1. Improved packaging for goods, comprising:
- a base over which goods are placed;
a flexible gas-permeable web covering said goods, portions of said web being secured to said base at positions below the top of said goods, said web being in tension and engaging and holding said goods to said base, said base being relatively rigid compared to said web;
a lid positioned over said base and said web, said lid being sealed to said base and defining a space between said web and said lid;
a preservation-enhancing gas in said space, said gas permeating said web for enhancing preservation of said goods,whereby said goods are retained against said relatively rigid base by the securing of said web to said base at said positions below the top of said goods.

Abstract
Improved packaging for goods including a base on which goods are placed, and a flexible, gas-permeable web covering the goods, with portions of the web being secured to the base at positions below the top of the goods. The web is in tension and engages and holds the goods to the base, which is relatively rigid compared to the web. A lid is positioned over and sealed to the base and defines a space between the web and the lid. A preservation-enhancing gas is in the space and permeates the web for enhancing preservation of the goods. The goods are retained against said relatively rigid base by the securing of the web to the base at positions below the top of the goods.
