  • Patent number: 5050791
    Abstract: A crowned packaging tray and, more particularly a high-strength, molded packaging tray for use in packaging meats, fish, poultry and other comestibles, and non-food commodities, which is adapted to be utilized in conjunction with a transparent overwrap film. The packaging tray is provided with a novel tray bottom wall incorporating a high-crowned center portion encompassed by a peripheral bottom rim providing a support surface for the tray. This raised high-crowned portion will provide for an increase in the strength of the tray, while holding up the packaged product for an enhanced aesthetic appearance thereof. The tray may be produced in a variety of configurations, including generally rectangular, square, circular or oval shapes.
