A membrane for use with a container is provided herein. The membrane comprises a first layer comprising a peripheral area defined by a first perimeter of the first layer, and a first line of weakness formed inward of the first perimeter. The first line of weakness defines a flap. The membrane further comprises a second layer comprising a peripheral zone defined by a second perimeter of the second layer and a second line of weakness formed inward of the second perimeter. The second line of weakness defines a central portion. The membrane further comprises a first seal area comprising at least a portion of the peripheral zone of the second layer being adhered to at least a portion of the peripheral area of the first seal area.

Disclosed is a packaging container comprising a container body having a bottom end and a top end. The container body comprises a tubular container wall. The packaging container is closed at the bottom end by a base disc which is attached to the inner surface of the container body at the bottom end of the container body. The packaging container comprises a top end closure including a lid. The container body comprises a laminate body sheet material comprising a carton layer and a thermoplastic welding layer being arranged on an inner surface of the container body. The base disc comprises a laminate base sheet material comprising a carton layer and an inner thermoplastic welding layer being arranged on a surface of the base disc which is facing towards the interior of the container body.

A cover sheet to be secured to the tray of a container is described. The cover sheet includes a first layer and a second layer. An adhesive layer is provided between the first and second layers. The first layer has a first cut line that extends across a corner of the cover sheet between a first edge and a second edge to define a tab portion of the first layer. The second layer has a second cut line that extends from the first edge to the second edge or a third edge to define a removable strip of the second layer. Removing the removable strip and the adhered tab portion exposes the adhesive layer on a securing portion of the first layer that can be used to secure the cover sheet to the tray.

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 lidding device (102) includes a first panel (104) comprising a lid (106) configured to cover and seal a food container (108). A second panel (110) is foldably connected to the first panel. A third panel (112) includes a bottom panel opposite the lid, wherein the second panel is foldably connected to the first panel and the third panel. A fourth panel (114) is foldably connected to at least one of the first panel and the third panel, wherein the fourth panel and second panel are configured to at least partially enclose a food container between the second and fourth panels.

In an embodiment, a portion control container can have a body and a lid sealed to the body. The lid can have defined therein a spout-type opening. The spout-type opening can be defined by an initiation region having 100% cut-through the lid that transitions to a pattern of reduced strength having less than 100% penetration through the lid. The container can remain sealed until the lid is separate from the container along the seal to provide a dip-type opening or the lid material is torn at the initiation region and pattern of reduced strength to define a spout-type opening for squeeze dispensing of the product from the container.

A food product package for containing a shingled stack of food product slices is provided including a package bottom and a non-planar periphery, the package bottom having walls oriented to be substantially the same geometry as the shingled stack of food product slices.

A package for containing a shingled stack of food product slices.

Some embodiments of the present disclosure include a puncturable cover for accessing the contents of a container, wherein the puncturable cover includes a plurality of segments separated by a plurality of score lines. In embodiments, the puncturable cover may be part of a storage device for holding dry goods, wherein the storage device includes a container configured to accommodate a volume of the dry goods, the container having a rim; the puncturable cover; and a lid configured to removably cover the puncturable cover, wherein before the puncturable cover is punctured, the score lines extend partially through a width of the puncturable cover.

The present invention relates to a packaging for storing and/or cooking a food product, the packaging comprising a container for holding the food product, and a cover removably fastened to an upper rim of the container characterized in that the cover comprises a weakening line forming a spiral. Further aspects of the invention are the cover as well as the packaged food product.
