A packaging device incorporating a breathable peel/reseal film and enabling a preservation process for allowing for the distribution, storage and multiple servings of a food product, particularly perishable food product(s), and initiating and controlling the transmission rates, respiration rates or deterioration of the perishable food product(s) and thereby, maintaining good internal and external food quality and normal development of flavor and aroma characteristics. The packaging device includes a plurality of atmospheric control attributes that modulates or controls the atmosphere within the packaging device as the food product(s) respire in order to promote the extended shelf-life of the food product and the maintenance of the quality and desirable marketable characteristics of the food product. The atmospheric control attributes can include perforations that may be positioned in breathable peel/reseal film portion of the package to allow the product respiration for multiple servings without substantially altering the shelf life extension properties of the packaging device.

A container including a tray and a lidding film is provided. The lidding film is removably coupled to the tray and includes a breakable layer, a lidding layer coupled to the breakable layer, and a PSA layer. A reseal portion of the breakable layer is sealed to a flange of the tray. The PSA layer is arranged between the lidding layer and the breakable layer. The PSA layer includes a reseal portion to adhere to the reseal portion of the breakable layer. The reseal portion of the breakable layer separates from an inner portion when the container is initially opened such that the reseal portion of the breakable layer remains sealed to the flange and the inner portion of the breakable layer remains coupled to the lidding layer. The container is resealed by adhering the reseal portion of the PSA layer to the reseal portion of the breakable layer.

A recyclable packaging structure for use in a packaging structure. The packaging structure comprises a first structure having an inner surface and an outer surface, and a second structure having an inner surface and an outer surface. The outer surface of the second structure is adhesively bonded to the inner surface of the first structure by an adhesive layer. The surface energy of the inner surface of the first structure is above 42 dyne, and the surface energy of the outer surface is between 32-42 dyne.
