METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PACKAGING A COMPRESSIBLE TEXTILE PRODUCT, AND THE RESULTING PACKAGE Abstract of the Disclosure A method and apparatus is provided for the packaging of a compressible textile product (12) under a high degree of compaction to facilitate handling, shipment and storage. Also, the product in the resulting package (50) is essentially "bone" dry, which serves to prevent the formation of destructive per- manent wrinkles, or fiber compression set, in the pro- duct. The moisture is removed in accordance with the present invention by applying microwave energy to the product at an energy level and for a time sufficient to vaporize substantially all of the ambient moisture therein, and the product is thereafter enclosed in a vapor impermeable plastic bag (37). The resulting package is then compressed and sealingly closed, to thereby maintain the compressed condition of the pro- duct and prevent moisture regain in the product.
