A packaging assembly in which hardware items such as hand tools are secured in place on a supporting base or board by means of skin packing techniques, the final package to be inserted into a container such as a metal tool box. The invention is characterized in that the skin packing is carried out so that the bonding of the overlying film is effected in opposed marginal areas, these areas then being folded underneath the supporting board on which the tools are secured so that, in the final assembly, which is to be inserted in a tool box, there is no "waste" space, the entire floor area being occupied by tool elements.
