Each roll of cloth, put-up as specified, shall be wrapped with 60-pound minimum basis weight kraft paper in such a way that the paper shall encircle the roll at least once with a minimum overlap of 3 inches, and the width of the paper shall be sufficient to fold over and protect the ends of the roll. Gummed paper tape, with a minimum of 2-1/2 inches shall be applied to the overlap seam the full length of the roll and across each end. Each roll of burlap cloth shall not exceed a weight of 225 pounds.
4.2 Packing. Each wrapped roll shall be enclosed in a bias-sewn tubing made from woven polypropylene cloth. The tube shall be secured by heat-sealing, by means of a mechanical tie, or by plastic ties with lock-end. Alternately, a maximum of four rolls of kraft-wrapped cloth shall be packed in a snug-fitting double-sided fiberboard container known as a double cover, and shall consist of a body or joined liner and two covers. Corrugated fiberboard with a minimum bursting strength of 500 pounds shall be used. The container shall be strapped with metallic straps not less than 1/2 by 0.020 inch or non-metallic straps not less than 7/16 by 0.030 inch.
