ABSTRACT:
A package for containing solids and other consumable contents is provided that includes a tray having walls and a bottom panel defining a container space and a tray cover having a lid wall panel that encloses the container space. The package thus closed effects a storage container for the contents. The tray cover is constructed of a foldable sheet material. The tray cover includes flap panels that are foldable about flap fold lines over a side of the tray. A removable strip portion and lid separation cuts are provided to facilitate separation of a substantial portion of the lid wall panel from the tray to allow consuming access to the contents. The removable strip portion is defined by interior and exterior partial cuts scored into the tray cover including a plurality of aligned interrupted exterior cuts that are disposed for an extent coincidentally with the flap fold lines. The removable strip portion thus constructed helps ensure folding of the flap panel about the intended fold line while maintaining the strength and integrity of the folded edge.
