Abstract: A corner element for use in forming a package of glass sheets comprises two corner pieces, each of which includes a first and a second planar arm, said first and second planar arms forming a right angle. The first and second arms are each formed with a planar projection extending at right angles from each arm, each planar projection being attached on the first and second arms in a position different with respect to each other so that when the two pieces are interfit with each other, the planar projections of one corner piece and the planar projections of the other piece form a protective enclosure around each one the corners of the sheet glass package. A post extending horizontally outwardly from one of the planar projections of each corner element is used to lift the glass sheet package to be transported.
