The present invention provides an improved packaging method and apparatus. An item enclosed in the V-Pack is shipped or stored in such a way that there is no extra space inside. This is accomplished by specially formulated foam included in each box. In this manner, internal damage to goods is rendered impossible. In addition, an extra layer of foam protects the item or items from damage by external elements, such as moisture and extreme cold or warm temperatures. Any excess air inside the chamber where the items are located, is removed by an external pump, creating a vacuum effect, which provides for the item's safe storage conditions. To facilitate the vacuum action, a valve is provided in two sections on the packaging box.

1. A method and apparatus for protective package and shipping device, comprising: wrapping an item being shipped or stored in protective paper of fabric;placing the item on the surface of Stand 1, wherein Stand 1 comprises a T-shaped construction having an integrated roller and further having a constricting coil with a line or string tied around it, further comprising a handle at the end of the string, thus surrounding the contours of the item, wherein the item is further secured by a line or string that is slightly pulled together, encircling the surface of this item, then inserting a handle located at the end of the line or string into a provided slot located on the opposite side of Stand 1, and a roller apparatus is then fixed into place;connecting and closing Stand 1 and Stand 2 and placing inside a box together, wherein Stand 2 is a connecting part, and opener with walls labeled A, B, and C, having spikes for capturing foam material which is injected into the box; wherein the walls of Stand 2 are perforated with holes of a diameter large enough so that foam material can seep through them and get behind the walls of Stand 2; further; a runner at the bottom part of the box is provided connecting a the vacuum pump to the valve of Stand 2, and wherein the top part of the box comprises a runner to connect the container with the foam; and wherein the top and bottom parts of the box are connected and closed hermetically by provided clasps or locks, and the foam is dispensed under a specific level of pressure, wherein when the foam material solidifies, the vacuuming effect between Stand 1 and Stand 2 is created by a pump, enabling the opening of Stand 1 and the creation of the vacuum within the entire inner space, where the item is located; and wherein the top part of the box is then removed, and the airtight package of foam material is pushed out; further a preprinted sticker, with an address or the product's brand, is placed at the bottom, atop the base of Stand 2. 2. A method of opening the package of claim 1, comprising positioning a central hook and handle is positioned underneath the sticker, and used to pull out Stand 2 together with the foam material located inside the container; wherein the handle is removed from the slot when accessing Stand 1, which results in the foam material being separated by the line or string thereby releasing the item which is now ready to be removed from the box.
