Zusammenfassung:An improved flat package of petri dishes and method of producing the same for prolonging shelf life and preservation of sterility of the petri dishes for at least 12 months is disclosed. The flat package (10) is comprised of an optically clear, high-barrier, moisture-, gas- and microbial-resistant pouch (14). A plurality of petri dishes (12) located adjacent one another are placed in an interior cavity of the pouch, after which the pouch is vacuum-packed, optionally flushed with an inert gas and then heat sealed. The placement and immobilization of the petri dishes in the pouch allow for prolonged shelf life and preservation of sterility, greatly reduced breakage rates, and enhanced visibility of the petri dishes by a user.
