Abstract

See full text

Provided is a multi-compartment tray having at least two compartments that are connected at the time of sale and then able to be split into separate, detached compartments by a user. The compartments are conjoined by a 3-dimensional wave-shaped perforation region. Each perforation wave includes a crest and a trough and perforation tabs are formed on at least some of the crests and troughs and form the point of interconnection between the compartments. In use, a user can apply leverage to the offset planes resulting in bending/snapping of the compartments relative to one another and causing the perforation break, thereby separating the compartments.
