  • Publication number: 20230312199
    Abstract: A method for unpacking a bundle of tubular and/or rod-shaped glass articles has the steps of holding the bundle in a locked position and pulling a thread-like element that is wrapped around the glass articles so that the thread-like element is withdrawn from the bundle. The bundle includes a longest dimension, layers (NL) of the glass articles, and the thread-like element. The longest dimension extends in a first direction. The glass articles in each layer are arranged side by side in a second direction. The layers are arranged side by side in a third direction. The first, second, and third directions are perpendicular to one another. The thread-like element is around two of the glass articles in at least one layer so that the two glass articles are spaced apart. The thread-like element has a cross section between at least 0.25 mm and at most 4.0 mm.
