Abstract: A male thermoformed package hinge includes two sides, each having opposed ends extending therebetween. The hinge has a triangular cross-section, the sides intersecting at outer ends thereof and thus forming the apex of the triangular cross-sections. The hinge also has opposed flanges, extending substantially horizontally away from the lower ends of the sides in opposed directions when the hinge is positioned as on a male mold on which it is thermoformed, in which molding position the apex of the triangular cross-section of the hinge points away from the mold, and an imaginary line drawn from the first flange to the second flange forms the base of the triangular cross-section.
