Abstract
The preferred embodiment protective packaging (10) is directed to a protective packaging for hard taco shells (27). It is understood, however, that the present invention may be modified to provide an improved packaging container for other brittle yet perishable food substances. The packaging (10) includes a pad (11) having legs (12, 13, 14, 15) that are compressed when a force is exerted upon them without breaking the taco shells (27). The pad (11) covers an area greater than the area covered by the taco shells (27). The taco shells (27) are packaged in a nested arrangement, and the packaging (10) also utilizes a paper board U-shaped insert (35) placed in the opening of the end taco shell, which protects the shells (27) from breaking in side to side impact. The shells (27) are shrink-wrapped onto the pad (11) and the pad (11) is then placed inside a protective carton.
