A packaging system for substantially planar objects such as paintings and prints is disclosed which has two major components made of expanded plastic such as polystyrene foam. The two major components may be a bottom with a lid, two bottoms or two lids. The two major components are sealed around the object with flexible adhesive tape. The outside of the container so formed may be covered with a plastic coating to protect the expanded plastic from damage and soiling and the two major components may be joined by a hinge. Impact strips of plastic foam are provided to protect the artwork from impact forces and plastic foam cushions and expanded plastic spacers are used to securely fasten and protect the artwork.

In combination, a substantially rigid bottom of expanded plastic and a complementary substantially planar and rigid lid of expanded plastic, the bottom and the lid each having exterior edges and corners and the bottom internally defining an open-faced cavity having sides and a polygonal inside surface, the open-faced cavity being adapted to receive through the open face and contain a substantially planar object, the lid being so dimensioned that it may be placed over the open face of the cavity in the bottom to cover the same and at least one strip of adhesive plastic tape may be placed over and along an outside juncture of the bottom and the lid in order to detachably secure the lid to the bottom and seal the cavity, the bottom and the lid each having a protective plastic coating on the edges and corners to resist chipping and cracking and an impact absorption means adapted to be placed within the cavity and between the object and at least one side of the cavity in order to absorb impact forces transmitted from the side of the cavity to the object.
