Abstract
A package for shipping and storing a bundle of glass panels includes a plurality of elongated corner caps located at corners of the bundle. A plurality of fastening bands extend around the bundle and through the corner caps. The fastening bands pass over curved surfaces on the corner caps which prevent the bands from making sharp bends. Some of the curved surfaces are located on swivel guides with rotate to accommodate different angles of the fastening bands for different size bundles of panels.
