Abstract: A product containerisation system created by attaching at least one product (X) to one side of a planar sheet (103) by overlaying a polymeric film (101) over the product and one side of the planar sheet by a skin packing process, and there folding the planar sheet into an erected container or package, in which the polymeric film is selected and arranged such that twisting the product (X) and overlying film about an axis (105) transverse to the planar sheet shears the polymeric film generally around the perimeter (107) of the product adjacent the planar sheet.
