Three groups of packages are used for the intermediate and end products of the spinning mill  [18]:

  • Containers into which the material is made to run; for example, cans. This package form provides a high degree of protection for the material, but in the empty condition it occupies the same amount of space as when it is full.
  • Take-up formers, such as cylinders, spindles, tubes, cones, etc., on which the material is wound. They provide less protection for the material, but they are easy to transport, are well suited to unwinding the product at high speeds in a controlled and trouble-free manner, and occupy little space when empty. They are therefore used where many production units are operated in confined spaces. For example, the ideal infeed for the ring spinning machine is still the roving bobbin.
  • Unsupported packages, which consist only of the material. These are bumps, cakes, strands, hanks, etc. They are only usable for special purposes.
