ABSTRACT:
An aid for opening and reopening of rectangular, frozen dessert boxes. The aid is a cut tab which is located in the outer edge portion of the innermost lid of the box. The cut tab includes a curved cut and a scoreline. The curved cut has a circumference of approximately 2/3 of a circle and has its ends connected to the scoreline. The scoreline is inclined at a predetermined angle with the side edge of the lid. The cut tab is located a predetermined distance from a corner and has an area which provides ample finger room for a finger opening. Opening instructions are printed in cut tab area. Another cut tab may be located near the opposite corner of the lid with its scoreline similarly inclined as the other cut tab. To break the bond between the frozen dessert and the lid, one depresses the cut tab inwardly with his finger to create a finger opening and then lifts upwardly with the finger. To reopen a partially emptied box, one places a finger within the finger opening and then lifts upwardly with the finger.
