Abstract
The invention relates to a dishware unit for packaging, transporting, and/or serving meals and to a method for sealing at least partially prepared meals, comprising a body which is covered with a film. An adhesive is introduced between the film and the body in an adhesive region in order to seal the dishware unit. The film and the dishware unit have such a degree of surface tension that the adhesive at least largely adheres to the film when the film is removed, wherein the surface tension in the adhesive region in the film is greater than the surface tension in the adhesive region in the body.
Claims24
A tray unit, particularly a dish, for the packaging, transport, and/or consumption of foods, with a film covering a body, wherein an adhesive for sealing the tray unit is present between the film and the body in an adhesive region, characterized in that the film and the tray unit have a surface tension such that the adhesive adheres at least predominantly on the film upon removing the film, wherein the surface tension in the adhesive region (8) in the film (15) is greater than the surface tension in the adhesive region (8) in the body (2).
(canceled)
A method for sealing at least partially prepared foods, in which the foods are positioned in a tray unit and covered with a film, characterized in that an adhesive (21) is applied in an adhesive region of the tray unit and a film is adhered thereto and in that a surface tension of the film and/or of the tray unit is influenced such that the adhesive remains adhere at least predominantly on the film when tearing the film off, wherein the surface tension in the adhesive region in the film is greater than the surface tension in the adhesive region in the body.
