Problems solved by technology

Historically, perishable products had to be brought to market and sold quickly before exposure to the atmosphere caused the products to lose their freshness.
Typically, plastic containers will include a fairly rigid lid and base, although they may be subject to some amount of flexure.
Such a construction is considered disadvantageous ...

Abstract

Disclosed is a product container that includes, inter alia, a cover portion, a base portion, a hinge section and a hang tab. The hinge section joins the cover portion with the base portion and allows the cover portion to articulate between an open position and a closed position. The cover portion and the base portion are adapted and configured to engage about their periphery and form a product storage compartment when the container is closed. The hang tab projects from the base portion of the product container and enables the closed clamshell container to be suspended from a hook in a retail store. The hang tab is integrally formed, at least in part, from material that is scavenged from the hinge section of the container. In certain constructions, the container is tamper-evident/resistant and the hinge section includes a frangible strip for facilitating separation of the cover portion from the base portion.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The subject invention is directed to containers and packaging, and more particularly, to containers and packaging that include an integrally formed hang tab for use in suspending the container / package for display, and still more particularly to tamper-resistant containers or packages that include an integrally molded hang tab which can be removed when the package is initially opened by the consumer.[0003]2. Background of the Related Art[0004]Disposable containers for packaging, distributing, displaying or otherwise housing consumer items, especially perishable foods, are becoming increasingly important. Historically, perishable products had to be brought to market and sold quickly before exposure to the atmosphere caused the products to lose their freshness.[0005]The advent of plastics resulted in many products being wrapped or packaged in plastic, both in the form of flexible plastic bags and solid plastic containers. ...
