A method and device for handling and deploying a sheet of material are provided. In a first version, a rigid rod is positioned within a flexible cylindrical core and the sheet is wrapped around the core. The rod is then removed from the core and the core and sheet may be folded and reshaped for storage or shipment. The core and sheet may then be unfolded and the sheet may be unwrapped from the core. The rigid rod may be positioned within the core after the core is unfolded and to enable easier removal of the sheet from the core. A dispenser may be provided that attaches to the core and/or the rod and enables an operator to unwrap the sheet from the core. The core may be sufficiently rigid to allow the dispenser to be coupled with the core and without positioning of a rigid rod within the core.

1. A device for packaging a sheet of material, the device configured to allow for dispensing of the sheet material, the device comprising: a flexible tubular cylinder, having an internal channel and an external curved surface, the internal channel having an elongate length disposed between a first end and a second end; anda flexible sheet, the flexible sheet wrapped about the external curved surface of the flexible tubular cylinder;the flexible tubular cylinder and flexible sheet being folded such that a first portion of the flexible tubular cylinder is bent over a second portion of the flexible tubular cylinder such that the first portion covers at least part of the second portion. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the flexible sheet is selected from the materials group consisting of a netting a deer netting, a plant protection sheet, a fabric, a textile, a cloth, a tarpaulin, a canvas, a flexible solar energy conversion circuitry panel, a metallic threaded fabric, an aramid fiber sheet, polyester film, an elastomer sheet, and an elastomer netting. 3. The device of claim 1, further comprising one or more restraints removably coupled with the flexible sheet for maintaining the flexible sheet wrapped about the external curved surface of the flexible tubular cylinder. 4. The device of claim 1, further comprising a restraining element, wherein the flexible cylinder is maintained by the restraining element in a folded position for shipment or storage. 5. A device comprising: a flexible cylinder having an external curved surface extending along an elongate length between a first end and a second end; anda flexible sheet, the flexible sheet wrapped about the external curved surface of the flexible cylinder;the flexible cylinder and flexible sheet being folded such that a first portion of the flexible cylinder is bent over a second portion of the flexible cylinder such that the first portion covers at least part of the second portion. 6. The device of claim 5, wherein the flexible sheet is selected from the materials group consisting of a netting, a deer netting, a plant protection sheet, a fabric, a textile, a cloth, a tarpaulin, a canvas, a flexible solar energy conversion circuitry panel, a metallic threaded fabric, an aramid fiber sheet, polyester film, an elastomer sheet, and an elastomer netting. 7. The device of claim 5, further comprising one or more restraints removably coupled with the flexible sheet for maintaining the flexible sheet wrapped about the external curved surface of the flexible cylinder. 8. The device of claim 7, further comprising a restraining element, wherein the flexible cylinder is maintained by the restraining element in a folded position for shipment or storage. 9. The device of claim 8, further comprising a dispenser, the dispenser coupled with the flexible cylinder, whereby the dispenser enables manual deployment of the sheet from the flexible cylinder. 10. The device of claim 9, wherein the dispenser is rotatably coupled with the flexible cylinder. 11. The device of claim 5, wherein the flexible cylinder is folded, whereby the device presents a reduced total length along a cylindrical axis of the flexible cylinder. 12. A method comprising: positioning a rigid rod inside an internal channel of a flexible tubular cylinder having a first end maximally displaced from a second end;wrapping a sheet of material around an external circular surface of the flexible tubular cylinder;removing the rigid rod from the internal channel of the flexible tubular cylinder; andfolding the cylinder, whereby an axial length of the flexible tubular cylinder is reduced and the first end is positioned more proximate to the second end. 13. The method of claim 12, further comprising restraining the folded flexible tubular cylinder for shipment or storage. 14. The method of claim 13, further comprising: unrestraining the folded flexible tubular cylinder;returning the flexible cylinder to a fully extended state;inserting the rigid rod into the internal channel of the flexible tubular cylinder; andunwrapping the sheet of material from the flexible tubular cylinder. 15. A method comprising: wrapping a sheet of material around an external circular surface of a flexible cylinder, andfolding the cylinder such that a first portion of the cylinder is bent over a second portion of the cylinder such that the first portion covers at least part of the second portion. 16. The method of claim 15, further comprising restraining the folded cylinder for shipment or storage. 17. The method of claim 16, further comprising: unrestraining the flexible cylinder;returning the flexible cylinder to a fully extended state; andunwrapping the sheet of material from the flexible cylinder.
