Claim:
A container for goods having an axial dimension, the container comprising: a plurality of first end supports each having four corners, said first end supports being removably connected in a stacked arrangement and oriented in a first plane; a plurality of second end supports each having four corners, said second end supports being removably connected in a stacked arrangement and oriented in a second plane spaced axially from the first plane; wherein each of said first end supports and second end supports define a plurality of openings for supporting a corresponding plurality of rolled goods wound on a core; a plurality of connecting rails having first and second ends, the first ends being removably connected to the first end supports and the second ends being removably connected to the second end supports, each rail being connected to a different corner of a first end support and a corresponding corner of a second end support, wherein one first end support is supported by another first end support, wherein each of the first end supports and second end supports has a notch cut-out in each of its corners for receiving the connecting rail, wherein each of the connecting rails is longer than the spacing between the axial spacing between the first and second planes, and wherein at least one good may be suspended between and supported by the first end support and second end support, with the axial dimension of the good in a horizontal plane; wherein each of the ends of the connecting rails define holes connected to strapping material to hold the rails in position at the corners of the first and second end supports.
