Package for products such as food products

Abstract

The packaging comprises two generally hollow half-shells connected to each other in face-to-face relationship along their associated mouth edges. At least one, and preferably both of the aforesaid half-shells are closed by associated sealing sheets the connection of which on the facing surfaces leads to the connection of the two half-shells. Both of the half-shells as well as the sealing sheet or sheets are provided with projections for use in opening the packaging, formed in correspondence with the mouth edges of the half-shells so as to be aligned with and superimposed over each other in the finished packaging. The connection of the sealing sheet or sheets to the associated half-shell also includes the aforesaid tongue parts which are not, however, affected by the connection of the two half-shells to each other. Consequently, the half-shells can be separated from each other without the risk of unwanted separation of the sealing sheet or sheets from the half-shells, which sheets are intended to be removed subsequently in order to access the contents of the half-shells. The connection between the various parts is preferably achieved by means of ultrasonic sealing.
