The disclosure provides a food elevating platform with adjustable elements to selectively engage the walls of a container. The food elevating platform includes a mesh screen to allow liquids from food to pass through and collect in the bottom of the container. The food elevating platform includes one or more engaging surfaces about the edge of the platform that also may engage the surface of the container. One or more logos and/or text may be incorporated into the food elevating platform and/or its components.

A rotisserie strainer device; the rotisserie strainer device includes a platform sized and configured to be positionable in a bottom-portion of a host rotisserie-goods-container and elevate a rotisserie-food-item from an interior base section of the rotisserie-goods-container. The platform includes a planar section having a plurality of apertures allowing liquid to pass therethrough, a center support, a first-foot, and a second-foot. The platform is provided for elevating the rotisserie-food-item from the interior base section of the host rotisserie-goods-container in order to prevent contact between the rotisserie-food-item and the liquid collected in the bottom-portion of the host rotisserie-goods-container.

Systems and methods for nesting product packaging with strainer inserts are provided. Product packaging systems may include, for example, a product container with a lid and with a strainer insert disposed within the container. In some embodiments, the strainer inserts may be snapped into place in a channel, groove, or other retention feature of the parent container, thus permitting coupling without the use of adhesives or fasteners. The strainer inserts, when coupled within the parent containers, may define a drainage volume in which product fluids may drain to maintain the product separately from the fluids, e.g., to prolong shelf-life of the product.

A double-walled container apparatus 12 with the structure of two integrally connected and adjacent containers 14 and 15 extending in the same direction with an air gap 16 between them, formed as a single body out of thermoformable material, and of a thin-walled nature suitable for mass-production, and whereby at least one or more apertures 13 are formed in at least one or more container walls to enable egression of fluids. A double-walled container apparatus 12 may have an upper lid 18 and/or a double-walled container apparatus 12 may have a lower lid 20.

The invention comprises a container for food products that extrudate liquids comprising a tray and a bowed insert. The tray bottom wall has at least one raised area, at least one lower surface, and at least one sidewall. A plurality of flutes are disposed on the inner surface sidewall(s). A plurality of elevated portions extend upwardly from the bowed insert. The insert is secured within the tray. A reservoir is defined between the insert and the tray bottom wall. The elevated portions of the insert, the flutes, and the at least one raised area of the tray bottom define a plurality of channels.

Described is an assembly (1) comprising a wall element (2), defining a circumferential bonding strip (3) running over the wall element, and a flexible flat film connected to the bonding strip with a continuous circumferential bonding (4), which wall element and film define two opposite walls (2a, 5a) of a chamber (5), characterized in that the wall element further comprises a base plane B defined by the wall element, at least two corner elements (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) positioned on a distance to one another, which extend substantially perpendicular with a height H (Ha, Hb, Hc, Hd) in the same direction from the base plane of the wall element, each corner element defining an angle A (Aa, Ab, Ac, Ad) of the chamber with an angle line which is substantially perpendicular to the base plane, strip sections (7a, 7b, 7c, 7d), each connecting two corner elements that define adjacent corners of the chamber to one another, the distance between the strip sections and the base plane being less than H, wherein the continuous circumferential bonding strip runs over the strip sections and over the corner elements and at least in the area of the corner elements at a distance from the base surface corresponding to height H (Ha, Hb, Hc, Hd), and wherein the outer contour of the film is shaped in such a way that the outer contour of the film corresponds to that of the circumferential bonding strip. A method for the production of such an assembly is also described.

The disclosure relates to trays for segregating liquid in a reservoir space distinct from a storage space. The trays include a body having a floor and a platform spaced away from the floor and bearing at least one orifice or gap extending therethrough for facilitating fluid flow from the storage space into the reservoir space under the influence of gravity. The gaps and/or orifices are relatively centrally located, which tends to inhibit retrograde flow of fluid from the reservoir space into the storage space. The platform can include one or more deflectable doors defined by elongated gaps. Deflection of a door, such as by a protrusion extending from the body, opens the door-defining gap into a larger opening to facilitate fluid flow. The platform can also have one or more adaptors and/or sockets for securing its position relative to the floor.

A formed article includes a rigid film, a liner film, and a cavity. The rigid film includes a thickness and a line of weakness. The rigid film and the liner film are joined to each other. Further, the line of weakness is positioned in the cavity. The formed article is configured to facilitate separation (e.g., peeling) of the rigid film from the liner film.

An ice cream holder includes a lid, a holder, and a cup. The holder that secures a cone-shaped pastry includes a platform, a lateral wall, a central opening, and an intermediate flange. The cup and the lid are oppositely positioned of each other about the holder so that the cone-shaped pastry and the ice cream can be protected. A bottom edge of the lateral wall is perimetrically connected around the platform. The central opening concentrically traversing through the platform thus allowing the cone-shaped pastry to be placed. The intermediate flange is perimetrically connected around a top edge of the lateral wall and perimetrically engaged around a bottom flange of the cup. The cup allows the user to grasp or place the ice cream holder in existing cup holders for transportation. A top flange of the lid is compressionally engaged around the intermediate and bottom flanges, protecting the ice cream.

A seafood storage and/or transportation container is provided. The seafood container comprises a container, the container having a bottom wall, two side walls and two end walls. The container also comprises at least one channel, the channel having an inlet at the lower portion of the interior of the container, a hollow body that extends upward, and an outlet that communicates with the exterior of the container. The at least one channel assists in removal of water from the lower portion of the container, which will be accompanied by some of the waste product from the stored seafood. When a water source is provided overhead, the container of the present invention allows the stored seafood product to be submerged in water, while also obtaining a substantially complete turnover of water within the container (including waste products). This facilitates the mixing of water in the container by drawing away the possibly contaminated water from near the bottom of the container and pulling down the cleaner, oxygen rich water from near the top of the container. Preferably, there is a lid hingedly attached to the top of the seafood container, having at least one trough that serves to trap water as it passes over the lid. The water is retained in the trough until it enters the inside of the container through a plurality of holes contained therein.
