ABSTRACT:
A foldable utensil set including a bowl, dish, cup and spoon each foldable from a prescored plastic sheet which is semitransparent to allow angled folds at the corner to be visible as an aesthetic feature. The rims of the bowl and cup have portions at two different levels to prevent liquid from reaching the level of the mating snaps used to secure the bowl and cup in the folded condition. The spoon is folded from a flat sheet having two contiguous sections scored so as to form a handle and bowl portion when folded. The dish has side edges stiffened with a fold over section which also holds the folds in position. Oval shaped scoring is provided as an aesthetic feature and to aid in forming corners on the utensils when being folded.
