Abstract
A recyclable protective cradle and a recyclable edge protective packaging and distribution system for preventing rolling and allowing distribution and shipping of rolls of laminar stock rollingly oriented on a pallet. The protective cradle is formed of an interengaging pallet covering and a series of wedge members which act as chocks to prevent the roll from rotating. A wedge removal system allows for the selective removal of one or more wedge members to allow the roll to freely be removed from the protective cradle.
