  • Publication number: 20220041343
    Abstract: A single piece thermoformed package or container configured to allow a user to visually determine whether the package or container has been tampered with. The container includes a base, a lid, and a hinge. The lid is pivotable relative to the base about the hinge to move the container from an opened position to the closed position. Once in the closed position, it is difficult to remove the lid without disengaging a tamper evident feature. The tamper evident feature may include a perforated section formed in the hinge and one or more pull or push sections. When the tamper evident feature is disengaged using the one or more pull or push sections, the perforation section allows the hinge to be broken such that the entire lid is removed. The container is made of polypropylene and thus can safely be microwaved and includes vents to release pressure.

  • Publication number: 20200189173
    Abstract: A flipper assembly that can be used with a package-producing mold, for instance, a mold that is used during thermoforming procedures. The flipper assembly includes a base mounted to the mold, a flipper arm pivotably connected to the base between a first position where the arm is substantially perpendicular to the height of the base and a second position where the arm is substantially parallel to the height of the base, and a spring mounted to the base and the flipper arm. During the thermoforming process, the flipper arm forms an undercut of finger into the package, which improves the stability and strength of the package. The flipper arm is moved between first and second positions based on linear extension and retraction of the spring.
