Abstract
One or more shirred artificial sausage casings are tightly packaged in a flexible film to reduce lateral and longitudinal expansion and to protect against moisture loss. The flexible film is caused to fit tightly about the artificial sausage casings by enveloping the casings within at least one flexible film, removing sufficient air from within the resulting envelope for producing a partial vacuum therein and sealing said envelope for maintaining said partial vacuum.
