Abstract

A string box and method of use thereof. The string box may be designed in any shape or size and be made up of any rigid material and the string may be designed in any shape or size and be made of any material such as cotton, cat gut, nylon, plastic, nanoparticle, graphine like material, atoms or any material within the realm of science and knowledge that would provide enough strength to act as a string type of material that can be used to suspend the object with enough strength to hold the item being shipped, stored or otherwise used so that the object being placed in the box is in suspension essentially keeping the object being damaged or hitting the sides of the container it is being shipped, stored or otherwise used in. The box is uniquely designed to allow for a simple one-step process using a box with an integrated string system that is used to suspend an article to be to be packaged. This completely protects the article and removes the need for air other gas, peanuts, foam, bubble wrap, paper or other fillers in boxes used for shipping goods once the box is closed.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for protecting an item being packaged otherwise comprising the steps of:
 providing a container having a hollow interior defined by a top wall, a bottom wall, and sidewalls interconnecting said top and bottom walls;   adapting said container to be opened and closed so that said item may be introduced into or removed from said container;   affixing an string to the interior of said container, said string is affixed to said sidewalls or sections of said container at such an angle as to suspend said item from touching or coming into contact with said interior of said container;   providing fluid communication between said string and said interior of container so that the said item being packaged is connected to the said string that is connected to the said container and said container is then closed.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising the step of:
 forming an additional opening in a wall of said container;   allowing said string to be pulled through the said wall of said container; and providing fluid communication between said article and said string so that said article being packaged is in attached to said string and the string can then be pulled through opening in said container and tightened to enable suspending said article from coming into contact with said walls of container.

 said step of affixing said string within said hollow interior of said container includes affixing said string to opposite walls, corners or sections of said container at a sufficient angle so the said item is not in fluid contact with said wall or side of container.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 said container formed of a rigid material.   
     
     
         5 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
