Abstract

The present disclosure provides a packaging article (10). In an embodiment, the packaging article comprises (A) a rigid container (12) having side walls (14) and a bottom wall (16), the walls defining a compartment (20), and (B) a sheet (22) of 3-dimensional random loop material (3DRLM) in the compartment. A food item (C) may be located in the compartment, the food item contacts the sheet of 3DRLM.

1 . A packaging article comprising:
 A. a rigid container having side walls and a bottom wall, the walls defining a compartment; and   B. a sheet of 3-dimensional random loop material (3DRLM) in the compartment.   
     
     
         2 . The packaging article of  claim 1  comprising (C) a food item in the compartment; and
 the food item contacts a surface of the sheet of 3DRLM. 
 
     
     
         3 . The packaging article of  claim 2  wherein a liquid from the food item passes through the 3DRLM and onto the bottom wall. 
     
     
         4 . The packaging article of  claim 3  wherein the 3DRLM separates the food item from the liquid on the bottom wall. 
     
     
         5 . The packaging article of  claim 2  comprising (D) a cold source in the compartment. 
     
     
         6 . The packaging article of  claim 5  wherein the cold source is ice in contact with the food item; and
 melted ice passes through the sheet of 3DRLM and onto the bottom wall. 
 
     
     
         7 . The packaging article of  claim 6  wherein the sheet of 3DRLM separates the food item from the liquid on the bottom wall when all of the ice is melted. 
     
     
         8 . The packaging article of  claim 1  wherein the sheet of 3DRLM extends across two opposing walls. 
     
     
         9 . The packaging article of  claim 1  wherein the container comprises a top wall.
