Abstract: A packaging assembly includes a plurality of individual packages. Each of the plurality of individual packages is adjoined to at least one other of the plurality of individual packages. The individual packages can be adjoined by hinged and/or detachable connections. Each of the plurality of individual packages has a base, a sidewall integral with and extending from the base, and an opening defined by an end of the sidewall distal from the base. Any conceivable product can be packaged in the packaging assembly. The packaging assembly can be configured in a nested manner and has a ratio of a packaged product volume to an occupied space volume that is at least 0.5 and less than 1.

Abstract: A mold includes a forming insert that includes an upper portion and a lower portion. The upper portion includes a sidewall segment and a heel segment extending from a bottom of the sidewall segment. The sidewall segment has a sidewall radius, and the heel segment has a heel radius that is less than the sidewall radius. The lower portion extends axially downward from the upper portion to define a base cavity. A forming base is positionable within the base cavity. The rim has a rim radius that is less than the heel radius and the step has a step radius that is less than the rim radius.
