A method and apparatus for manufacturing an embossed sanding sponge includes a first roller, a press base, and a conveyor. The first roller is mounted about an axis and configured to be rotatably driven about the axis. The first roller also includes a circumferential surface having a predetermined channel pattern. The press base is positioned proximate to the first roller and configured to compress the sponge material against the first roller. The conveyor has a support surface configured to translate and support the sponge material. In use, the circumferential surface of the roller engages the sponge material. The roller and the sponge material respectively rotate and translate in order to continuously press the predetermined channel pattern against the sponge material for manufacturing the embossed sanding sponge.

A container is provided with a flange defining a container opening that may help expunge food product as the film and seal head comes down on the container flange. The flange of the container opening has a predetermined angle. The container flange with its sealing surface generally deflects or angularly pivots when sealed with the film during the sealing process. The container flange and film may push product contamination from the sealing surfaces inwardly into the container. The flange may be continuous about the periphery of the container opening.
