Abstract: A decorative packing platter for foods has a planar member such as a cardboard plate having a central area for receiving the foods and a periphery. Receptacle tabs are formed, for example by die cutting, each tab having a proximal end attached to the platter and a distal end, the tab and the platter together defining a receptacle opening into which a decorative border strip is placed. The border strip becomes captive in the receptacle opening, defining a decorative edging or border. The tabs can be oriented outwardly or inwardly and in several shapes. A plastic sheet or other protective member can be placed between the food product and the platter and around the packing platter generally. The platter is especially useful for packing cookies.
