A method which comprises sequentially depositing individual shirred food casing strands into a holder, which, when filled, holds the strands in a desired configuration; stretching a tubular resilient plastic film having a stretched diameter large enough to accommodate the configuration and having a relaxed diameter small enough to tightly engage the external surfaces of strands located proximate the external surface of the configuration; inserting the configuration of strands into the tubular resilient plastic film when at least a portion of the film is so stretched and allowing the film to relax to tightly secure the strands in said configuration. The particular configuration comprises the configuration wherein, in the configuration, each strand has a strand diameter D, said strands being oriented such that central longitudinal axes of the strands are parallel; external surfaces of the strands contact external surfaces of adjacent strands; ends of the strands terminate in approximately the same plane; said plane being perpendicular to the longitudinal axes of the strands, lines passing perpendicularly through the central axes of strands located proximate the external surface of the configuration intersect to form a hexagon; and strands internally within the configuration encompassed by adjacent contact six adjacent strands; and the sides of the hexagon have side lengths such that said lengths vary by less than 1D from each other.
