base. A stretch hood then is installed over the package to engage the bottom of the base. The posts pivot to provide an interference fit on the base to prevent deformation of the base corners and maintain a flat bottom on the base for the completed package.
