To provide improved protection for a fragile or delicate article in the event that an inflated packaging structure in which the article is disposed for transportation is punctured there is provided a light weight, simple and inexpensive inflatable packaging structure in which an inflatable inner liner attached within an outer envelope comprises two inflatable zones each incorporating a plurality of inflatable cells, with the cells of one of the zones alternating with the cells of the other zone. Thus, with the inner liner inflated and the fragile or delicate article disposed between two superposed layers of the liner the article is still substantially protected by the inflated cells of one of the zones even if the other zone is punctured.
