Abstract

A food package for sliced food products to be maintained with a fluffed appearance, the package including a rigid base member forming a compartment for receiving the food product and a rigid lid sealed to the compartment. Advantageously, the base member includes a bottom wall and side wall portions that are configured to engage the food product to hold the slices in a fluffed arrangement thereof. Preferably, one or more tapered side wall portions hold the food product upwardly toward the lid and inwardly toward a center of the package. In preferred embodiments, the base member and lid provide a rigid-rigid construction of the food package. In preferred embodiments, the food package is also configured to stand-up in a vertical display orientation and does not require the food product be contained within a sealed pouch within the compartment.

The food package of Claim 1 wherein one or more of the side wall portions include a ramp section extending downwardly and inwardly at an oblique angle toward the bottom wall, such that the compartment is tapered and adapted to push the sliced food product upward toward a viewing window of the rigid lid and minimize a volume of the sliced food product subject to compression forces from the weight of the food product thereabove in order to maintain the fluffed arrangement of the sliced food product as it appears through the viewing window.
4. The food package of Claim 1 wherein one or more the side wall portions includes a ramp section that extends downward and inward toward the bottom wall at an oblique angle for holding the sliced food product upward and inward toward a center of the food package.
5. The food product of Claim 4 wherein a rear side wall portion has a rear ramp section for holding the sliced food product toward a front side wall portion, such that a center of gravity of the food package is lowered when the food package is stood up on a support surface of the front side wall portion in a vertical orientation.
6. The food package of Claim 5 wherein the rear ramp section for holding the sliced food product upward toward the rigid lid, such that a center of gravity of the food package is shifted toward the rigid lid when the food package is stood up on the support surface of the front side wall portion in the vertical orientation.
7. The food package of Claim 4 further comprising a foot portion extending substantially vertically from the opening adjacent to the rear side wall portion, the foot portion having a base that is coplanar with the bottom wall, the foot portion for providing support for the food package in a horizontal orientation.
8. The food package of Claim 7 wherein the foot portion comprises two foot portions positioned at opposite corners of the rear side wall portion, the base of the two foot portions and the bottom wall forming a tripod support for the food package in the horizontal orientation.
9. The food package of Claim 1 wherein one of the side wall portions is configured to support the food package in a vertical orientation on a support surface with the bottom wall extending up from the support surface.
10. The food package of Claim 1 wherein each of the side wall portions has an upper section that extends substantially vertically downward from the opening about a periphery of the opening, a portion of the rigid lid adapted to fit within the opening and nest with the upper section.
11. The food package of Claim 1 further comprising channels formed in at least a portion of one or more of the side wall portions, the channels extending outward from the compartment and extending lengthwise substantially vertically, the channels adapted to provide structural stability to the food package and to assist in gas flushing the food package.
12. The food package of Claim 1 wherein the rigid lid hermetically seals to the rigid base member to seal the sliced food product within the compartment to avoid the need for sealing the sliced food product in a separate pouch within the compartment.
13. The food package of Claim 12 wherein the rigid lid and the rigid base member include a reclosing mechanism for allowing the rigid lid to be reclosed over the opening after the rigid lid is unsealed from the rigid base member.
24. The food package of Claim 12 further comprising at least one channel formed in the rigid lid for reducing the likelihood of deformation of the rigid lid upon unsealing the food package.
15. The food package of Claim 1 in combination with the sliced food product contained within the food package.
16. A food package for sliced food products, the food package comprising:
a base member having a compartment for receiving the slices of food product therein;
an upper opening of the compartment through which the slices are inserted into the compartment;
a bottom wall of the compartment having a predetermined size smaller than that of the compartment upper opening;
a cover sized to fit over the upper opening for retaining the food slices in the compartment; and at least one tapered wall extending between the bottom wall to bias the food slices toward the cover for holding the slices against shifting.
17. The food package of claim 16 wherein the cover includes a clear window portion thereof, and a side wall portion of the compartment extending generally normal to the bottom wall toward the upper opening for providing a vertical display orientation for viewing the food slices through the cover window with the side wall portion adjacent to or engaged with a support surface and the bottom wall extending upward therefrom.
18. The food package of Claim 16 wherein the bottom wall and the at least one tapered wall form a tapered compartment adapted to push the sliced food product upward toward a viewing window of the cover and minimize a volume of the food slices subject to compression forces from the weight of the food slices thereabove in order to maintain a fluffed arrangement of the food slices as it appears through the viewing window.
19. The food package of Claim 16 further comprising a foot portion formed in a tapered wall, the foot portion having a base that is coplanar with the bottom wall, the foot portion for providing support for the food package in a horizontal orientation.
20. The food package of Claim 16 wherein the cover hermetically seals to the base member to seal the food slices within the compartment to avoid the need for sealing the food slices in a separate pouch within the compartment.
21. A food package having a horizontal orientation and slightly inclined or vertical display orientation, the food package comprising:
a base member having an upper periphery with the package in the horizontal orientation thereof, there being a center of the upper periphery;
a main compartment of the base member for receiving a food product therein;
