Spool Assembly And Method Of Assembly

A method of assembling a paperboard spool from a one-piece paperboard blank, the method comprising:

• connecting a first arbor panel of a plurality of arbor panels to a second arbor panel of the plurality of arbor panels, wherein the first and second arbor panels form at least a portion of an arbor that extends about an arbor axis;
• forming a first flange panel crease line between the first arbor panel and a first flange panel of a first plurality of flange panels such that the first flange panel is rotatable relative to the first arbor panel;
• and
• forming a second flange panel crease line between the second arbor panel and a second flange panel of the first plurality of flange panels such that the second flange panel is rotatable relative to the second arbor panel,
• wherein a first flange comprising the first plurality of flange panels is connected to the arbor and is configured to transition between a retention configuration and an open configuration, and wherein a second flange is connected to the arbor and is spaced from the first flange via the arbor along the arbor axis.
