Abstract: A spacing and support module is disclosed for use in groups to support an array of spaced, axially parallel cylinders for transport and storage. The support module on one side defines plural indentations having thickened indented portions that deform during use to add strength in the indented areas. A species of the spacing module provides a sheet-like reinforcing element on the side not defining indentations or between two support elements having their non-indentation defining surfaces immediately adjacent both sides of the reinforcing element. The module is especially useful in supporting palletized arrays of rolls of web material or pipes of delicate nature.
