Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a container for packaging food products, in particular cured meats or meat or fish or cheeses, etc.
  • Containers made of plastic material or the like are known in the industry for packaging food products, in the form of cold cuts: salami, cured and cooked ham, bresaola, mortadella and others, meat or fish or cheese, etc.
  • the aforementioned containers consist of trays of various shapes and sizes, these trays are generally made by thermoforming, starting from a sheet of thermoplastic material and are formed as open-top containers, closed at the top by a protective sheet made of at least partially transparent material to allow the user to view the content inside the container.
  • the food product is placed and laid at the bottom of these trays, contained laterally by side walls on upper ends of which the protective sheet for top closure is positioned and sealed; the protective sheet can then be removed at the time of use.
  • a further object of the present invention is to provide a container for packaging food products which keeps easily accessible the information relating to the product contained and other data also when opened.
  • a container for packaging food products according to claim 1 is described.
  • the numeral 1 generally designates a tray for a container for packaging food products, e.g. cured meats or meat or fish or cheeses, etc.
  • the food products found in the tray 1 can be in the form of cold cuts.
  • the tray 1, which has an open top shape, can be made of plastic material, or of biodegradable plastic material, or of paper material, or similar materials.
  • the tray 1 is closed at the top by a protective sheet (not shown) which is joined to the tray by means of food-grade glue or the like, and can comprise plastic material, or biodegradable plastic material, or food-grade paper, or similar materials, of a semi-transparent or transparent type, to allow the user to view the contents inside the container.
  • a protective sheet (not shown) which is joined to the tray by means of food-grade glue or the like, and can comprise plastic material, or biodegradable plastic material, or food-grade paper, or similar materials, of a semi-transparent or transparent type, to allow the user to view the contents inside the container.
  • the tray 1 is defined by a bottom 2, by a plurality of side walls 3 and by a perimeter edge 30 for containing a food product (not shown).
  • the bottom 2 is of the corrugated type and comprises corrugations 4, for example rounded humps or the like, which are distributed according to a substantially constant pitch and arranged in a substantially oblique alignment with each other.
  • the corrugations 4 have a constant height and develop a slight curvature C.
  • the corrugations 4 also develop with a slight curvature C, featuring a greater height in the centre which gradually decreases at the corrugations ends.
  • the corrugations 4 form a support surface for the food product.
  • the above-mentioned support surface has a shape which prevents or limits the sliding of the food product along the bottom and/or improves the presentation of the product, especially in the case of food product in the form of cold cuts.
  • the tray 1 can be obtained starting from a semi-finished item consisting of a substantially rectangular sheet, although not excluding alternative shapes depending on the type of food product to be contained.
  • the above-mentioned flattened portion 5 has an extension with a predetermined surface area, having an approximately triangular shape.
  • the flattened portion 5 forms a grip handle for removing the protective sheet, facilitating the opening of the package.
  • the flattened portion of the perimeter edge has any profile and has the shape of an appendix which extends from the perimeter edge of the tray 1.
  • the flattened portion 5 can be stamped with indications 6 relating to the food product contained, e.g.: type, quantity, production date and expiry date, etc., and/or indications relating to the producer, e.g.: name, logo, address, etc.
  • the flattened portion 5 can be partially or completely covered with the protective sheet which, once detached and lifted, shows some stamped parts, e.g. the manufacturer's logo, creating a surprising effect.
  • the stamping of the flattened portion 5 can be achieved directly through a raised item obtained through the same step of forming the tray 1, therefore the container for packaging food products according to the present invention is simpler and more cost-efficient than conventional food containers that require an additional printing step or other similar steps.
  • Figure 5 shows a sectional view along the plane V-V of the tray of the container of figure 3 showing the reduced thickness of the material from which the tray 1 is built, this is made possible by the presence of the corrugations 4 which help stiffen the structure of tray 1, in particular the structure of the bottom of tray 1.
  • the container for packaging food products according to the present invention requires a minimum quantity of material for its manufacture, as it can be made from thinner material than solutions of the known type.
  • the container for packaging food products according to the present invention is also cheaper to produce and easier to dispose of than solutions of the known type.
