Abstract: A clamshell carton may be erected from a blank for holding a food product. The blank may include various fold lines and corner features such as gussets or glue tabs that facilitate formation of the blank into the clamshell carton that includes a tray and a lid. The tray may have a bottom panel for supporting a food product. The lid may include a window that allows inspection of the food product held in the carton. The carton may include flanges that project outwardly from the tray and lid. When the carton is closed the flanges may define overlapping pairs that may be sealed together to enclose and seal the food product within the carton.

Abstract: Various containers with an enlarged base for receiving a food item are provided. The containers may be formed from various sleeves for heating, browning, and crisping a food item. Blanks for forming such sleeves and containers also are provided. The blanks, sleeves, and/or containers may include a removable portion at least partially defined by a line of disruption.

Abstract: A multi-use construct includes a base and a plurality of walls defining an interior space. The base includes a line of disruption that defines a removable portion and a peripheral portion of the base. The construct is for being transitioned between a first configuration with the walls extending upwardly from the base, so that the construct is for containing a food item, and a second configuration with the removable portion underlying the food item and the peripheral portion overlying the food item.

Abstract: A carton, package, or container formed from a blank and that include a film or other moisture resistant lining applied thereto are described. The film is adhered to the inside panels of the carton, package, or container. The carton, package, or container are capable of receiving a lid and contents therein when formed. The cartons, packages, and containers include reclosable features and may be sealed against moisture and other environmental factors.

Abstract: A blank for a construct includes a main panel including a removable panel at least partially defined by a line of disruption, a plurality of side panels extending from the main panel along respective fold lines, and a microwave energy interactive element overlying at least a portion of the main panel. The blank may be used to form a construct capable of heating, browning, and/or crisping upper and lower surfaces of a food item.

Abstract: A carton for containing a product. The carton can comprise a plurality of panels that extends at least partially around an interior of the carton. The plurality of panels comprises a first end panel, a first side panel, a second end panel, and a second side panel. At least one top flap is respectively foldably connected to a respective panel of the plurality of panels. The at least one top flap at least partially forms a closed top end of the carton. A reclosable lid is positionable between an open position and a closed position. The reclosable lid comprises a central panel that is foldably connected to the at least one top flap. The reclosable lid can be downwardly folded relative to the at least one top flap in the closed position.

Abstract: A microwave heating construct includes a substantially tubular body having a pair of open ends and an interior space for receiving a food item. The body comprises a plurality of foldably joined panel segments extending between the open ends of the body, and microwave energy interactive material operative for converting at least a portion of impinging microwave energy into thermal energy. A plurality of support elements may extend downwardly from the body.

Abstract: A clamshell carton may be erected from a blank for holding a food product. The blank may include various fold lines and corner features such as gussets or glue tabs that facilitate formation of the blank into the clamshell carton that includes a tray and a lid. The tray may have a bottom panel for supporting a food product. The lid may include a window that allows inspection of the food product held in the carton. The carton may include flanges that project outwardly from the tray and lid. When the carton is closed the flanges may define overlapping pairs that may be sealed together to enclose and seal the food product within the carton.

Abstract: A carton for containing and displaying a plurality of articles. The carton comprises a plurality of panels that extend at least partially around an interior of the carton, the plurality of panels comprising a first panel, a second panel foldably connected to the first panel, a third panel foldably connected to the second panel, and a fourth panel foldably connected to at least one of the first and third panels. The carton further comprises at least one end panel foldably connected to at least two panels of the plurality of panels to at least partially close an end of the carton. The at least one end panel comprises an oblique edge and an oblique fold line extending from the oblique edge toward a corner of the at least one end panel.

Abstract: A microwave energy interactive structure includes a susceptor film comprising microwave energy interactive material on a polymer film, a support layer joined to the microwave energy interactive material, and an adjoining layer joined to the support layer. The adjoining layer comprises a paper-based material having a machine direction and a cross direction. The adjoining layer is joined to the support layer by an adhesive region extending in the cross direction across at least a portion of the adjoining layer.

Abstract: A package for a plurality of items includes a first portion and a second portion hingedly joined to one another. In a first configuration, the first portion and the second portion are in a facing relationship such that the interior space of the first portion and the interior space of the second portion are contiguous with one another. In a second configuration, the first portion and the second portion are in a side by side relationship, so the first portion is for containing a first item and the second portion is for containing a second item.

Abstract: Various blanks are provided for forming sleeves, containers, and other constructs for heating, browning, and/or crisping of a food item in a microwave oven, and for holding and/or transporting the food item after heating. The various blanks, sleeves, containers, and other constructs include a removable portion defined by one or more lines of disruption that enable the removable portion to be separated from the remainder of the blank, sleeve, container, or other construct.

Abstract: A carton includes a front panel, a back panel and a side panel. End panels are respectively foldably connected to the front and back panels for at least partially closing an end of the carton, and a web panel is foldably connected to each of the side panel and the end panels. The web panel may be folded away from the end of the carton and be connected to the outer surface of the side panel. The folding of the web panel tensions the end panels and pinches respective panels of the carton together to at least partially seal the end of the carton that is closed by the end panels.
