Food product tray comprising, in combination:

• a bottom of an isosceles trapezoid shape having a first, major end edge, a second, minor end edge, a first side edge, and a second side edge;
• a generally rectangular shaped sidewall integrally formed and upstanding from the bottom and defining a rectangular opening having a longitudinal length and a lateral width, with the first, major end edge having a length, with the second, minor end edge having a length substantially less than the lateral width and than the length of the first, major end edge, with the sidewall including a first end, a second end, a first side, and a second side, with the first end having a lower edge coextensive and integrally formed with the first, major end edge, with the second end being of a trapezoid shape and having a lower edge coextensive and integrally formed with the second end edge, with the first side having a lower edge coextensive and integrally formed with the first side edge, with the second side having a lower edge coextensive and integrally formed with the second side edge, with the first and second ends and first and second sides each having an upper edge, with the upper edges defining the rectangular opening;
• and a product card formed of flat stock including a bottom portion of a size and shape corresponding to the bottom and having a first end edge, a second end edges a first side edge, and a second side edge, with the bottom being generally planar, with the product card further including an end portion integrally connected to the first end edge of the bottom portion about a first fold line and of a size and shape for abutting with the first end, with the product card further including a side portion integrally connected to the first side edge of the bottom portion about a second fold line and of a size and shape for abutting with the first side, with the first fold line abutting with the first end, the second fold line abutting with the first side, the second end edge of the bottom portion abutting with the second end, and the second side edge of the bottom portion abutting with the second side, with the second end edge of the bottom portion being free of interconnection, with the product card including an outer surface including printing and an inner surface adapted for food product contact with the bottom and sidewall being formed of transparent material for viewing the outer surface of the product card through the bottom, the first end, and the first side and for viewing the product through the second side.

Food product tray comprising, in combination:

• a bottom of an isosceles trapezoid shape having a first, major end edge, a second, minor end edge, a first side edge, and a second side edge, and a generally rectangular shaped sidewall integrally formed and upstanding from the bottom and defining a rectangular opening having a longitudinal length and a lateral width, with the first, major end edge having a length, with the second, minor end edge having a length substantially less than the lateral width and than the length of the first, major end edge, with the sidewall including a first end, a second end, a first side, and a second side, with the first end having a lower edge coextensive and integrally formed with the first, major end edge, with the second end being of a trapezoid shape and having a lower edge coextensive and integrally formed with the second end edge, with the first side having a lower edge coextensive and integrally formed with the first side edge, with the second side having a lower edge coextensive and integrally formed with the second side edge, with the first and second ends and first and second sides each having an upper edge, with the upper edges defining the rectangular opening;
• wherein the length of the first, major end edge is slightly less than the lateral width, with the first end being of an isosceles trapezoid shape;
• wherein the first and second side edges have a length slightly less than the longitudinal length;
• wherein the sides each include a first, generally planar side portion including the upper edge and a second, generally planar portion including the lower edge, with the first portions being generally parallel, with the second portions extending at an angle inwardly from the first portions to the lower edge;
• wherein the sidewall further includes a corner panel of a generally triangular shape and including a first periphery edge, a second periphery edge, and a third, upper edge, with the first and second periphery edges of the corner panel interconnecting at an interconnection, with the second end edge and the second side edge of the bottom interconnecting at an interconnection located at the interconnection of the first and second periphery edges of the corner panel, with the second end including a back edge coextensive and integrally formed with the first periphery edge, with the second side including a first vertical edge coextensive and integrally formed with the second periphery edge.
