Packaging for textile articles

Packaging (10) of textile articles (12) comprising:

• a plurality of textile articles (12) overlapped in a stacking direction (X), so as to form at least one pile (14);
• a flat core (16) arranged substantially perpendicular to the stacking direction (X), wherein the flat core (16) comprises recesses (18) along a pair of sides (160);
• and
• a small band (20) that surrounds the at least one pile (14) of textile articles (12) and the flat core (16),
• wherein the small band (20) is fixed around the pile (14) so as to keep it together and wherein the small band is received in the recesses (18) of the flat core (16);
• wherein the packaging (10) is free from the presence of T-end fasteners;
• and
• wherein the flat core (16) comprises a hook (162) such that, when the packaging (10) is hung by the hook (162), (a) the flat core (16) extends in a vertical direction and the small band (20) extends in a horizontal direction as it surrounds the at least one pile (14) and the flat core (16), and (b) the feature which prevents the textile articles (12) from falling consists of the small band (20) engaging the recesses (18) and the small band (20) urging, with controlled tension, the textile articles (12) towards and/or into contact with the flat core (16).
