Food package

Abstract

The invention relates to a food package comprising a plurality of food products A food package includes packaging box having a body and a cover. The body has a bottom wall and first and second mutually opposed side walls, therewith defining an inner space in the body for granular food products. The inner space of the body is exposed at a top side for provision and removal of food products. The cover has a cover wall which at least covers said exposed inner space of the body. The body is provided with at least one strip extending above said inner space. The strip is interconnected to a corresponding one of the first and second side walls along an edge of the body, touches the cover wall—in at least a portion of the strip and at least substantially—and is configured to be elastically rotatable along the said edge of the body.

 a plurality of food products comprising granules that may get separated from the food products during storage and/or transport; and   a packaging box arranged around the plurality of food products and comprising a body that is provided with a bottom wall and first and second mutually opposed side walls, which bottom wall is interconnected with the first and the second side walls along edges of the packaging box, therewith defining an inner space in the body for the food products,   which inner space of the body is exposed at a top side for provision and removal of food products,   which packaging box further comprises a cover, said cover comprising at least a cover wall covering said exposed inner space of the body,   wherein the body is provided with at least one strip extending above said inner space, which strip is interconnected to a corresponding one of the first and second side walls along an edge of the body, wherein the strip touches the cover wall, in at least a portion of the strip and at least substantially, and wherein the at least one strip is configured to be elastically rotatable along the said edge of the body.   
     
     
         2 . The food package as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein there is no application of glue between the at least one strip and the cover wall. 
     
     
         3 . The food package as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the edge of the body along which the strip is interconnected to the side wall is embodied as a scoreline. 
     
     
         4 . The food package as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the strip of the body encloses an angle relative to a plane parallel to the bottom wall in the range of 15 to 60 degrees, which is angle is measured when the strip is not in contact with the cover wall. 
     
     
         5 . The food package as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein all side walls are provided with a strip extending above said inner space and touching the cover wall, in at least a portion of the strip and at least substantially. 
     
     
         6 . The food package as claimed in  claim 1 , particularly  claim 5 , wherein the strip is provided with a strip edge substantially parallel to said edge of the body and with side edges extending between said strip edge and said body edge, and wherein said side edges are oriented obliquely. 
     
     
         7 . The food package as claimed in  claim 6 , wherein the side edges and said body edge enclose an angle smaller than 45 degrees. 
     
     
         8 . The food package as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a first strip is provided with an access window facilitating access to the food product in the inner space after opening of the food package. 
     
     
         9 . The food package as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the body comprises paperboard. 
     
     
         10 . The food package as claimed in  claim 9 , wherein the paperboard body comprises a plurality of layers defining an asymmetrical layer stack. 
     
     
         11 . The food package as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cover wall is part of a cover that is assembled to the body. 
     
     
         12 . The food package as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the cover further comprising comprises first and second mutually opposed side walls, whereby the cover wall is interconnected with the first and the second side walls along edges of the packaging box. 
     
     
         13 . The food package as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the cover wall is integrated with the body and is interconnected with at least one of the first and second side walls thereof. 
     
     
         14 . The food package as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein an opening panel is defined at least in the cover wall by means of partially cut lines. 
     
     
         15 . The food package as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the food product is a sugar cube. 
     
     
         16 . The food package as claimed in  claim 5 , wherein the strip is provided with a strip edge substantially parallel to said edge of the body and with side edges extending between said strip edge and said body edge, and wherein said side edges are oriented obliquely. 
     
     
         17 . The food package as claimed in  claim 16 , wherein the side edges and said body edge enclose an angle smaller than 45 degrees. 
     
     
         18 . The food package as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein the cover wall is part of a cover that is assembled to the body by gluing. 
     
     
         19 . The food package as claimed in  claim 11 , wherein an opening panel is defined at least in the cover wall by partially cut lines. 
     
     
         20 . The food package as claimed in  claim 12 , wherein an opening panel is defined at least in the cover wall by partially cut lines.
