Problems solved by technology

First, most snack chip packages, i.e. bags, have low space utilization and packing density
Second, since the snack chips and dip are in separate packages, the space utilization and volume density of snack chips and dip as a food combination is lower
Third, once purchased, the user must carry, secure and store two distinct items when shipping the snack chips and dips to distant end consumers
Also, this tray has a large external volume compared to the net weight of the snack chips, so the kit has a low space utilization

example 1

[0100] In a particular embodiment, canister 20 is about 11.5 fluid ounces (0.340 liters), has a height H of about 3 7 / 16 inches (87.3 mm), and a diameter D of about 3 inches (76.2 mm).

[0101] In a preferred embodiment, the kit 10 includes 106 grams of product, namely 50 grams of snack chips 30 in a canister 20 detachably connected to a dip box 40 containing 56 grams of dip 50 . Kit 10 in this example has 0.25g / cm 3 space utilization. This optimization can not only make the kit 10 stable when shelved, but also have high space utilization and acceptable shelf appearance.

example 2

[0103] In a specific embodiment, can 20 is about 11.5 fluid ounces (0.58 liters), has a height H of about 5 19 / 32 inches (142 mm), and a diameter D of about 3 inches (76.2 mm).

[0104] In another embodiment, the kit 10 includes 212 grams of product, ie, 100 grams of snack chips 30 in a canister 20 releasably connected to a dip box 40 containing 112 grams of dip 50 . Kit 10 in this example has 0.27 g / cm 3 space utilization. This optimization can not only make the kit 10 stable when shelved, but also have high space utilization and acceptable shelf appearance.

[0105] Figure 11 Another embodiment of kit 10 is shown. In this embodiment, kit 10 is triangular in shape. It includes a can 20 , a plurality of triangular snack pieces 30 contained in the can 20 , a triangular box 40 , a dip 50 contained in the box 40 and a wrapping tape 60 for detachably connecting the box 40 and the container 20 .

Abstract

The present invention provides a means for maximizing the presentation of a snack food product in the form of pieces or chips and a dip-condiment therefor, while optimizing the use of scarce resources such as shelf space, transportation space and packaging materials. The kit comprises packaging a plurality of snack pieces (30) in a container (20) that are conducive to dipping with a dip-condiment (50) and a tub (40) that contains the dip-condiment attached to the container. The kit of the present invention has a space efficiency greater than about 0.1 g / cm<3>. More particularly, the plurality of snack pieces are placed in a nested arrangement within the container.

Description

field of invention [0001] The present invention relates to a package or kit containing a plurality of snack chips and dips, wherein the kit has improved space utilization and snack chip size. More particularly, the present invention relates to a kit containing a plurality of snack chips and dips, wherein the kit has improved shelf space utilization, snack chip size, portability and nested arrangement of the snack chips. Background of the invention [0002] Wholesale and retail storage shelf space is at a premium and is an integral part of the direct cost of selling food items. Therefore, efficient use of shelf space is an important factor in the economics of the process of selling food. One way to maximize storage shelf space lies in the design of food packaging. By designing the packaging of a product to make more efficient use of shelf space, the product can be more economical or profitable. Additionally, space-efficient packaging makes better use of valuable sales spac...
