A shipping container for transporting a large relatively fragile cylindrical sleeve, which is constructed in a manner to facilitate easy mounting and demounting of the cylindrical sleeve without any damage thereto. The shipping container is designed to readily align the cylindrical sleeve with a mandrel in a surfacing machine or a drum of a nonwoven fabric producing machine, which is useful when a cylindrical sleeve is being transferred from the shipping container onto the mandrel or drum, or vice versa. The shipping container is useful in transporting a blank cylindrical backing sleeve from its production facility to a surfacing facility, aligning and mounting the blank cylindrical backing sleeve on a mandrel in the surfacing machine, removing the cylindrical backing sleeve from the mandrel in the surfacing machine, transporting the machined cylindrical backing sleeve from the surfacing facility to a nonwoven fabric production facility, and mounting and aligning the machined cylindrical backing sleeve on a nonwoven fabric producing machine. The shipping container includes an elongated outer rectangular housing having front and rear spaced opposite ends. Two doors are positioned at the front end of the outer housing to provide access to the interior of the housing to place a cylindrical sleeve therein or to remove a cylindrical backing sleeve therefrom. A support tube, on which the large cylindrical sleeve is supported in the shipping container, is mounted within the shipping container by a cantilever mounting at the rear end of the outer housing.
