ABSTRACT:
This specification discloses a method for preparing a plurality of large blocks of glass for shipment on a transportable device (10). The method includes providing an "A" frame carrier (18) on the transportable device. A plurality of layers of shrinkable film (32) and (34) are provided which lie over and on both sides of the "A" frame carrier. A block of glass is loaded on each side of the "A" frame carrier and wrapped in the layer (34) of shrinkable film in a manner that each of the first glass blocks is substantially enclosed in the shrinkable film. The shrinkable film is shrunk about the enclosed block of glass thereby to form a sealed pouch pack (36) about the first loaded block of glass. At least a second block of glass is loaded on each side of the "A" frame carrier in association with the previously loaded blocks of glass. Each of the newly loaded blocks of glass is wrapped in the layer (32) of the shrinkable film in a manner such that each of the newly loaded glass blocks is substantially enclosed in the shrinkable film. The shrinkable film is then shrunk about the substantially enclosed glass blocks thereby to form a sealed pouch pack (40--40) about each of the newly loaded glass blocks.
