  • Patent number: 6041933
    Abstract: Dunnage for shipping densely packed objects is disclosed. The dunnage consists of trays for supporting objects. Each tray includes a plurality of alternating, spaced first and second bays. Each first bay is adapted to hold one end of the object, while each second bay is adapted to hold the second end of the object. Matched first/second bay pairs are formed when two trays are placed with their bay openings facing one another. This allows each object to be retained by a first/second bay pair. To stack non-linear and symmetric objects in a high vertical density, a second set of trays is stacked on top of the first set of trays. The trays of the second set of trays are different in that the order of bays are opposite the order of bays in the first set of trays. This allows for opposite first/second bay pairs and greater vertical density.
