Abstract
A transport tray for ribbon formed glass articles such as lamp glass envelopes and glass containers is disclosed which permits increased packing density to be achieved when the article containing trays are vertically stacked for shipment. The tray member comprises a flat sheet having cavities formed therein which partially enclose one side of the individual glass articles when inserted therein and with the location of said cavities being defined by at least one central row having the glass articles aligned alternately in opposite longitudinal directions, together with a row of said glass articles being located at each end of said central row wherein the individual glass articles are aligned in a longitudinal direction transverse to the longitudinal direction of the glass articles in said central row. These trays are thereafter stacked vertically whereby adjoining trays are rotated approximately 180.degree. with respect to each other for the increased packing density.
