A package for shipping and storing a bundle of glass panels includes a plurality of molded plastic corner caps, wherein each one has an L-shaped cross section for embracing one corner of the bundle formed by the intersection of two edges of each glass panel. Each pair of corner caps is coupled by a separate side sheet that is securely received in a cavity of each corner cap to prevent racking of the panel bundle. A pair of plates are slidably mounted on each corner cap hold the bundle of panels between the plates. A number of strapping bands extend around the corner caps and the bundle of panels running parallel to elongated dimension of all the edges of the panels. An optional support tray to be engaged by material handling equipment may be held beneath the panel bundle by the strapping bands.
