  • a package that provides features including an anti-fog package material, a seal that facilitates easy opening of the package (e.g., an "easy peel” feature), self-venting features for permitting venting during heating of packaged materials, and/or a package configuration (e.g., a gusset) that permits the package to stand generally upright.
  • Packages for storing various types of products such as food products are generally known. Often, though, these packages may lack one or more features that facilitate the preparation of food products stored in such packages, in addition to providing one or more benefits related to the production, merchandising, and/or sale of such packages.
  • the present application discloses an improved package that may provide one or more advantages over conventional packages.
  • To provide an inexpensive, reliable, and widely adaptable package that avoids the problems of conventional packages would represent a significant advance in the art.
  • One embodiment relates to a package comprising a first wall, a second wall coupled to the first wall at a peelably openable seal portion, a gusset coupled to the first wall and the second wall, wherein the first wall, the second wall, and gusset define an interior space, a vent portion provided on at least one of the first wall and the second wall, wherein the vent portion is configured to permit gases to escape from the interior space, and a food product provided within the interior, wherein at least one of the first wall and the second wall comprises an anti- fog material on a surface facing the interior space.
  • FIG. 1 Another embodiment relates to a package comprising a pair of generally opposing side walls coupled together to define an interior, a vent portion provided on at least one of the opposing side walls and configured to permit fluid to escape from the interior, and an anti-fog material provided on at least a portion of one of the opposing side walls, wherein the opposing sidewalls define a width of the package that narrows along a length of the package.
  • Yet another embodiment relates to A method of providing a package having a food product comprising providing a package having at least one sidewall with an anti-fog material, a vent portion, and a support portion coupled to the at least one sidewall that supports the package in a substantially upright position, introducing a food product into the package, and sealing the package with a low-bond adhesive to provide a peelably openable seal portion.
  • FIG. 1 is a front view of a package according to an exemplary embodiment.
  • FIG. 2 is a side view of the package of FIG. 1 according to an exemplary embodiment.
  • FIG. 3 is a cross-section view of the package of FIG. 1 prior to being sealed according to an exemplary embodiment.

  • FIG. 8 is a cross-section view of a package material according to an exemplary embodiment.
  • Various exemplary embodiments of the package disclosed herein illustrate a variety of features that provide advantages over or address shortcomings of more conventional packages.
  • certain packages may lack an anti-fog feature that prevents fog from forming on the interior surface of, for example, a clear package. Without such a feature, it may be difficult for consumers to view the contents of the package and the package may appear less sightly to the consumer.
  • certain packages may not stand in an upright position (e.g., in the case of long, narrow packages consisting generally of two pieces of plastic or other material sealed along the entire outer edge).
  • a consumer may be required to lift the package from, for example, a display shelf, in order to view the package information and/or contents.
  • certain packages may be provided without any venting features. Without such features, packages heated using, for example, a microwave oven, may tend to rupture as the pressure increases within the sealed package. Additionally, many packages are provided without means for easy opening of the package, often making the task of opening a package a difficult and potentially messy one. Various embodiments of the package disclosed herein address these and other disadvantages associated with conventional packages.
  • a package 10 (e.g., a pouch, bag, container, etc.) is shown according to an exemplary embodiment.
