ABSTRACT:
A method for packaging specialty lighting strings and elongated items of narrow width, especially useful for specialty light strings which contain large, bulky decorative light covers or complicated patterns such as icicle lights. Scarves, decorative garland, ties, and lawn ornaments may also be packaged effectively. Items are passed through a cylinder of rigid material on which a quantity of thin plastic tubing is compressed. Once the item emerges out the end of the cylinder, the beginning of the plastic tubing is secured to the end of the item with a twist tie. The end is then grasped and the item is pulled completely through the cylinder. As it comes through, it is encased in the plastic tubing which unravels from the cylinder. Once through, the end of the item is secured to the tubing with a twist tie and the tubing is cut. Thus a completely packaged item which may be stored dust and tangle free.
