A package for and method of packaging individual stacks of nested fragile articles such as ice cream cones is provided in which a split sleeve of resilient compressible material is uniformly constrained into engagement with the stack of articles by an outer envelope of heat shrink material. In a preferred embodiment the sleeve is comprised of internally fluted or corrugated material having the flutes disposed orthogonally of the axis of the stack to engage the annular rims of the nested articles and preclude relative movement therebetween. The sleeve is longer than the stack, extends beyond both ends thereof and the heat shrink envelope is sealed about the package to maintain sanitation and protect the contents from moisture and oxidation.
