A first aspect of the invention concerns a corner packaging device ( 14 ) which can be used in the packaging of a polygonal pack ( 10 ) of stacked glass sheets. The device includes two identical packaging members ( 12 ) each having a facing element ( 16 ) to lie against an outer surface of the pack at a corner and a pair of transverse flanges ( 22 ) meeting one another at a corner ( 24 ) of the facing element so as in use to lie against adjacent edges of the pack. There is a projection ( 28 ) lying generally in the plane of each flange and extending beyond the inner edge ( 26 ) of the flange and a recess ( 30 ) extending into the flange from that inner edge. With this arrangement, the packaging members can be arranged with their facing elements lying against opposite surfaces of the pack, with their flanges extending towards one another and with the projection of one flange extending over an edge of the pack to be received slidably within the recess of the other flange over a range of different pack thicknesses. Each flange also carries a projecting sling attachment formation ( 44 ) beneath which a lifting sling ( 46 ) can be engaged for the purposes of lifting the pack at an upright attitude when the devices embrace the corners of the pack and are anchored in position by straps ( 40, 42 ) encircling the devices and the pack to hold the pack together. Other aspects of the invention relate to a packaging system incorporating such devices ( 14 ) and the individual packaging members ( 12 ).
