The Packaging of Cheese for Parcel-Post Shipping
General care should be exercised in the packaging of cheese for shipment by parcel post. The surface of the cheese should be clean and, if necessary, paraffined. As a protection to the cheese it should be wrapped in several layers of paper, preferably with a waxed paper next to the cheese. Corrugated or other fiber-board containers or wooden boxes may be used as shipping containers. (See [figure 6].) When rather weak fiber board or wooden boxes are used they should be wrapped with several sheets of tough paper.
