A method and apparatus for producing trays that are or are not coated with a plastic film and that retain modified atmospheres and the trays obtained. The apparatus allows for obtaining trays with different structures, which include the forming of the trays from previously elaborated preforms, which may or may not have a separator inside the trays and optionally coated with a plastic film inside. It also consists of the method for obtaining the trays and the trays obtained. The trays coated with a plastic film have the capacity to contain atmospheres with a composition of gases different from that of the air inside them, to extend the time of storage and conservation of food products. This is achieved by means of a closed top seal of the tray. The trays also have a simple closure or capping, without modifying their atmosphere.

A machine for transitioning a box cutout from a flat configuration to a collapsed box configuration includes a first drive wheel configured to drive a box cutout towards a plunging area; a plunger configured to apply force to a central portion of a bottom panel of the box cutout so as to fold the box about a lateral bisecting axis and propel at least a portion of the box cutout downward; and opposed second and third drive wheels configured to grab a box cutout propelled downward by the plunger and further draw the box cutout downward into a collapsed box configuration within a collection area. A box cutout transitioned to a collapsed box configuration in this manner may include a bottom panel having plurality of unbroken minor score lines and broken major score lines.
