Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2016120033A1] The invention relates to a packaging (1) for a food product, in particular for a confectionery hollow body (2), in particular in an egg shape, comprising a curved shell (4) consisting of two partial shells (3) and composed of pre-formed, thin metal foil, the partial shells (3) of which form a hollow interior for accommodating the product, the partial shells (3) being connected to each other at the edges (5) thereof adjoining each other, at a parting plane (6), wherein a tear-open tab (7) branches outward from the edge (5) of at least one of the partial shells, which tear-open tab is formed integrally with the metal foil of the partial shell (3). The problem addressed by the invention is that of improving said packaging to the effect that, despite the simple production of the packaging of the confectionery hollow body, the confectionery hollow body is safely and permanently hygienically packaged therein and the packaging nevertheless can be reliably opened by means of simple handling. This problem is solved, according to the invention, in that the tear-open tab (7) composed of metal foil itself forms the only tear-open means for forming a tear-open segment (8), which extends inward from the tear-open tab (7) across the connection (5) of the partial shells (3).
