Abstract (en)

A relatively large volume meal or snack food package (10). A pair of elongated generally rectangular trays (11,12) meet along a joining line (32), allowing the two trays to be positioned side-by-side or folded about the joining line with their tops facing each other. Each tray has at least two compartments, preferably approximately 3/4 to 1 inch in depth (19.05 to 25.4 mm), at least 2 1/2 inches (63.5 mm) in width and having a length at least double its width. Each tray contains a food or other product and the compartments, or at least the compartments containing a food product, are sealed with a transparent flexible film (40). The overall shape of the space occupied by the compartments of each tray is essentially the same as the corresponding space of the other tray, such that when folded about the joining line with the tops of the trays facing each other, the package is generally brick shaped. <IMAGE>
