ABSTRACT:
A package is provided for holding a plurality of articles in a fixed orientation with respect to each other so that the articles are arranged for further processing, such as overwrapping, shrink-wrapping, case-packing, or the like. In one embodiment, the package includes a T-shaped member having a base and a divider which define an article support member on each side of the divider, with each of the article support members including one or more adhesive strips on either or both of the divider wall or base wall of each article support member. A row of articles is disposed in each of said article support members so that the articles adhere to the adhesive strips and are held in a fixed orientation with respect to each other. Such package may then be utilized for case-packing or may be further processed so that the package is overwrapped, shrink-wrapped, or the like.
In a second embodiment, peripheral wall sections, each including adhesive strips, are connected to each side of the base and are folded to extend in a direction parallel to the divider wall so as to engage and adhere to the side walls of the articles.
A method and apparatus are also provided for producing such packages.
