A package assembly includes a pallet, an outer shell supported on the pallet, and a plurality of inner cells disposed within the outer shell. A plurality of package elements are utilized to separate and support a stack of video glass funnel parts within each inner cell. The upper pyramidal surface of a package element has step means formed therein for receiving and supporting the edge of a larger end of a glass funnel part, while a lower surface of the pyramidal element is configured to receive and mate with upper surfaces of the contoured sides of a glass funnel part. Stiffening support posts may be disposed in the corners of the inner cells. A cover has a top panel and downwardly depending side walls which extend around the upper edges of the sides of the outer shell.

A packaging element for supporting and separating layers of video glass funnel parts, wherein each glass part has a larger end for attachment of a face plate thereto and a smaller end for attachment of a neck tube and with contoured sides tapering from said larger end to said smaller end, comprising: (a) an apex section, (b) a base rim which is larger than and spaced from said apex section, (c) a plurality of sloping ribs extending from said base rim to said apex section and defining a generally pyramidal form, each of said ribs having spaced innermost edges, and an outermost upper surface spaced from innermost edges, (d) each of said ribs having a step formed in said upper surface thereof for receiving and supporting the edge of a larger end of a glass funnel part, all of said steps in said ribs being formed at the same distance from said base rim and being spaced from said innermost edges to provide shock absorbing for a funnel part supported thereon, and (e) web means extending between said innermost edges of said ribs and connecting said ribs, said web means having lower surfaces configured to receive and mate with upper surfaces of contoured sides which connect a larger end to a smaller end of a glass funnel part, (f) the rib steps and the lower mating surfaces of said webs of the packaging element enabling the stacking of a plurality of glass funnel parts by the use of the package elements therebetween to protect the glass funnel parts from shock and compression forces.
