BACON PACKAGE AND FOAM STIFFNER FOR USE THEREIN

摘要

A bacon package has a stiffener sheet formed of plastic having an inner layer of foam polystyrene and solid films of polystyrene on opposite sides of the foam layer and coextruded therewith to form a web. The web of coextruded plastic is fed through an embossing station which forms an embossment defining the outer periphery of the stiffener sheet and, if desired, a plurality of annular embossments within the periphery. The embossed extrudate is then cut with heated knives around each embossment to seal the edges defined by the embossments. Apparatus other than heated knives may be used for sealing the edges.
