Food package

Abstract

The invention relates to a food package comprising a plurality of food products A food package includes packaging box having a body and a cover. The body has a bottom wall and first and second mutually opposed side walls, therewith defining an inner space in the body for granular food products. The inner space of the body is exposed at a top side for provision and removal of food products. The cover has a cover wall which at least covers said exposed inner space of the body. The body is provided with at least one strip extending above said inner space. The strip is interconnected to a corresponding one of the first and second side walls along an edge of the body, touches the cover wall—in at least a portion of the strip and at least substantially—and is configured to be elastically rotatable along the said edge of the body.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a food package comprising a plurality of food products comprising granules that may get separated from the food product.[0002]The food package comprises a packaging box arranged around the plurality of food products and comprising a body and a cover, which body is provided with a bottom wall and first and second mutually opposed side walls, which bottom wall is interconnected with the first and the second side walls along edges of the packaging box formed on folding lines, therewith defining an inner space in the body for the food products. The inner space of the body is exposed at a top side for provision and removal of food products. The cover at least covers said exposed inner space of the body.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Food products comprising granules that may get separated are for instance sugar cubes and cookies. These products are typically packaged in packaging boxes, and have granular elements that may get separat...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The invention is a food package design that reduces the loss of granules, such as sugar cubes, during storage and transportation. It achieves this by applying strips to the cover wall to create a better seal and without the need for glue. The package can be used for various food products, such as sugar cubes, cookies, and biscuits. The cover design allows for easy access to the food product while maintaining a secure seal. The package is made from recyclable materials and is beneficial from an environmental perspective. Overall, the invention provides a better and more efficient food package design.

Problems solved by technology

The use of plastic bags around the food products is moreover undesired, both in view of environmental concerns but also since it tends to reduce the packing density.

As a consequence, there is a risk that granules that have gotten separated from the food product get spilled from the packaging box.

This loss of sugar crystals may not only be considered as impractical and insufficiently clean by customers, but it also may attract animals during storage of the food product packages, for instance in warehouses.
