  • Patent number: 5407075
    Abstract: The invention relates to a pack for food, in particular cheese. The pack is obtained by folding and gluing a single blank, e.g. made of card. The blank comprises a wedge-shaped base zone which has two transverse cuts formed therein and which is connected to two rectangular lateral zones via respective first score lines. The ends of the cuts extend into the lateral zones and are interconnected within the lateral zones by respective second score lines. The zone between the two cut lines constitutes a strip that lies on top of the cheese once it has been inserted into the pack.
