[ We claim:] [1.] A container assembly comprising an elongate generally rectangular upwardly opening receptacle having a bottom panel, peripheral walls, including a pair of opposed end walls, extending upward from said bottom panel to upper wall edges, and an outwardly directed flange integral with and continuously along said upper wall edges, a pair of opposed access recesses, one defined in and opening inwardly relative to each of said end walls generally centrally thereof, each of said recesses also being defined in and opening upwardly through said receptacle flange for direct downward access thereto; and an overlying seal substantially co-extensive with said receptacle and including a peripheral downwardly directed flange-engaging projection with means thereon for releasably snap-locking to said receptacle flange; and a tray having a base panel, wall means integral with said base panel and extending therefrom peripherally thereabout, and peripheral flange means integral with said tray wall means and extending laterally outward therefrom, said tray having a peripheral configuration closely conforming to and engageable within said receptacle below said receptacle flange, and support means on said peripheral walls of said receptacle receiving said tray flange means for support of said tray within said receptacle, said tray peripheral wall means including a pair of opposed end walls corresponding to said end walls of said receptacle, said tray end walls including inwardly arcing portions therein extending from said tray flange means and aligned with said receptacle end wall recesses to combine therewith in defining an access pocket for manual engagement with said tray. [14.] A tray receivable within a food container for internally dividing said container into separate compartments, said tray having a base panel, peripheral walls integral with said base panel, said base panel having a length and a transverse width, a series of corrugations extending along arcs transversely across said panel for at least a major portion of the length of said panel, said corrugations defining alternating arcing ridges and valleys, each of said valleys having a series of openings defined therein and through said panel, said ridges defining spaced arcing supports for items received in said tray. [15.] A cooling pack for use within a food container assembly, said cooling pack being of a substantially flat elongate configuration with an upper panel and a spaced lower panel, longitudinally extending side walls and transversely extending end walls surrounding and integrally joined to said upper and lower panels, transverse corrugations formed in said upper and lower panels and said side walls and extending peripherally about said pack for substantially the full length of said pack wherein a series of alternating ridges and valleys are defined completely about the pack to avoid intimate contact of said pack with the container assembly and to provide for airflow passages completely about said pack, and a single pair of spaced openings defined through said pack and said upper and lower panels thereof, said openings being centrally positioned in said pack inward of said side and end walls and being of a size to accommodate fingers of a hand for manipulation of said cooling pack. [16.] A container assembly comprising a generally rectangular upwardly opening receptacle having a bottom panel, peripheral walls, including a pair of opposed end walls, extending upward from said bottom panel to upper wall edges, and an outwardly directed flange integral with and extending along said upper wall edges, a pair of opposed access recesses, one defined in and opening inwardly relative to each of said end walls generally centrally thereof, each of said recesses also being defined in and opening upwardly through said receptacle flange for direct downward access thereto; and a tray having a base panel, wall means integral with said base panel and extending therefrom peripherally thereabout, and peripheral flange means integral with said tray wall means and extending laterally outward therefrom, said tray having a peripheral configuration closely conforming to and engageable within said receptacle below said receptacle flange, and support means on said peripheral walls of said receptacle receiving said tray flange means for support of said tray within said receptacle, said tray peripheral wall means including a pair of opposed end walls corresponding to said end walls of said receptacle, said tray end walls including outwardly directed recessed portions therein extending from said tray flange means and aligned with said receptacle end wall recesses to combine therewith in defining an access pocket for manual engagement with said tray.
