Abstract

A construction for the packaging of plastic separators having top, middle and bottom plates formed of single plastic moldings. Each of the plates have support plugs for positioning one or more yarn spools sandwiched between the top plate and the middle plate, the top plate and the bottom plate, or the middle plate and the bottom plate. Wrapping film (22) covers the yarn spools sandwiched between the plates. The top and bottom plates each include deep grooves (13, 20) with widths larger than that of the packaging rope. The packaging rope is arranged along the grooves tor secure the yarn spools between the plates. The bottom plate includes at least four corners with upper rims (23) and bottom rims (24). The upper rims (23) are more projected than the bottom rims (24). The rims are configured as fixing parts for the wrapping film (22) that extends from the top plate to the bottom plate.
