Abstract: The invention relates to a container for storing a number of wire bundles, each bundle being packed into a rectangular flat box having a lower wall, four side walls and an upper wall into which a central opening can be made.The container comprises a lower wall and a number of side walls, whereby the interior space of the container is divided by a number of partition walls, which run parallel to the side walls into a central compartment and a number of further compartments equal to the number of packed wire bundles which may be stored in the said container. Each of said partition walls has an opening which, after inserting a wire filled box into its respective compartment, coincides with the central opening in the upper wall of said box, so that the wire may be pulled out of said box through said central opening and the respective partition wall opening without damaging the box.
