Abstract
Disclosed are containers having a stand feature comprising a tray having a major open end and a defined lid closure for the open end providing the stand feature. The stand feature allows the tray to stand vertically on a sidewall thereby allowing presentation of the package with the lid towards the viewer. The container finds particular suitability for use as a food container for shelf stable packaged food items. The stand feature allows the package to be fabricated without the conventional outer carton or outer shrink wrap film. Also disclosed are package flats for lids having a defined stand forming tab which lids are suitable for use as a closure for trays so as to provide the trays with the present side stand feature.
