Definitions
- plastic containers to package, store, transport and display fresh food. These containers may be sealed with a lidding film to protect the food within the container from the surrounding environment. Additionally, the atmosphere within such containers may be modified to enhance the shelf life and/or appearance of the fresh food within the container.
- figure 4 is a schematic top representation of the packaging system of figure 3;
- figure 8 is a schematic perspective representation of the packaging system of figures 6 and 7, wherein the container and the support are shown in an assembled configuration;
- figure 9 is a schematic top representation of the packaging system of figure 8, shown without its support;
- ribs 7 formed in the base 5 of the container 2. These ribs 7 have a substantially flat upper surface and form a supporting and positioning platform for the support 3.
- One or more ribs 8 are formed in the side walls 6 of the container 2. The ribs 8 have a slopped upper surface (relative to the side wall) to facilitate the insertion of the support 3 and a lower surface which is substantially perpendicular to the side wall 6 so as to prevent the support 3 from dislodging itself. Thus, the support 3 is retained between the base ribs 7 and the wall ribs 8.
- the side walls 6 may comprise recesses, such as recesses formed by two ribs, between which the support 3 can be inserted.
- each perforation 15 has a diameter of 1mm to 1.5mm. Within this diameter range, the perforations 15 are large enough for liquids to seep through, but small enough so that the meat product is not bowing into the apertures thereby blocking fluid passage. However, it has been observed that diameters of 2 mm or more leads to some extrusion of meat through the holes. Preferably, the perforations 15 are located at around 25mm from each other.
