Abstract: A container for shipping and storing large hollow cylindrical rolls of either solid material or wound sheet material. A skid or pallet is combined with a pair of special corrugated paperboard end pads, one for each end of the roll, a pair of spaced apart anti-roll retainers extending longitudinally of and secured to the top of the pallet and between which the roll is placed, a pair of top braces extending between and interfitted with the end pads, a pair of banding straps which transversely encircle and secure together the retained roll and the anti-roll retainers, and a pair of banding straps which longitudinally encircle and secure together the pallet and end pads and top braces. The end pads and anti-roll retainers secure the retained roll from endwise shifting and sidewise rolling motion, and are constructed so that a standard sized end section is utilizable with rolls of widely varying diameters.

Abstract: A load-retaining barrier construction formed exclusively of high tensile strength plastic sheet material having a limited stretch capability precut to length sufficient to provide the same with portions which are fixedly secured in position at opposite sides of a load confining space and with freely extending end portions which are adhesively secured together in overlapped relation, said overlapped part of the barrier being wrapped or turned upon itself about an axis extending across the width of the barrier material in the region of said overlap through a number of turns sufficient to tension the barrier to the degree desired. This tensioning is effected by a turning tool applied to the overlapped part of the barrier along said axis.

Abstract: A combination shipping and storage container for hollow rolls of sheet material having an open-topped box structure and a top closure therefor, both said box structure and said top closure being each formed of two open-ended sections which are telescopically interfitted to provide the same with a capability of being lengthwise adjusted in correspondence with the length of the roll stored in the container and wherein the box structure sections are each provided in the closed end thereof with means affording access for insertion of a lifting bar axially through the hollow interior of the roll supported in the box for transferring roll into and out of its container.

Abstract: A combination shipping and storage containers for rolls of sheet material having hollow centers, the container having an interiorly disposed spindle like post extending vertically between opposite ends thereof upon which the rolls are held against radial shifting movement. The container is provided at each of its opposite ends with closure panels which are inwardly foldable from an open position thereof into flatwise superimposed closed positions to embrace therebetween out-turned flaps provided at each end of the post to hold the same in fixedly secured position within the closed container.
