MANUALLY OPENABLE FLEXIBLE FILM PACKAGE

摘要

The present invention is directed to packages having a thermoformed product receiving cavity for containing the product formed from a first flexible heat shrinkable film and a lidding film covering the thermoformed product receiving cavity formed from a second flexible non-heat shrinkable film. The present invention also includes an opening tab on each of the two flexible films which are aligned with each other such that each of the tabs has a sufficient surface area facing the other tab but not adhered to it to render each tab readily manually graspable. The opening tab of the first flexible heat shrinkable film includes a distal portion which is curled to improve its graspability.
