Abstract:
1. A container comprising: a transparent cover component with a first peripheral surface comprising an upturned outer edge defining a plurality of sealing surfaces and a first, open-sided volume extending from the first peripheral surface; a paperboard tray component with a second peripheral surface defining a plurality of mating surfaces configured for joining in overlapping alignment with the plurality of sealing surfaces of the first peripheral surface of said transparent cover component inserted within the mating surfaces of the paperboard tray component, and a second, open-sided volume extending from the second peripheral surface, the plurality of sealing surfaces and the plurality of mating surfaces of the overlapping peripheral surfaces being oriented generally parallel to an axis defining the depth of the paperboard tray component, generally perpendicular to a bottom of the paperboard tray component; and a sealing strip oriented generally parallel to the axis defining the depth of the paperboard tray component and forming a bond for joining the plurality of sealing surfaces of the first peripheral surface of the transparent cover component along a circumferential overlap with the plurality of mating surfaces of the second peripheral surface of the paperboard tray component, the sealing strip bonding the mating and sealing surfaces along a strip of aligned, overlapping edges following the circumferential overlap of the first and second peripheral surfaces and oriented generally parallel to the axis defining the depth of the paperboard tray component, wherein the transparent cover component and the paperboard tray component are joined to form an enclosed volume of the container, absent sealing or bonding extending from the circumferential overlap in a plane generally perpendicular to the axis defining the depth of the paperboard tray component.
