Disclosed is stack support assembly. The stack support assembly includes at least one binding element to press and bind at least one support leg to a material stack; and at least one elongated and partially hollow support leg composed of a shaped polymer. The elongated and partially hollow support leg includes vertically oriented side walls connected to one another with a repeating pattern of interconnect structures, thereby forming hollowed channels extending between a top plane and a bottom plane of the support leg.

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 method for unpacking a bundle of tubular and/or rod-shaped glass articles has the steps of holding the bundle in a locked position and pulling a thread-like element that is wrapped around the glass articles so that the thread-like element is withdrawn from the bundle. The bundle includes a longest dimension, layers (N.sub.L) of the glass articles, and the thread-like element. The longest dimension extends in a first direction. The glass articles in each layer are arranged side by side in a second direction. The layers are arranged side by side in a third direction. The first, second, and third directions are perpendicular to one another. The thread-like element is around two of the glass articles in at least one layer so that the two glass articles are spaced apart. The thread-like element has a cross section between at least 0.25 mm and at most 4.0 mm.

An eye shield dispenser having an outer box and a holder within the outer box for holding eye shields. The holder is configured to hold the eye shields horizontally along an upper surface of the holder and to position the eye shields proximate an opening in the outer box through which the eye shields may be retrieved.

An array of toilet tissue products comprising first, second, and third packages, where first package conveys strength and a second package conveys softness. Lint, basis weight, total dry tensile, absorbency, and softness are common intensive properties of the first, second, and third toilet tissue products and one or more of these common intensive properties can be different between the first, second, and third toilet tissue products.
