Abstract
Abstract A protective package is disclosed, in particular a package for transporting electrosensitive contents such as electronic components. The package includes a folded inner sheet disposed within a folded outer sheet. The two sheets are sealed together forming an inner pouch and at least one outer pouch. The inner pouch, which is used to contain the primary contents of the package, is defined by the folded inner sheet and the outer pouch, which is used to contain supporting documentation and material, is defined by both the inner and outer folded sheets. The inner sheet is made of a material, such as a laminate, which provides the contents of the inner pouch with additional protection from environmental factors such as static electricity, electromagnetic radiation or electric fields.
