ABSTRACT:
A package comprising a resilient musical instrument string in coiled form and contained within an envelope is made by winding the string into a coil at a winding station and within a generally C-shaped opening in an insert plate. The opening is partially defined by a generally radially inwardly open groove and further defined by a mouth which opens radially outwardly through the forward end of the plate. The groove provides partial support for the coil, an unsupported portion of the coil being disposed within the region of the mouth. The plate is advanced from the winding station to a packaging station where the forward end portion of the plate and the coil carried by the plate are inserted into an envelope. A clamping mechanism at the packaging station engages opposite sides of the envelope in the region of the mouth and grips and holds the envelope and an unsupported portion of the coil disposed within the envelope. While the envelope and the coil therein are held by the clamping mechanism the insert plate is withdrawn from the envelope and separated from the resilient coil which moves through the mouth.
