Abstract: A clamshell packaging for airtight packaging of foodstuff includes a tray folded out of a single sheet. The tray has at least two adjacent pool parts, each pool part having a bottom wall and upstanding walls arranged around the circumferential edge of the bottom wall. The adjacent pool parts are hingedly connected to each other along an upper edge of a respective upstanding wall, so the adjacent pool parts can be hinged on top of each other to form a closed box. A circumferential, horizontal flange is arranged to the tray to at least some upper edges of the upstanding walls. A plastic barrier foil is arranged in the pool parts and extends onto and substantially covers the flange. The flange includes a seal zone extending along the length of the flange. The seal zone is line symmetrical along the hinge line at the upper edge of the connected walls.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an object, such as a tray includes providing an unfolded sheet; providing a straight score line in the unfolded sheet for providing a division between a wall part and a flange part; folding the flange part of the sheet relative to the wall part along the score line to provide an angle larger than 45° between the flange part and the wall part; providing a plastic foil; heating the plastic foil; pressing the heated foil on the sheet at the side provided with the score line and covering at least part of the wall part and the flange part; the sheet having at least one U-shaped cut interrupting the score line. The free ends of the U-shaped cut are positioned on the score line. The bridging part of the U-shaped cut is positioned in the flange part.

Abstract: The invention relates to a clamshell packaging for airtight packaging of foodstuff, which packaging comprises: —a tray folded out of a single sheet of material, preferably cardboard, which tray has at least two adjacent pool parts, each pool part having a bottom wall and upstanding walls arranged around the circumferential edge of the bottom wall, wherein the at least two adjacent pool parts are hingedly connected to each other along an upper edge of a respective upstanding wall, such that the at least two adjacent pool parts can be hinged on top of each other to form a closed box, —a circumferential, horizontal flange arranged to the tray to at least some of the upper edges of the upstanding walls, and —a plastic barrier foil arranged in the pool parts and extending onto and substantially covering the circumferential, horizontal flange wherein the circumferential, horizontal flange comprises a seal zone extending along the full length of the flange, wherein the seal zone is line symmetrical along the hinge l

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing a packaging for modified atmosphere packaging, which method includes the steps of: providing an unfolded sheet for folding a box; folding the unfolded sheet to a box having at least an access opening and flange parts bordering the access opening, which flange parts compose an endless circumferential flange; providing a plastic foil; heating the plastic foil; pressing the heated plastic foil against the inner wall of the box and covering the circumferential flange, such that the plastic foil is laminated to the box. The invention further relates to a packaging.
