Packing system, method of use, and method of manufacture

Abstract

A packing system for safely packing fragile household item for moving or storage. The packing system provides a number of packing devices which include a pair of ends bridged by a central portion, and a pair of elastic skirts along the central portion, all of which form a cup-like shape for receiving the fragile household item. A variety of sizes of the packing devices could be combined within a single kit. They could be color coded. An embodiment of the invention employs unused diapers as the packing devices. These could be donated or otherwise procured.
