Abstract

A container formed of two identical trays. Each tray carries two flanges, the flanges extending from opposite side walls of a tray. One surface of each flange is provided with a layer or coating of a cohesive material. Such a material adheres only to other cohesive surfaces. Storage of the coated blanks, and of the erected trays, is hence facilitated. The container is particularly useful for the packaging of fast food items.
