ABSTRACT:
The present invention is a food package comprising, in combination, a tray, a collar, and an anchor to resist slideable displacement of the collar relative to the tray. The tray has a plurality of open top food compartments, and, in plan view, is substantially rectangular with a top planar surface defining perimeter edges about the tray and borders between top openings of the compartments. Each compartment has bottom and side surfaces, the bottom surfaces lying substantially in a bottom plane parallel to the top surface of the tray, the sides of adjacent compartments being separated by predetermined spaces. The collar surrounds the tray over the top surface, about a first perimeter edge of the top surface, covering the sides and bottom surfaces of at least a portion of two adjacent compartments and about a second perimeter edge opposite to the first perimeter edge. The anchor is pressed from the collar into a space between the sides of two adjacent compartments to resist slideable displacement of the collar relative to the tray. In a preferred embodiment of this invention the collar also has an integral stand to support the package upright on it's edge with the top surface in a substantially vertical plane. For example, in an embodiment where the collar begins as a strip which is wrapped about the tray, the strip ends may overlap at the joint with an outside end extending from the joint to form a tab. The joint may be placed close to the perimeter of the bottom plane so that the extending tab can act with the corresponding edge of the top surface to support the package upright on its edge.
