Abstract
A process for forming packs from cylindrical rolls of metal wire netting comprising flattening each of a plurality of the rolls so as to form an elongated body the major axis of which coincides with that of the cylindrical rolls and which body thereby has at least two flat, non-intersecting faces, and stacking the bodies in face-to-face relationship so as to form a pack.

- and,
- b. deforming said coil into a stable substantially prismatic body having at least two substantially flat non-adjacent axially extending faces having rounded edges therebetween while maintaining said core structure in said deformed stable coil.
