Method for packaging bread products

Abstract

The present application provides a tray for stacking flatbread in a partially overlapping relationship to each other. The tray includes a structure having a plurality of recesses therein, each of the recesses having an essentially planer trailing and an essentially planer leading surfaces extending between opposing sides of the tray, the recesses therewith arranged inclined relative to each other to form a saw-tooth pattern having peaks and troughs.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A tray for stacking flatbread in a partially overlapping relationship to each other comprising a structure having a plurality of recesses therein, each of the recesses having an essentially planer trailing and an essentially planer leading surfaces extending between opposing sides of the tray, the recesses therewith arranged inclined relative to each other to form a saw-tooth pattern having peaks and troughs. 
     
     
         2 . The tray of  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the recess include leading surfaces having essentially the same height peak to trough. 
     
     
         3 . The tray of  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the recess include trailing surfaces having essentially the same height peak to trough. 
     
     
         4 . The tray of  claim 3 , wherein at least one of the plurality of recesses includes a trailing surface having a height essentially twice the height of another recess. 
     
     
         5 . The tray of  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the recess include trailing surfaces essentially parallel to each other. 
     
     
         6 . The tray of  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the recess include leading surfaces essentially parallel to each other. 
     
     
         7 . The tray of  claim 6 , wherein at least one of the plurality of the recess include trailing surfaces that is not parallel to a trailing surface of another recess. 
     
     
         8 . The tray of  claim 1 , wherein a plurality of the recess include surfaces with ridges therein. 
     
     
         9 . The tray of  claim 8 , wherein the ridges extend from a front to back of the tray. 
     
     
         10 . The tray of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the leading surfaces is essentially plumb relative to a plane of a rim of the tray. 
     
     
         11 . The tray of  claim 1 , wherein each of the leading surfaces is essentially plumb relative to a plane of a rim of the tray. 
     
     
         12 . The tray of  claim 1 , wherein at least one of the trailing surfaces is at an incline relative to a plane of a rim of the tray. 
     
     
         13 . The tray of  claim 1 , wherein each of the trailing surfaces is at an incline relative to a plane of a rim of the tray. 
     
     
         14 . The tray of  claim 13 , wherein a leading surface of at least one of the recesses is at a different include the leading surfaces of another of the recesses.
