<p>A package for an individual service portion of a spreadable product (15), such as a butter pat or the like, has two opposed edges (14,14a) on each of the base (12) and cover (16) folded into a channel shape and the respective channel sides of the base (14,14a) and cover (18,18a) are positioned in overlapping abutting contact with two opposed sides of the pat to thereby encase the pat in an open-ended, generally rectangularly-shaped tubular member (10). Alternative structures include forming the cover (22,32) from a "deadfold" foil and tamping the ends (22b,32b) against the ends of the pat and the bottom (13) of the base channel member to form a completely enclosed package (20) without sealing. Also alternatively, the sides (44,44a;54,54a;64,64a) of the bottom channel may extend the full height of the pat and the top cover (15, 55, 65) may be a flat sheet or may be channel-shaped perpendicular to that of the base member so as to abut the ends of the pat and form a package (50,60) essentially completely enclosing the pat. Where the ends of the cover (32b,55b) are abutted against the pat and bottom of the base channel (12,52) they may be peelably glued to the base to sealingly enclose the pat. Opening means are provided to enable the sealed top to be grasped for removal.</p> |
