Food packaging having a shaped lid part

Abstract

A foodstuffs packaging unit includes a bottom part which has at least one row of shaped depressions for accommodating separate articles, in particular eggs, and a lid part which is arranged for swing action on the bottom part. When the lid part is closed, it bounds an interior together with the bottom part. The lid part includes a trough which is open upwardly and a cover that closes off the trough in an upward direction to produce a space into which items can be inserted. The packaging may also include retaining depressions which are connected to one another by the trough. The retaining depressions may be designed as clamping openings that interact with clamping elevations on the underside of the shaped depressions of another foodstuffs packaging unit.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
