A method of packaging a block of cheese or other soft product, in which the block is enclosed in a cardboard container having a body and a separate lid each lined with sheet material impervious to air and moisture, the container having internal dimensions similar to the external dimensions of the block with the lid engaged against the adjacent face of the block. The lining sheets on the body and lid extend out through the open end of the body of the container to form two endless collars which are sealed together, and the interior of the container is evacuated of air prior to sealing of the lining sheets, so that atmospheric pressure on the lid exerts a comprehensive force on the block of cheese. A reinforcing panel is mounted in a recess in the lid. A stack of such containers has each container arranged with its reinforcing panel upright and perpendicular to the reinforcing panels in the overlying and underlying containers.

A package containing a block of natural cheese or other soft product in a sealed container in which the container has internal dimensions similar to the external dimensions of the block and comprises a body which is open at one end thereof and a separate lid of a size to be sliding fit in the open end of the body, wherein the body and the lid each have an internal lining formed of flexible sheet material which is substantially impervious to air and moisture, the sheet material being secured to the inside surfaces of the body and the lid over at least a substantial proportion of said surfaces, and the sheet material on the body and on the lid extending out of the open end of the body to form two endless collars extending around the periphery of the open end of the body the two collars are sealed together around the full periphery thereof to seal the container such that the position of the seal will permit a small degree of freedom of movement of the lid into the body, and the interior of the sealed container is at a sub-atmospheric pressure so that the external atmospheric pressure forces the lid against the block of cheese and causes the cheese to spread laterally outwards and take the shape of the interior of the container.
