A method and packaging unit are provided for protectively packaging sterilizable materials. A product (10) to be packaged is placed within a semi-rigid, foldable packaging tray (14) to form a package insert. The package insert is then placed within the heat-sealable container (18), such as a polymeric film envelope. Vacuum force is applied to evacuate the vacuum sealable container (18) and to seal the packaging insert within the vacuum sealable container. The vacuum sealed container may then be placed within an outer, flexible packaging container (20) and heat sealed therein. The entire package is generally sterilized after heat sealing within the outer, flexible package. <IMAGE> |
