Abstract
A rack for shipping and storing a plurality of glass panels includes a frame which holds a bottom support and a rear support in planes that intersect at substantially a right angle. The bottom and rear supports have notches to receive edges of the panels. The rear support has a plurality of channels with a separate retainer slidably received in each channel for engaging an upper edge of a panel placed in the rack. A spring loaded mechanism maintains the retainers in engagement with the respective panel, thereby holding the panels in the rack.
