Abstract

See full text

A food packaging material suitable for a variety of food service applications, including fast food restaurants is provided. The packaging is preferably formed from a flexible laminate sheet that includes at least one moisture impervious layer and has been formed into a receptacle having a shape suitable for enclosing and sealing fast food sandwiches and the like. Attached to the sheet is a length of rip cord having at least one free end that can be grasped and pulled by the consumer to tear the laminate sheet, thereby opening the sealed food-containing receptacle. The rip cord can be attached so that it causes one portion of the receptacle to be partially or completely separated from a remaining receptacle portion. The separated portion of the receptacle can be folded out of the way or discarded, and the remaining receptacle portion used to enclose the food product to form a convenient pouch for protecting the consumer's hands while holding the food product.
