Abstract

A pack containing and closely wrapping a stack of planar food items (113) (e.g. biscuits) comprises a sheet of planar material. The pack is parallelepiped, having a longitudinal seam (108) extending along the top face of the pack parallel to the top face of the stack between two end seams (106/107). The ends of the pack extend parallel to the end faces of the items in the stack. At least a portion of the longitudinal seam comprises an adhesion zone which is tearably openable by pulling on a part of the top of the pack (112) adjacent to and overlapping the longitudinal seam. The opening provides access to the interior of the pack in a direction transverse to the axis of the stack. <IMAGE>
