The present invention is a food package comprising, in combination, a tray, a collar, and an anchor to resist slideable displacement of the collar relative to the tray. The tray has a plurality of open top food compartments, and, in plan view, is substantially rectangular with a top planar surface defining perimeter edges about the tray and borders between top openings of the compartments. Each compartment has bottom and side surfaces, the bottom surfaces lying substantially in a bottom plane parallel to the top surface of the tray, the sides of adjacent compartments being separated by predetermined spaces. The collar surrounds the tray over the top surface, about a first perimeter edge of the top surface, covering the sides and bottom surfaces of at least a portion of two adjacent compartments and about a second perimeter edge opposite to the first perimeter edge. The anchor is pressed from the collar into a space between the sides of two adjacent compartments to resist slideable displacement of the collar relative to the tray. In a preferred embodiment of this invention the collar also has an integral stand to support the package upright on it's edge with the top surface in a substantially vertical plane. For example, in an embodiment where the collar begins as a strip which is wrapped about the tray, the strip ends may overlap at the joint with an outside end extending from the joint to form a tab. The joint may be placed close to the perimeter of the bottom plane so that the extending tab can act with the corresponding edge of the top surface to support the package upright on its edge.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] A food package comprising, in combination:a tray having a plurality of open top food compartments, the tray being, in plan view, substantially rectangular and having a top planar surface defining perimeter edges about the tray and borders between top openings of the compartments, each such compartment having bottom and side surfaces, the bottom surfaces lying substantially in a bottom plane parallel to the top surface of the tray, the sides of adjacent compartments being separated by predetermined spaces;a collar surrounding the tray over the top surface, about a first perimeter edge of the top surface, covering the sides and bottom surfaces of at least a portion of two adjacent compartments and about a second perimeter edge opposite to the first perimeter edge; andan anchor which may be pressed from the collar into a space between the sides of two adjacent compartments to resist slideable displacement of the collar relative to the tray. [9.] A carton blank to form a collar for a tray having a plurality of open top food compartments, the tray being, in plan view, substantially rectangular and having a top planar surface defining perimeter edges about the tray and borders between top openings of the compartments, each such compartment having bottom and side surfaces, the bottom surfaces lying substantially in a bottom plane parallel to the top surface of the tray, the sides of adjacent compartments being separated by predetermined spaces, the carton blank comprising:a top panel having a sufficient extent to extend over the top surface of the tray;a pair of side panels having a sufficient extent to extend over a portion of the sides of the food compartments;a bottom panel having a sufficient extent to extend across the bottom of the tray;first and second ends adapted to be fastened together at a joint; andan anchor which may be pressed from the bottom panel of the collar into a space between the sides of two adjacent compartments of the tray to resist slideable displacement of the collar relative to the tray; andwherein said first and second ends when fastened together at a joint overlap with the outside end extending from the joint to form a further tab so that when the joint is placed close to the perimeter of the bottom plane of the tray the extending tab acts with the corresponding edge of the top surface of the tray to support the tray upright on its edge. A carton blank according to claim 9 wherein the collar is made of cardboard so that the anchor is a stiff, cut-out tab. A carton blank according to claim 9 wherein said cavity and said access opening to said cavity are of a size and configuration to slideably receive a tray having opposed parallel edges along an axis parallel to the parallel edges of the tray. A carton blank according to claim 11 wherein said locking means is a tab which extends stiffly inwardly of said cavity of said collar and the receiving means is a channel extending transverse to the axis parallel to the parallel edges of the tray. A carton blank according to claim 12 wherein said tab is a generally rectangular cutout within said bottom panel and foldable about one edge thereof in a direction parallel to the axis parallel to the parallel edges of the tray so as to extend inwardly of said cavity of said collar to the receiving means presented by the tray.
