Problems solved by technology

If the lid film is broken by consumers, it cannot be used again as a useful seal to any goods remaining in the package.
If the sealing lid film of the resealable package is not replaced properly to fully cover the product, the packaged goods may be damaged.

Abstract

A resealable package is disclosed comprising a cover component, a tray component complemented in structure and coupled to the cover component, and sealing sheet disposed between the cover and tray components. The tray component includes a compartment to receive packaged goods and a flange framing the tray component. The sealing sheet includes a first portion being resealably attached to the flange of the tray component and a second portion being affixed to the cover component.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This non-provisional application relies on the filing date of provisional U.S. Application Ser. Nos. 61 / 175,533 filed on May 5, 2009 and 61 / 226,441 filed on Jul. 17, 2009, having been filed within twelve (12) months thereof, which are incorporated herein by reference, and priority thereto is claimed under 35 USC §1.19(e).BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0002]Packaging container typically includes a packaging tray to receive the packaged product and a lid film sealed to the packaging tray. To gain access to the packaged goods, the sealable lid film is torn or ripped. If the lid film is broken by consumers, it cannot be used again as a useful seal to any goods remaining in the package. The packaged product is commonly not immediately consumed after opening, such as when only a portion of the goods would be used at a time. Thus, it is beneficial for the packaging container to be resealable after opening.[0003]U.S. Patent Application No. 2007 / 002...
