Easy opening lid for ovenable carton

摘要

A paperboard lid for a tray type ovenable carton is provided with weakened score lines only in its lower surface to form an easy opening means. The lid includes a first continuous score line extending around the periphery of the lid and a second weakened score line of abbreviated length at one corner of the lid spaced from, but adjacent to, the first continuous score line. The lid preferably includes a right angle corner where the second weakened score line is located to provide a lift tab for venting the carton and for removing the lid to open the carton.
