Abstract (en)

[origin: EP0265009A1] Cheese which has been packed under vacuum in a plastic foil often leads to complaints that once the package has been opened, it is torn and provides insufficient material for careful re-packaging of the rest. It is therefore suggested to include in each package a folded piece of packaging foil which could carry a printed inscription giving hints of how to make the best use of the cheese, the manufacturer, etc.
