A bundle of wood connectors of the present invention comprises a plurality of wood connectors and means for connecting the wood connectors and thus for effecting unitization thereof. Each wood connector has a pair of substantially planar and generally parallel side panels, a pair of substantially planar and generally coplanar lateral panels, each of which is attached to be generally perpendicular to a respective one of the pair of side panels, and a generally planar connecting panel, with an end portion of each of the side panels being attached to a respective end portion of the connecting panel. The side panels extend from their corresponding connecting panel in a first direction. The wood connectors are arranged in nested relationship, with the side panels of adjacent wood connectors being in generally parallel relationship, and with the lateral panels of adjacent wood connectors being in generally parallel relationship. The connecting means, which is preferably an endless band that wraps tautly around the wood connectors, cooperates with the nested wood connectors to provide an easily handled unit. Preferably, the wood connector bundles are provided as a layered stack, which more preferably overlies a pallet.
