Abstract

Containers for meat or other objects that give off liquid conventionally have an absorbent sponge material placed in the base so as to soak up the liquid. This adds to manufacturing and material costs. Therefore the present invention proposes a container 1 having one or more sidewalls 10, and a base 5 having a plurality of apertures 30 for retaining liquid by capillary action. The apertures have a depth of 30 to 60 % their diameter, which is deep enough to provide effective retention of liquid by capillary action, but not so deep that thermoforming of the container 1 becomes problematic due to limitations of the thermoforming process. Also disclosed are moulds and methods for forming the container 1.
