(54) | Snack-food packaging |
(57) A snack-food packaging particularly suitable for snack-foods having two components
which cannot be stored together, such as pieces of a dry snack-food and a liquid dip
therefor. The packaging has a shell (10) moulded from a plastics material to define
first and second open-topped containers (11 and 12) with a flange (13) extending around
the mouths to the containers. A tapering gap 19 exists between the containers, into
which a consumer may press his fingers, to hold the container, the region (18) of
the flange (13) flexing if necessary to widen the gap (19). A strippable cover sheet
(20) is sealed to the flange (13) to maintain the contents of the containers wholly
separate until the cover is stripped. |
