A method of compressing and constraining an elastomeric belt comprises linearly compressing the elastomeric belt such that when in the compressed configuration, the belt contains no obstructions. The constrained elastomeric belt is thereafter secured in the compressed position by a securing member, and subsequently placed in a closable article such as a box. Alternatively, when constraining a cog belt, the cog belt is first oriented such that the cogs extend outwardly, away from the belt. Thereafter, the belt is constrained such that the cogs intermesh with the interstitial spaces defined therebetween to act as an additional constraining force to maintain the belt in the constrained configuration. The box preferably has a top and a bottom flap, each formed with a perforated seam, enabling their removal to form a sleeve. If the elastomeric belt is released from its compressed configuration, the decompressed belt may be placed through the sleeve and subsequently hung from a J-hook or a similar support. The present invention advances an apparatus capable of effectively, and reliably compressing a single elastomeric belt by the use of a spring actuated reciprocal member and a rotation assembly operably connected to a power source. The reciprocal member is configured to receive an end of the elastomeric belt while the opposing end of the elastomeric belt is placed upon the rotation assembly. Rotation of the rotation assembly causes the circular, linear compression of the elastomeric belt into a compressed configuration which may thereafter be secured and boxed in a compact, space efficient manner.
