<p>A sealable container, preferably a tray, has a base and a continuous side wall extending substantially perpendicular to the base. A peripheral flange is formed along the upper, in use, edge of the continuous side wall, and a layer of adhesive is located on an upper, in use, surface of the peripheral flange. This enables a lidding film to be sealed to the peripheral flange to create a sealed space between the base, continuous side wall and lidding film. Preferably a denesting recess is provided, free of adhesive, which may extend partially or completely around the inner periphery of the flange. Preferably the base and continuous side wall are clear, with the base and continuous sidewall being manufactured from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The adhesive may be a hot melt adhesive based on a polyethylene, or polyethylene copolymer material. The atmosphere within the sealed container may be modified or controlled, to include increased levels of oxygen, or carbon dioxide. The present application further relates to a process for making said sealed container.</p> |
