Abstract
A system for the vertical packaging of webbing rolls comprises a bottom tray, a top cap, a plurality of webbing rolls, and stretch wrap film.

The webbing rolls are positioned between the bottom tray and the top cap with the webbing rolls resting on the bottom wall of the bottom tray and the top cap positioned atop the webbing rolls. Horizontally adjacent ones of the webbing rolls are in contact with each other. The contact between adjacent ones of the webbing rolls helps to maintain the integrity of the system during movement thereof. To reduce the amount of packaging material utilized in the system, neither the bottom tray nor the top cap includes corners joining their respective side walls. Rather, adjacent ones of the side walls of the bottom tray are secured to each other by fastening means such as tape, and adjacent ones of the side walls of the top cap are secured to each other in similar fashion. Moreover, the system is free of divider walls, sleeves, and box…
