Abstract
An end cap for insertion over a plurality of packages each having at least one end which is susceptible to bending when the packages are shrink wrapped into a bundle. The end cap comprises an end panel for location over said ends and four dependent sides defining an opening to receive the packages, said sides extending partly along the length of the packages to locate the packages in a bundle so that during shrink wrapping of the bundle any forces exerted by a shrink wrapping film will be distributed over the end cap and the pressure on the ends received in the end cap will be minimized.
