(54) PACKAGE, METHOD AND EQUIPEMENT FOR PACKAGING A PASTY FOOD PRODUCT


(57) A pack (10) intended for a food product of paste consistency, typically processed cheese, comprises a wrapper erected from a blank (14) of essentially square outline (18) folded in such a way as to create a bottom (16) from which the sides (20, 22, 24) of the pack extend at right angles, and a lid consisting in a set of flaps (26, 28, 30) which extend from the sides (20, 22, 24) and are folded parallel to the bottom (16). The blank (14) presents a substantially quadrangular outline and is folded in such a manner that the bottom (16) will appear triangular, or as a sector to a circle, whilst the top flaps (26, 28, 30) are of dimensions sufficient in combination to conceal the entire upwardly directed surface presented by the portion of the packaged product, so that there is no need for a separate top.
