Abstract:
An insulation package containing resilient insulation batts, comprising:a plurality of resilient insulation batts; the batts each having major surfaces defined by a length and a width and each having a thickness; the batts each having a longitudinal centerline; the batts being stacked one upon another with the major surfaces of the batts in contact and being compressed in a direction generally parallel to the thicknesses of the batts and held in compression within a package; the package comprising a tubular sheet material that completely encircles the batts and has a stress riser extending longitudinally with respect to the batts for the length of the batts; and the sheet material having a first perforated tear line therein extending generally perpendicular to and crossing the stress riser for creating an opening in the package through the rupture of the sheet material by hand along the first tear line and for permitting the package to be separated by hand along the stress riser from the opening created along the first tear line to gain access to the batts within the package.
