A unit for transporting eggs includes a platform carrying superimposed horizontal layers of egg-holder trays and intermediate partitions interposed between the plurality of superimposed horizontal layers. Parallel to two opposite sides of the partition are stop elements projecting upwards suitable to cooperate with corresponding lower abutments of the egg-holder trays of the lowest layer of the corresponding plurality of superimposed horizontal layers. The stop elements are spaced by the two opposite sides of the partition, towards the inside thereof.

A film for use as an interleaf between substrates includes a first side having a first micro-embossed surface and a first formed pattern, a second side having a second micro-embossed surface and a second formed pattern, a basis weight of between about 35 gsm and about 80 gsm, a Low Load Thickness of between about 150 micrometers and 400 micrometers according to the Low Load Thickness Test, and a flexural stiffness of between about 150 grams and about 500 grams according to the Circular Bend Stiffness Test.

A glass article layer is provided that includes at least two cylindrical glass articles arranged side by side in an x-direction and extending in a z-direction. Spacers are arranged between the cylindrical glass articles. The spacers are provided at least at two spaced apart spacer positions in the z-direction longitudinally of the cylindrical glass article. The spacers are thread-like elements and at least one thread-like element is provided at each position.

The spacers are thread-like elements and at least one of the thread-like elements is provided at each spacer position.

A shipping system for shipping planar substrates includes a plurality of planar substrates stacked to form a pack and a plurality of interleaving material including substantially spherical beads positioned between the substrates of the pack and configured to carry a load. Substantially all of the beads have a diameter within 25% of D.sub.max, where D.sub.max is a diameter corresponding to a size of an opening of an upper limit sieve used in the shipping system. Also disclosed are a spacer for use in a shipping system for shipping planar substrates, a wrapped system for shipping planar substrates, a method of wrapping a system for shipping planar substrates, and a powder applicator.

A module clip piece for a module is disclosed. The module clip piece includes at least one protrusion configured to engage at least one groove of a first neighboring module clip piece. The at least one protrusion protrudes in a first direction. At least one groove is coupled to the at least one protrusion and is configured to engage at least one protrusion of a second neighboring module clip piece. The at least one groove extends in a second direction that is orthogonal to the first direction.

A flexible package for storing and transporting bulk goods. Such flexible package can have material-impermeable connections for spreading out sections of the flexible package wall so as to correspond to a predefined shape. One or more docking connections for filling and discharging can be included. The flexible package can have a square bottom and adjacent to the sides thereof triangular stubs as lateral walls. Together, such lateral walls can form an upwardly open pyramid shape. Opposite the bottom, a coupling element can be connected in such a manner that it presents the flexible package so as to be sealable in a standardized manner on open-sided ends of the lateral walls.
