Abstract: A package for pre-prepared food comprises a plastics tray (1) for containing a pre-prepared food product (3). The tray (1) is sealed by a transparent plastics membrane (2). A plastics sleeve (5) encloses the tray (1). The plastics sleeve (5) covers the plastics membrane (2) substantially completely in the assembled package. A method for packaging pre-prepared food comprises: providing a plastics tray (1) for containing a pre-prepared food product (3), the tray being sealed by a transparent plastics membrane (2); forming a plastics sleeve (5) about a mandrel (8); removing the plastics sleeve (5) from the mandrel (8); and sliding the plastics sleeve (5) onto the sealed plastics tray (1). The package is more recyclable and less expensive than know equivalent packaging.
