A tray having: an annular sidewall having upper and lower annular peripheral edges, an upper annular peripheral rim which is integral with the upper annular peripheral edge, and a base having an annular peripheral edge which is integral with the lower annular peripheral edge of the sidewall, wherein the rim, the sidewall and the base are composed of a thermoplastic polymer and the sidewall and the base define a central concavity for packaging a product, wherein the base has a lattice structure of elongate foam ribs interconnected by foam junctions, wherein each foam rib has opposite ends, and each end is integrally connected to either the annular peripheral edge of the base or one of the foam junctions, wherein each foam rib and each foam junction has opposed upper and lower unfoamed solid skins of the thermoplastic polymer on opposite sides of a central cellular foam core of the thermoplastic polymer

A removable fluid capturing system adapted for installation onto a support structure/frame located under an oil rig catwalk, said fluid capturing system comprising: an elongated trough adapted for insertion under an aperture located on said catwalk; means to secure said trough to structure of the catwalk wherein, upon use, the system is capable of collected fluid seeping from removed pipes through said aperture and directing the fluid to a catchment basin located at a position proximate said second end of the trough. Also disclosed are methods using such system.

Containers for storing food in a storage compartment may include a base portion of the container. The storage compartment is sealed with a film to get the food stored in the storage compartment fresh. The container further includes a reversible lid that is able to attach to the base portion of the container in two different configurations. In a first configuration the reversible lid attaches to the base portion without affecting the seal created by the film. In a second configuration the reversible lid attaches to the base portion when the lid is inverted and the film is removed from the base portion.

An apparatus for use with an edible ink printer such as the Primera Eddie® edible ink printer for the consistent placement of food hems on a rotating carousel platter printer feed mechanism, said apparatus being a tray insert accessory which fits onto said platter in place of a nominally-sized food item and comprises a tab for consistent placement of the tray with respect to the platter and a protruding alignment system for consistent placement of food items on the tray, allowing the use of said edible ink printer and carousel platter with food items of a much larger variety of shapes and sizes.

To provide a food storage container capable of preventing penetration of blood and juice and there is almost no level difference in the four corners not to generate air space even when a top seal is applied. A food storage container is formed in a heavy paper material from a pulp material, wherein the heavy paper material is coated with a thermoplastic resin having a heat sealability, a folding piece connecting a side face piece with a neighboring side face piece is provided on each of four corners of the heavy paper material, one end of an upper end of the folding piece reaches a position between an inner end of a flange portion of one of the two neighboring side face pieces arranged on an upper surface and an intermediate position of the inner end and an outer end of the flange portion, the other end of the upper end of the folding piece does not reach the flange portion of the other of the two neighboring side face pieces, and the two neighboring side face pieces are overlapped and adhered with each other sandwiching the folding piece. Thus, a connection portion of the flange portions can be formed flatly.
