A package system 10 for storing and transporting photographic film products in an environment substantially free of dirt, light and moisture has a support member 12 comprising a first portion 14, a medial portion and a second portion 16. The first and second portions 14,16 each comprise a plurality of spaced openings 24 for receiving a partial portion of the product in a substantially locked relation with the first and second portions 14,16, respectively to restrict translational movement of the product in the support member 12. A pair of spaced single foldable scored lines 17,19 in the medial portion of the support member 12 forms an end wall 20 therebetween that spatially separates the first portion 14 from the second portion 16. When product are nested in the first portion 14 of the support member 12 and the second portion 16 is brought into folded engagement with the an opposite portion of the nesting product, a container 30 is formed. The container 30 is then overwrapped and hermetically sealed with a flexible light shielding and moisture impervious barrier material to form the package 10.
