CONTAINERS FEATURING IMPROVED FOOD INTEGRITY AND TAKEOUT EXPERIENCE

摘要

A container lid and base assembly includes lid and base stacking features, aswell as base chamfers that align with vents provided in the lid. When aplurality of thecontainer assemblies is stacked, the lid and base stacking features nest witheach other,while the chamfers align with corresponding vents in the stacked assemblies sothatnone of the vents is blocked by a next-higher container assembly. The stackingfeaturescan be centrally located, and the vents can be peripherally located. Aplurality of thecontainer assemblies can have differing sizes and/or shapes, while includingmutuallycompatible stacking features, thereby enabling container assemblies ofdiffering sizes tobe stacked without blocking any of the vents thereof. The vents can be holesor "C"vents. The lid and/or base can be manufacturable by thermoforming. The lid andbasecan be separate, or joined by a hinge.
