A foodstuff packaging assembly for transporting a sandwich, said sandwich having, a top, a bottom and a circumferential outside edge, said packaging assembly comprising a substantially cylindrical transit guard having a top end edge at one end of the cylinder and a bottom end edge at the other end of the cylinder and a side wall having an internal side wall surface and an external side wall surface, the internal side wall surface of the transit guard being so sized, shaped and configured as to substantially correspond to the circumferential outside edge of the sandwich in order to restrain the sandwich and its contents during transit. Optionally the food packaging assembly further comprises a packaging box adapted to accommodate a cylindrical transit guard, said packaging box comprising a bottom portion having a lowermost-in-use internal bottom surface, a top portion having an upper-most-in-use internal top surface, and at least one side wall having an internal side surface, the top portion and the bottom portion being adapted such that the packaging box can adopt an open configuration or a closed configuration.

Disclosed are unique resealable packages for snacks. Some embodiments comprise rigid sidewalls configured to structurally support a flexible bag to maintain the thickness of the bag as it is laid on its back and opened for product consumption. In addition, disclosed packages include a resealable flexible flap having a raised pull tab for use by a consumer to peel open the bag by separating this flap from the front of the bag, and then resealing the bag by laying the flap back over the opening. The rigid sidewalls allow the integrity of the product to be maintained after the bag is resealed so that the product is not crushed if the bag is stored for later use. Edges of the peelable flap are coated with a resealable adhesive, while one side or end of the flap is connected to a portion of the bag's front surface. The pull tab portion of the flap can mate with an opening, such as a slot, at the top end seal of the bag. Once the pull tab is engaged with this opening, the flap is held back out of the way of the opening so that it does not interfere with the consumer's reach for the product, and so it does not fall back towards the bag's surface to inadvertently close the bag when not desired.

Containers for baked goods such as cookies may include liners and bags. A liner may be formed from paperboard and include an enclosure that is defined by a plurality of panels. A lower portion of a baked good or another food product may be received within the enclosure, and an upper portion of the baked good may extend above the enclosure and be visibly supported by one or the panels. The liner may have dimensions that are selected to standardize the size of a baked good, and may be inserted into an appropriately sized bag that may be folded over the liner or otherwise sealed. The enclosure of the liner enables the baked good to be presented vertically on a shelf, rather than horizontally, and in series with other baked goods.

The present invention relates to a cupcake holder for secure transport. In one embodiment, the cupcake holder comprises a vase, a mount for mounting a plurality of cupcakes, attached to the vase, a plurality of support pins attached to the mount, projections of pairs of the support pins of configured to support a cupcake; and at least one skewer corresponding to each of the plurality of cupcakes, inserted through each of the cupcake into the mount.

The invention is directed toward a cake tray that has a number of hand holding or gripping recesses for conveniently carrying the cake tray or base. The cake tray further include finger gripping recesses formed by upwardly projecting pads and protrusion.

A condiment squeeze packet for transporting a desired condiment and has a container body, a fastening mechanism, and a spout enclosure. The container body has a first layer and a second layer that are perimetrically sealed together to form a fill opening about the top of the container body and a disbursement opening about the bottom of the container body. The fastening mechanism is positioned adjacent to the fill opening and allow the fill opening to be selectively opened and closed. The spout enclosure is integrated with the container body, adjacent to the disbursement opening and temporarily seals the disbursement opening closed. The spout enclosure may be configured as a one-time seal or as a reusable seal. The fill opening is larger than the disbursement opening, allowing for the condiments to be more easily loaded through the fill opening and dispensed in a more controlled manner through the disbursement opening.

A method of providing packaged food items on display in a retail store includes preparing a plurality of edible body portions of respective food items in a preparation facility, and loading the food items in a container. The container has a lid with at least one protrusion extending downward from a lid upper surface. After applying an edible decorating product to a decoration portion of an upper surface of the edible body portion of each food item, the lid is closed, thereby bringing respective retainers of the protrusion into abutment with undecorated marginal portions of the upper surface of the edible body portions of each food item. The container is then placed for display on a sales shelf in the retail store.

The layered cake stabilizing system comprises a stabilizer and one or more cake pans. The one or more cake pans may be configured to bake multiple layers of a cake. The one or more cake pans may be operable to create a central aperture in each layer of the cake. The stabilizer may comprise a stabilizer rod rising vertically from the top center of the stabilizer. The multiple layers of the cake may be placed on the stabilizer such that the multiple layers stack to form the cake and the stabilizer rod passes through the central apertures of individual layers. The stabilizer rod may prevent horizontal movement of the individual layers. The layered cake stabilizing system may further comprise an outer box for protecting the cake and a cake lifter for placing the stabilizer and the cake into the outer box.

Packing tray for protecting fragile hollow conical objects, such as conical ice cream cones, which allows a stack of such conical objects to be held securely in a pocket of the packing tray, and which allows a plurality of stacked trays and objects to be packaged in cartons. The packing tray is a plastic foam sheet having a top wall and one or more recessed elongated pockets extending downwardly from the top wall, each pocket holding a stack of conical objects. Each pocket includes a floating bottom and flexible and fluted sidewall pleats for dissipating exterior applied forces and snugly engaging a stack of cones held in the pocket, thereby improving product protection, in a relatively low cost and lighter weight construction.
