A package for grinding wheels and method for assembly thereof in the form of an elongated square wheel supporting container for holding one or more axially aligned grinding wheels of substantially the same diameter therein and having square end covers within opposite ends of the container, and tensioned tied strands of strapping extending across the end covers and axially along the center of each side of the container opposite a line of contact between the inside walls of the container and the wheels. Disclosed also, is a method of packaging grinding wheels by stacking and centering them upon an end cover. A square container of sufficient length is slipped over the stack endwise and another end cover is placed over the exposed end of the stack of wheels to fit within the tube. Strapping is then stretched tightly across the outside of the end covers and along the center of each side of the container to force the wheels together and each side of the container into contact with the periphery of each of the wheels.
