Abstract: A food container is configured to temporarily store food such as from a restaurant or self-service food station, enclose the food for transportation, and then convert to a convenient bowl for eating the food directly from the food container. Once the food is received in a volume of the food container defined by a number of sidewalls, the food container is enclosed by folding foldable wings attached to the tops of the sidewalls. When it is time to consume the food item, a detachment feature located within the sidewalls is engaged to remove the foldable wings and provide convenient access to the food item. The detachment feature includes design features to allow for easy removal without compromising the structural integrity of the container during use and transport.

Abstract: A carton for packaging two layers of stacked flanged tubs. A top panel overlies the tops of the upper tubs and a layer board lies between the two layers. Reinforcing flaps connected to the layer board are adhered to the side panels of the carton. The side panels contain openings through which portions of the tub flanges protrude. The bottom edge of the lower openings engage the underside of the tub flanges when lifting the package to thereby support the lower tubs.
