Package of shirred food casing and method of making it.

摘要

The invention is a package including a bundle of shirred casing sticks disposed and held together by a container which completely encloses the bundle. The container is formed insitu about the bundle from a heat shrink film 16 which stiffens on heat shrinking to provide a self-supporting container conforming in shape generally to the bundle shape. During heat shrinking, portions 18 of the film are insulated by adhesive tape 26 to prevent welding of these portions so they provide flaps which open to permit removal or replacement of sticks. <IMAGE>
