Definitions
- the present invention relates to an improved package for packaging deep frozen food products, in particular fish, crostacea and molluscs, either in a pre-processed condition or in a not pre-processed condition.
- thermoshrinkable plastic material envelope or in a small tray coated by a plastic material film.
- the food product is not visible for the consumer and, accordingly, the consumer is compelled to purchase the product relying on the good name of the vendor and on a good preservation of the packaged product.
- the packaged product can indeed be seen, but, generally, in a not optimal way since the wordings on the envelope prevent a perfect vision of the product itself.
- the aim of the present invention is to overcome the above mentioned drawbacks, by providing a package for packaging deep frozen food products, in particular fish, crostacea and molluscs, even in a pre-processed or prepared condition, which allows the packaged product to be perfectly seen by the consumer.
- a main object of the present invention is to provide such a package for deep frozen food products which includes a box-like body specifically designed for protecting the packaged product from undesired pressure stresses.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide such a package for deep frozen food products, which is very reliable and competitive from a mere economic standpoint.
- an improved package for packaging deep frozen food products in particular fish, crostacea and molluscs, characterized in that said package comprises a heat molded tray cooperating with a protecting clear film, made of a plastic material , adapted to cover, in a vacuum condition, the food products, said tray being held in a cardboard printed casing provided with a window arrangement.
- the package for packaging deep frozen food products which has been generally indicated at the reference number 1, comprises a heat molded tray 2, provided for holding the food products 3 to be deep frozen.
- This tray is sealed at the top thereof by a very thin clear film 4, made of any suitable plastic material, which is adapted to perfectly adhere, by suction of the air in the tray, to the free surface of the food product.
- the product holding tray in particular, is introduced into a casing 5, made of a suitable cardboard material, having a top window 6, and thereon there are printed wordings 7 related to the features of the products, and to the procedure for preserving and preparing it.
- the box-like construction of the casing in particular, will allow two or more packages to be superimposed without subjecting the packaged product to undesired compression stresses.
- the discontinuous construction of the casing will facilitate a proper thermal exchange between the inside of the tray and the region of the freezer where the product is arranged.
