ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is packaging which includes two separate compartments, a first compartment for storing a flowable product such as cheese spread, and a second compartment for storing a solid product such as crackers. The first compartment, housing the flowable product, includes a lid having a scored portion which is broken upon bending of the packaging along a longitudinal bending region. To prevent unintentional discharge of the flowable product prior to its intended use, such as during shipping or other handling in which the flowable compartment may inadvertently be bent in the longitudinal direction, and thereby rupture the lid at the score line with the flowable product being dispensed therethrough, the flowable product compartment is separably attached to the solid product compartment along a side of the flowable compartment perpendicular to the longitudinal bendable region to increase its rigidity to bending in the longitudinal direction. A flexible polymeric film may be peelably sealed over the lid of the first compartment to restrict disbursement of product in the event of a premature rupture of the second portion of the lid, and to maintain the lid free of the scored portion of the lid, and to maintain the lid free of contaminants during shipping and handling.
