Abstract
A member for protectively supporting and spacing a plurality of rolls of web material such as cellophane in a multi-layer stack is formed as an elongated bar. The bar has a plurality of spaced indentations along at least one elongated surface for receiving the rolls of the stack. The bar is formed with sufficient flexibility to permit a limited, relative movement among the rolls of the stack. This provides a high degree of protection to the rolls. At the same time, the bar has sufficient strength to prevent crushing of the stack. The bar may be formed of expanded polystyrene foam and, preferably, is formed to embrace the ends of the rolls for protective purposes.
