Abstract
A novel packaging for several tape-form recording media (5) wound on reel cores (6) or spools provided with internal bores consists of two pallets (1, 2) and optionally hubs (3) which are raised in the axial center (10) and of which the diameter corresponds to the clear internal diameter of the bores of the reel cores (6). The packaging can be sealed by a shrink film (4) which can be pulled thereover. The cuboid pallets (1, 2) which can be joined together have groove-like notches (7) at their edges, the interior of the pallets reproduces the outer shape of the pancakes (5) and the weld seam (8) of the shrink film (4) is formed in one of the notches (7). The pallets (1, 2) also have window-like cutouts (9) on their four narrow sides. Pallets as well as the hub (3) passing through the axial center (10) of the pancakes are preferably composed of Styropore (FIG. 1).
