A method of forming a container for protecting baked goods, comprising:
- a) providing a sheet of plastic material that is at least partially transparent;
- b) forming a cover portion from a portion of the sheet of plastic material, wherein the cover portion includes a planar upper surface;
- and
- c) forming a base portion from a portion of the sheet which includes a plurality of wells and a plurality of interconnected posts, each well adapted for supporting a baked good;
- and the interconnected posts are formed in the base and extend upwardly from a base bottom, each post being positioned adjacent four of the wells and including a retainer element positioned proximate an upper end of the post and adapted to positively capture baked goods in each of the four adjacent wells.
A container for protecting baked goods during shipment, comprising:
- a lid;
- and
- a base that includes a main body portion and an upper peripheral rim, the main body portion defining a plurality of wells and a plurality of interconnected posts, each well adapted for supporting a baked good;
- and
- wherein the plurality of interconnected posts extend upwardly from a base bottom, each post being positioned adjacent four of the wells and having a post height equal a height of the upper peripheral rim of the base so as to limit rotational movement of the baked goods.
