A package for the storage of food or other suitable products includes a tray and, optionally, a lidding film. The tray is thermoformed, molded, or otherwise shaped to provide a recessed portion and flange, the recessed portion defining a product-receiving cavity. The flange includes a frame portion surrounding the cavity and a margin portion disposed alongside the frame portion and, in some embodiments, extending substantially a full width of the tray. The optional lidding film attaches to both the frame and margin portions and typically seals the cavity. The margin portion and a side wall of the recessed portion may include locking features to allow the margin portion to snap close against the side wall. The package may then be made to stand on end with the margin portion acting as a base. The lidding film may include a peelable/sealable film to allow repeated access to the product while sealing the cavity between uses.

According to at least one exemplary embodiment, optimized packaging may be provided. Optimized packaging may be used, for example, as packaging for leafy green products, produce, or other food items. The optimized packaging may have a frame element and one or more film surfaces.

A packaging assembly having a pair of generally conventional thermoformed containers joined in face-to-face relation by a removable thermoformed snap ring. The thermoformed containers each include a container body with an open mouth, and a peripheral lip extending outwardly about the open mouth. The containers are positioned in opposed relationship with their peripheral lips extending generally adjacent to one another. The snap ring is a generally peripheral body having an internal opening capable of being fitted over the body of at least one of the two containers and a containment flange configured to entrap the adjacent lips of the two containers. In use, the snap ring can be selectively fitted simultaneously over a pair of adjacent container lips to join the containers, for example, to allow two separately packaged products to be sold in combination, and can be easily removed to allow the containers to be separated by the consumer.

A package having an internal divider seated within a base and an outer closure. The divider defines a first compartment within an internal volume of the base, and the outer closure defines a second compartment between the divider and the outer closure. The base and divider are configured so that the divider snap-locks into the base.

Container for packing of liquid, pasty or solid substances or small parts with a cup made of plastic, which is liquid-tight and can be sealed with a sealing film made of plastic. The container has a cover with a stable, plastic edge part, which can be detached from the cup and attached liquid-tight to the upper edge of the container, on the surface of which sealing film can be welded on liquid-tight.

A container is disclosed which includes a body shaped to define a reservoir. The body has a body flange coupled to a sidewall. The body flange forms a perimeter around an opening in the body, and the opening includes a spout and a dipping area. The container also includes a hinge region fixedly adhered to the body flange to form a hinge. The hinge region separates the lid into a first lid portion sealing the spout and a second lid portion sealing the dipping area, and the first lid portion rotates at the hinge to expose the spout and wherein the second lid portion rotates at the hinge to expose the dipping area.

Container (1) for packing of liquid, pasty or solid substances or small parts with a cup (2) made of plastic, which is liquid-tight and can be sealed with a sealing film (8) made of plastic.

The container (1) has a cover (3) with a stable, plastic edge part (6), which can be detached from the cup (2) and attached liquid-tight to the upper edge of the container (2), on the surface (6a) of which sealing film (8) can be welded on liquid-tight.

According to at least one exemplary embodiment, optimized packaging may be provided. Optimized packaging may be used, for example, as packaging for leafy green products, produce, or other food items. The optimized packaging may have a frame element and one or more film surfaces.

A method for forming a container having an injection-molded feature. The method includes obtaining a blank, forming the blank into a three-dimensional article having at least one sidewall, and forming the injection-molded feature extending around the perimeter of the article. The injection-molded feature comprises an anchor portion and a flange portion. The anchor portion is in contact with an interior surface of the at least one sidewall and the flange portion extends from the anchor portion outwardly from the at least one sidewall.
