Abstract: A pallet-type package and system and tray therefore are provided that utilize reusable structural components of bobbins and trays. The pallet-type package has a bottom pallet layer on top of which is located at least one tray constituting the first tray layer on top of which is a layer of a plurality of nestable bobbins of yarn where subsequent layers of trays and bobbins of yarn alternate to allow the bobbins to nest through apertures in the tray. The tray of the pallet-type package positively positions the base of each bobbin in a recess having one aperture for each bobbin of yarn through which the top of the bobbin from the underlaying layer of bobbins of yarn penetrates to nest with the cavity in the base of the overlaying layer of bobbins of yarn. In addition, the tray also has material handling receiving means and has reinforcing means sufficient to provide longitudinal and transverse strength to the tray.
