Packaging may include a front box having a cavity to receive a product, a rear box coupled to the front box in a closed position, and a floating band to be slid around the front box and the rear box, thereby maintaining the front and rear box in a closed configuration. The band may be positioned with features such as folded protrusions with corresponding folded protrusions provided on the front box or the rear box.

Aspects of the disclosure relate to a package (92), a carton or tray (90) for packaging one or more articles and a blank (10A, 10B) for forming the carton (90) and a lid (L). The carton comprises a main panel (12), and a plurality of side walls (14, 16, 18) forming a tray (90). The tray (90) may be substantially triangular in shape. At least one of the side walls (14, 16, 18) comprises a major recess (R1, R2, R3) for receiving a portion of a lid (L). The major recess (R1, R2, R3) defines a support edge (SE.sub.1, SE.sub.2, SE.sub.3) for supporting a portion of the lid (L).

Food tray and food related features that provide a structure having a rounded corner appearance and assembly by mechanical folding are provided, among other features. The tray can have a flap directed adjacent and continuing from a series of triangles formed by fold lines wherein the flap is positioned to have a surface that is flush with the surface of an adjacent sidewall when assembled. A series of tab are positioned above the triangles and when assembled the outer edges of the triangles adjoin the tray sidewalls to close the junctions. A heat and pressure process adheres the adjacent surface. The tray can be made from material is recyclable, compostable and/or biodegradable.
