Verpackungssystem fuer Stueckgut

The packing system holds individual items, in vertical and/or adjacent stacks. The system has vertical spacers between successive layers. Over and under the stack, a protective unit is placed, covering the outer contours of the top and bottom layers. Around the stack outer circumference there are fixing devices, e.g. straps, pressing the layers together. These run over the protective units. Preferred straps, adhesive and spacers are nominated for the system, including disposable panel spacers made of corrugated card and polystyrene foam. USE - A packing system for stackable goods in transport, especially plastic foam slabs, used for insulation in the building industry. ADVANTAGE - Reduces costs of handling, from the point of manufacture to that of use, on the construction site. Edge loading of the product is avoided. The stack is stable, held against displacement, as if in a press. The goods can be stacked more efficiency on large lorries.
