An elongate strip ( 10 ) is disclosed which can be manipulated into a cylindrical shape to form a casing for a food product. The strip comprises films of synthetic plastics material which are laminated together. One of the two outer films of the laminate is a peelable ionomer and the other is an olefin. A plurality of web weakening formations ( 18 ) for facilitating initiation of transverse tearing of the web are provided along one of the longitudinal edges of the web. The formations constitute the boundaries of a plurality of pull tabs ( 20 ). The weakening formations can be lines of perforations extending inwardly from said one edge of the web
