包ＩＰを提供することにある。Soup is concentrated and packaged to reduce shipping size and weight. The disadvantage of such packaging is that consumers have to reconstitute the concentrated soup and transfer it to a larger container for heating.
Next, it must be transferred to a bowl before being served. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a packet IP for concentrated food products, such as soups, which can serve the multiple functions of packaging, utensils and service supplies.

Made of hard, impact-resistant material. Examples of such materials are talc-filled polystyrene, plasticized paper, polyethylene, polypropylene and polycarbonate. The container body 11 can be thermoformed or injection molded. The lid 12 may be manufactured from the same material as the container 11, but may also be made of a thinner, weaker, and less heat resistant material than the container. In a preferred embodiment envisioned by the inventor, the main body 1
1 is thermoformed from pigmented polypropylene or filled polyethylene sheet and has a final wall thickness of about 20-25 mils. The lid 12 is also thermoformed from pigmented polypropylene or filled polyethylene sheet and has a final wall thickness of approximately 15 mils.

２８にぴったりと適合することが好ましい。An important aspect of the present invention is to provide a container that can store concentrated food products for extended periods of time. In order to provide this long "storage life", it is necessary to include some type of material in the container that provides a barrier to oxygen. For lightweight, disposable containers, typical such materials are ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer and polyvinylidene chloride, but these materials are expensive and therefore their use is limited to one-time use. Only use defeats the purpose as a disposable container. One advantage of the present invention is that it provides a container that can provide an extended shelf life for the packaged food product while also minimizing the use of expensive barrier materials. Thus, the first
In one example, as shown in the figure, sufficient oxygen barrier properties (e.g., about 0.25%) are provided to provide an acceptable shelf life (e.g., 6 months to 2 years) for the packaged food product.
05～0, 1ce/100in2/atm/
The concentrated food is packaged in a 29-width sachet made of a material capable of providing a good oxygen barrier. Such barrier materials are known in the art and include aluminum foil, metallized polyethylene terephthalate, and ethylene-terephthalate.
Includes resins such as vinyl alcohol copolymers, polyvinylidene chloride, amorphous nylons, and blends thereof. These barrier materials, approximately 1-2 mils thick, generally have a
For example, extruded or coextruded with materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polycarbonate, or polyethylene terephthalate. Preferably, the pouch 29 fits snugly into the cavity 28.

8 and can be a tube of the necessary width and length to provide the desired working dimensions. In a preferred embodiment, the pouch 29 is made of polypropylene/
It is formed by a horizontal thermoforming machine from a five-layer sheet of adhesive/polyethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer/adhesive/polypropylene. Another advantage of this embodiment, in addition to the minimal use of barrier materials, is that it separates the sachet material from the container during sterilization, thereby allowing the container material to remain at the higher sterilization temperatures that the sachet material must withstand (e.g. , 45 minutes at 121-132°C).

Suitable barrier materials are the same as those described above for use in the preparation of bag 29. Barrier material 30
covers the bottom wall 21 and is defined by the junction of the bottom wall 24 of the lid 12 and the edge wall 22 of the body 11 when the lid 12 is fully disposed within the body 11. I! ! ,
31 and extends above the edge wall 22. Main body 11
After filling the container with the concentrated food 33 and before closing the lid 12, it is aseptically sealed with the filling material 32.6. A barrier material as described above with an additional heat sealing layer suitably adhered to one side, such as linear low density polyethylene or alpha olefin-acid copolymer, to facilitate sealing. include. I
41"ζ material 32 is not necessarily transparent to microwave energy as it is contained in the concentrated food preparation 111f, but provides substantially the same barrier properties to oxygen as the barrier materials described above. Must.

は最高に近い。In this case, the outwardly offset portion of the lid 12 is the bottom wall 21, the edge wall 22, and the bottom wall 2.
It is clear that 4 is able to confine the concentrated food in the cavity 28 of the body 11, thereby preventing the contents from moving too freely.6 The downwardly offset portion of the lid 12 also It also allows nesting of the packages, with the body 11 of another combination package and service container nested therein to define a space 35 providing easy stacking of the containers. This nesting allows for economical transport and packaging of the containers; in the stacked state the pouches of one container are separated only by the thickness of the material in the body 11 and lid 12, and the pouches of the next container are separated only by the thickness of the material in the body 11 and lid 12. Due to the close proximity to the sachets, the density of the transport case is close to maximum.
