A package for stacking and transporting stacked goods of regular shape without using pallets. The package comprises plastic sheet material which is heat-shrunk over at least four surfaces including the bottom of the stack. The package also includes one or more strips of supporting material extending into the bottom portion of the stack. The supporting strips together with the wrapping rigidify select lower portions of the stack to support its upper portions. In one embodiment, the inserted strip of supporting material covers a central portion of the bottom of the stack and defines one side of each of a pair of tunnels through the stack. In other embodiments two strips envelope the outer portions of three or more bottom layers of the stack, each of the strips additionally partially defining the sides of separate tunnels through the stack.
