A pack comprising a tray (1) constituted of a flat sheet of multi-layer material, with one paper-based lower layer and one plastic material upper layer, which has a perimetric edge (2), and an elongate cut (3) that extends near the perimetric edge (2) and is spaced from it, wherein between the elongate cut (3) and the perimetric edge (2) a portion of the flat sheet is identified which defines a frame (5) that at least partly surrounds an inner part (6) of the flat sheet on which a food product is positioned; at least one protective film (12) fixed to the tray (1) at both a first connecting zone (13) that extends continuously on the inner part (6) of the flat sheet in a closed ring that surrounds the food product, and at a second connecting zone (14) that extends at least along the frame (5) and externally relative to the first connecting zone (13).

A container can include a body having a volume defined therein for retaining a product. The body can include a top surface adapted to be sealed by a lid. The container further includes a channel defined in a portion of the body such that the channel is in fluid communication with the internal volume at a first end and sealed by a portion of the body at an oppositely disposed second end. The container further includes a top flange surrounding the top surface of the body and includes a portion that borders the channel, with removal line disposed in the container to define a removable portion. The removal line extends from a first edge to a second edge and through the channel such that the removable portion can be removed from the body along the removal line to expose the channel.

A package comprises an entirety of a tray (10) having an open side and a ring-shaped cover rim (20) which is located at the open side of the tray (10), at an outer circumferential rim (16) of the tray (10), and which is connected to the tray (10) through a relatively weak breaking portion (30). For the purpose of manufacturing the package, a mold (41) is provided. Also, a sheet (40) is provided and placed in the mold (41), wherein a movement of the sheet (40) is forced in two different directions. The cover rim (20) is formed with an inner ring (21) in which an inward bulge (28) is realized, along at least a portion of the circumference thereof, as an aids in establishing a clamping connection between the cover rim (20) and the tray (10) once the cover rim (20) has been broken away from the tray (10).

A package including a container and a cover sheet, the container having a first section and a second section connected at a breakable joint, the first section includes a well, and the cover sheet is adhered to at least a portion of the first section and at least a portion of the second section and the cover sheet covers the well. Either the first section or the second section is adapted to pivot to assist in breaking the breakable joint in order to separate the first section and the second section, and allow removal of the cover sheet.
