Curd cheese packaging
The first reports concerning the original curd cheese packaging as bulk in reusable boxes made of solid boards fixed by hoops come from the midst of the last century. Development of production and trade led at the turn of the 19th and 20th century to production of lightweight, disposable boxes, of rectangular shape. Since the sixties of the 20th century wood and cardboard combined boxes appeared, followed by purely cardboard ones.
Bulk cheese around 1900 was improved by crate lining made of stiff parchment paper. Packaging of individual blocks or pairs of blocks into parchment becomes widespread from the twenties and ten years later cellophanepackaging appears. Types of packaging include small boxes for curd cheese or cups of waxed paper or plastic for smaller broken curd cheese pieces.
Parchment and especially cellophane packaging was sealed by - a sticker, label, usually of round shape, with initials or brand of the producer. The label collectors register nowadays ca one hundred types and some curd cheese producers used even more label types. Logo of the producer was missing on few labels only.
