    摘要: A food package having a heat-sealed cover composed of a lower plastic film and an upper plastic film which is distinct and separate from the lower plastic film is disclosed. The upper and lower films are collapsible, i.e., they can be creased and crumpled into a ball without effort or folded as a tissue paper. The lower film and upper film are heat-sealed to each other at respective perimeter edges to define a closed, watertight internal housing filled with a modified atmosphere. A tray, configured to house the food product, is inserted in the closed internal housing but is not fixed to the upper or lower film. The food packaging described herein allows a substantial reduction of plastic compared to those currently on the market, while guaranteeing its mechanical rigidity, and the long-term quality of the product. A method for producing the packaging is also disclosed.

    摘要: An ovenable cooking apparatus for facilitating the cooking of food components while maintaining the separateness thereof may include a first container for holding a first food component, and a second container for holding a second food component. The separation of the first food component from the second food component maintains the surface area for the first and second food components to facilitate heating of the first and second food components. The first food component may have a liquid based content for producing steam when heated, and one or both of the first container and the second container may define a passage for providing airflow and steam flow for contacting the second container and/or the second foodstuff and heating or steaming the second food component. Additionally, the second container may be steam impermeable for cooking bread and the like.

    摘要: An insert for a flow wrapped packaging assembly has a bottom wall (18) and a peripheral wall (20) extending from said bottom wall to define an interior volume (21) for containing product (14). The insert has a tongue (20) at a top end of the peripheral wall which is movable between a closed position in which it at least partially closes the interior volume at the top end of the insert and an open position in which it does not impede access to the interior volume. The insert (12) can be top-filled when upright with the tongue open and then moved to a horizontal orientation for flow wrapping using a HFFS process with the tongue closed to prevent the contents spilling out. The insert is particularly suitable for enabling a plurality of disc-shape products, such as beverage pads, to be flow wrapped using HFFS processes.

    摘要: This invention relates to a label arrangement for consumer destined food packages. A food package (10, 50) comprises at least an undertray (20) and a lidstock (40) arranged together defining in between a cavity for a food product (30). The label arrangement according to the invention comprises a printable face material (110) and a pressure sensitive adhesive (120) for attachment of the label (100) onto the package (10, 50). The adhesive surface of the pressure sensitive adhesive (120) layer is arranged to have one or more adhesion free (550) and printed zones and the label (100) is further arranged with one or more weakenings (700) through the label face material (110) allowing to manually fold the part of the label with adhesion free (550) and printed zone for visual inspection of said printing while the label (100) otherwise remains attached to the package (10, 50). The label (100) is arranged onto the package (10, 50) so that said manual folding of the part of the label with the adhesion free (550) and printed zone increases visual access to food product (30) in the package (10, 50).
