ABSTRACT:
A carton serving as a container for a food product, such as a hamburger. The carton in one embodiment is of the so-called clamshell type and includes an upper lid and a lower tray, both the lid and the tray being of generally truncated pyramidal shape. The novel feature of the clamshell carton permits the packager of the food product to indicate on the carton the type of food product therein. One panel of the carton carries a plurality of shutter panels, the shutter panels overlying and normally covering indicia on an indicia panel. With the packaging of a particular food product in the carton, any one of the plurality of the shutter panels is swung out so as to expose corresponding indicia on the indicia panel. By virtue of this construction, a single carton may be employed for the packaging of a variety of generally similarly sized food products. In another embodiment the carton is of the tube type, wherein one of the two ends of the container is provided with the food product indication construction of this invention.
