Abstract:

Package and method of flat-packing multiple pocketed spring core assemblies wherein a stack of multiple pocketed spring assemblies are trapped between a pair of wooden frames. After compression of the stack including the wooden frames, bands are tightly wrapped around the compressed stack. Loops of wire are then inserted through the stack and wrapped about at least one cross element of the frame on each side of the stack. Each loop of wire is pulled taut and its opposite ends connected together so as to prevent the center portion of the stack from ballooning outwardly after removal of compression forces on the rigid frames.
