Food packaging with stabiliser

Abstract

The present invention relates to a food packaging made of a thermally and/or mechanically mouldable plastic film with two bodies which display an essentially similar cross-section and are connected via at least one joint located between the first and the second body in a manner permitting opening and closing, where at least one of the two bodies has at least one foot serving as a stabiliser and where the foot ensures a stable upright position, which the packaging would not assume at all, or not assume stably, without the foot.

1 . Food packaging made of a thermally and/or mechanically mouldable plastic film with two bodies which display an essentially similar cross-section and are connected via at least one joint located between the first and the second body in a manner permitting opening and closing, characterised in that at least one of the two bodies has at least one foot serving as a stabiliser, where the foot ensures a stable upright position, which the packaging would not assume at all, or not assume stably, without the foot.  
     
     
         2 . Packaging as per  claim 1 , characterised in that the packaging displays at least one foot, allowing stable stacking of at least two such packagings.  
     
     
         3 . Packaging as per  claim 1  or  2 , characterised in that the bodies display an essentially triangular, rectangular, particularly square, or semi-circular cross-section.  
     
     
         4 . Packaging as per one of  claims 1  to  3 , characterised in that the packaging has a length of 50 to 500 mm, preferably 250 to 350 mm, a width of 10 to 200 mm, preferably 40 to 120 mm, particularly preferably 70 to 100 mm, and a height of 10 to 200 mm, preferably 40 to 120 mm, particularly preferably 70 to 100 mm.  
     
     
         5 . Packaging as per one of claims I to  4 , characterised in that the foot or feet is or are moulded into the body, preferably in the form of a protrusion.  
     
     
         6 . Packaging as per one of  claims 1  to  4 , characterised in that the foot or feet is or are fastened to one of the bodies, preferably by welding and/or bonding.  
     
     
         7 . Packaging as per one of claims  1 ,  2 ,  3 ,  4  or  6 , characterised in that the foot or feet is or are solid.  
     
     
         8 . Packaging as per one of  claims 1  to  7 , characterised in that the foot or feet is or are hollow.  
     
     
         9 . Packaging as per one of  claims 1  to  8 , characterised in that the two bodies display a heat-sealing edge.  
     
     
         10 . Packaging as per one of  claims 1  to  9 , characterised in that at least one of the two bodies is provided with a tab for opening and/or swinging open the two bodies.  
     
     
         11 . Packaging as per one of  claims 1  to  10 , characterised in that it displays a closure, preferably a Velcro closure, and can be re-sealed by means of this.  
     
     
         12 . Packaging as per one of  claims 1  to  11 , characterised in that a marking and/or a label is provided on the surface of one of the two bodies or on the surface of both bodies.  
     
     
         13 . Packaging as per one of  claims 1  to  12 , characterised in that it consists of a transparent, gas-tight film.
