Abstract: A package or "caddie" of fifty (50) shirred tubular sticks of food casing is formed by stacking the sticks in seven rows one on another the lowermost row containing five side-by-side stack, each of the next four rows containing one stick more than the row below and each of the top two rows having one stick less than the row below. This forms a six sided caddie wherein all internal angles as formed by the sides of the stack are 120.degree. and the perimeter of the stack is formed by a continuous unbroken progression of side-by-side sticks. A stretch film disposed transversely about the stack bundles the sticks tightly together.
