Abstract:
1. A method of packaging bulk fibers comprising the sequential steps of: A—forming a package having an internal volume; B—placing fibers in the internal volume; C—compressing the fibers; D—sealing the package, thereby defining a sealed chamber around the compressed fibers; and E—evacuating the internal volume through an evacuator, thereby defining an initial pressure in the sealed chamber; and F—releasing the compression; wherein the density of the bulk fibers in the sealed chamber is from 0.48 to 0.82 g/cm wherein the sealed chamber has a top wall, a bottom wall, and a plurality of side walls; wherein the package has a substantially cuboidal shape; and wherein the top and bottom walls of the sealed chamber are substantially flat.
