Material used in packaging hamburgers (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gingham

'material' is the definition.
(gingham is a kind of material)

'in packaging hamburgers' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'GINGHAM' is hidden in the letters of 'packaging hamburgers'.

'used' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for gingham that I've seen before include "Checked material" , "Light cotton checked fabric" , "Fabric in a plaid weave" , "Cotton cloth, maybe checked" , "Lightweight cotton fabric" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian and The Sun.
