Roll package and method of making

A method of making a package for a roll of material having a longitudinal axis, a pair of spaced ends and an outer surface extending between the ends, said package including first, second and third separate layers, said second layer being a separate protective cushion layer, including the steps of:

• axially wrapping said roll with the first layer wherein the first layer is applied on the outer surface in a direction generally parallel to such longitudinal axis;
• and
• radially wrapping said roll with the second and third layers wherein said second and third layers are applied on the outer surface in a direction generally perpendicular to such longitudinal axis.

A package for a roll having a longitudinal axis, a pair of spaced ends and an outer surface extending between the ends and radially spaced from said axis, said package comprising an inner first layer extending over said roll outer surface and wrapped on said outer surface in a direction generally parallel to said longitudinal axis, said first layer extending over said spaced ends, a second layer positioned over said first layer, said second layer positioned over the outer surface of said first layer adjacent each of said spaced ends in a direction generally perpendicular to said longitudinal axis, said second layer being a foam layer, and a third layer positioned on the outer surface of said second layer in a direction generally perpendicular to said longitudinal axis, said third layer having a portion forming the outermost surface of said package.
