The present disclosure is concerned with packaging which can accommodate a series of femoral stem components for prosthetic hip joints which have a dimension which varies minimally across the series but which vary considerably in overall size. The packaging is designed to minimize the travel of any member of the series packaged therein such that all the packaged components in the series can pass the standard handling and shipping tests typically used by the manufacturers of medical implants. The packaging comprises two thermoformed tray components which each carry three types of cavities which are interconnected. The tray components are designed to be assembled with their cavities facing each other. The cavities are designed to contain the lower stem, body and angled shaft of the stem component, respectively. The cavities for the lower stem and the body cooperate to capture the minimally varying dimension of the series.
