Patent Images
1. A leak resistant food tray, comprising:
- a scored surface that has score lines that define a base, a plurality of panels, and a plurality of webbing flaps, the base having a perimeter and being separated from the panels by two pairs of the score lines, each of the plurality of panels being defined by further ones of the score lines that diverge in a direction outward away from the perimeter of the base in an oblique manner and that separate the plurality of webbing flaps from neighboring ones of the panels, each of the webbing flaps being divided into symmetric halves by additional ones of the score lines, the scored surface being foldable at all of the score lines in a manner that bends the plurality of panels into an upright orientation from the base and folds the webbing flaps so that one of the halves of the webbing flaps faces a neighboring one of the panels.

Abstract
A leak resistant paperboard tray formed from a blank having a scored surface that defines a base, panels and webbing flaps at the corners. When folded at the score lines of the scored surface in an appropriate manner, an leak resistant food tray forms and the webbing flaps are then adhered to neighboring walls to retain the shape in the folded condition. The adhesive is applied to exterior facing surfaces of the webbing flaps so that food contents of the container do not come into contact with the adhesive and thereby avoiding the risk of contamination.
