Abstract: A serving unit 10 holds disposable serving trays made of thin walled thermoformed material. The serving trays are one-time-useable to hold condiments and prepared foods. The disposable trays are made in standard sizes to fit existing display units. The trays 30, 40 are made by thermoforming, injection molding or blow molding. It is possible to make thin gage parts formed from sheet thickness of 100 to 1 mils. Materials for the trays include APT, HDPS, PP, PE, OPS, and HIPS.

Abstract: A collapsible, disposable beverage container 10 holds an insulating sleeve 12 that carries a collapsible bag 14 for holding hot fluid. The container 10 is made of paperboard. Preferred materials for the collapsible bag are nylon and metalized flexible materials. The entire structure 10 is formed from a single sheet of paperboard that is suitably scored, cut, bent and folded to a hex-shaped structure. The structure 10 includes seven panels 20-26 that form a six sided hexagonal structure. The two longest panels 23-24 overlap. The container has a top 30 that is integral with one of the longest panels. The container has a bottom 50 that includes multi-lobed interfering flaps 52, 62. Those flaps are mirror images of each other and are mounted on the bottom edges of the panels. The panels have different lengths to provide a sloped upper surface. All of the panels have their lower edges in a continuous line.
