A method is described herein for packaging a plurality of glass sheets by: (1) coating a top surface of each glass sheet with a removable top protective film; (2) coating a bottom surface of each glass sheet with a removable bottom protective film; and (3) stacking the coated glass sheets next to one another such that the top protective film of one glass sheet is adjacent to the bottom protective film of another glass sheet. The top protective film and/or bottom protective film on each glass sheet has embossed features (e.g., rough features) formed therein which make it easier to separate one glass sheet from one another glass sheet because of the presence of air pockets caused by the embossed features located between the stacked glass sheets. The coated glass sheet and a container that can store a plurality of the coated glass sheets are also described herein.
