Abstract (en)
A one-piece open-top thermoformed plastic container (1) with a base portion (10) and sidewalls (12) extending upwardly from the periphery of said base portion, said container being characterized in that the base comprises an array of hollow raised features (11) having an upper flexible portion projected upwardly from said base. The container, whose base is softened by the presence of these hollow raised features (11), is particularly suitable for the packaging of easily bruised products, such as produce and fruits. <IMAGE>
