  • Patent number: 6439383
    Abstract: A method for packaging fiber glass rovings is provided which substantially reduces the amount of material needed to securely package the rovings for shipment and/or in-process storage and handling. Also provided is a method for packaging fiber glass rovings which permits the packaging material to be reused. In a preferred embodiment the method comprises stacking fiber glass rovings on a shipping pallet; placing curved panels vertically at least at the four corners of the assembly of stacked rovings, said panels being approximately semi-cylindrical and having a height at least as great as the height of a column of stacked rovings; placing support members among the stacked rovings, said support members having a combined compressive strength sufficient to support the weight of a second pallet of stacked rovings; placing a top cap over the assembly of rovings, panels and support members; and thereafter wrapping the assembly with a stretch wrap material.
