Abstract

A container ensemble (10) for food packaging comprising a substantially planar lid member (11) formed of a polymeric material which has a plurality of substantially planar lids which are integrally formed and separably joined to each other, each of the lids including a sealing channel (36) around its perimeter and a skirt (40) extending outwardly therefrom. The lid member is provided with tearable portions (42) to facilitate separation. The other component of the ensemble is a cup member (24) formed of a polymeric material defining a plurality of cups which are integrally formed and also separably joined to each other, the cups including a bottom, a sidewall, and a brim (48) about an upper opening of each cup. Each cup has a skirt (52) extending outwardly from its brim provided with tearable portions (54, 56) to facilitate separation. The sealing channels (36) of the lids of the lid member are adapted to mate with the brims (48) of the cups to provide a plurality of separably joined sealed containers. The lids and cups or bases may be thermoformed from different compositions or sheet of different thicknesses and optionally include slip agents to avoid nesting lock.
