Method of packing flexible packages in a cylindrical container
Abstract
Abstract A method of packing a plurality of substantially flat elongated flexible packages in a rigid cylindrical container where the length of the packages exceeds the interior height of the container comprising folding the flexible packages transversely to a length which is less than the interior height of the container and providing a folded end portion which is less than half the interior height of the container, stacking the folded packages in pairs with their folded end portions in the same plane, placing the stacked pairs into the container and filling the remaining space between the container wall and the stacked pairs with a single flexible package folded at least twice transversely and placed sidewise in the container. The method is particularly useful in packing five 1-pound packages of sliced bacon in a standard size (No. 10) tin plate container.
