Various packages for food products are provided herein. In one embodiment, a food package includes a rectangular substantially planar rigid bottom wall; two slanted side/side walls extending angularly upwardly from the bottom wall, and a rectangular opening opposite the bottom wall, the opening larger in area than the rectangular rigid bottom wall. A top side wall and a bottom side wall extend upwardly from the bottom wall; and a flexible film extends over the opening and seals the opening. The side walls are configured to engage and hold the food product, each side wall being angularly ramped and extending downward and inward toward the bottom wall, and having at least one well which extends downwardly from the angularly upward extending side wall.

1. A package for containing a food product, the package comprising: at least one compartment effective for containing slices of the food product;an opening to the compartment, the opening having a substantially rectangular shape;a bottom wall of the compartment which forms a horizontal base when the package is in a horizontal position and is resting on the bottom wall, the opening above and opposite the bottom wall;at least two slanted side/side walls of the compartment upstanding from the bottom wall when the package is resting on the bottom wall, the side/side walls forming at least a part of the side walls of the compartment and forming barrier walls separating the compartment and the interior of the package from outside the package;at least one slanted side/back wall of the compartment upstanding from the bottom wall when the package is resting on the bottom wall, the side/back wall forming at least a part of the side walls of the compartment and forming a barrier wall separating the compartment and the interior of the package from outside the package;one side/front wall of the compartment extending vertically from the bottom wall when the package is resting on the bottom wall, the side/front wall forming at least a part of the side walls of the compartment and forming a barrier wall separating the compartment and the interior of the package from outside the package;a lip surrounding the opening and extending in a plane generally parallel to the bottom wall; anda lid which snappingly engages an upper periphery of the compartment to close the opening,the side/front wall forming a display base where the size of the side/front wall and the lip cooperatively support the container to hold the container in a display position when the container is holding product,the two slanted side/side walls of the compartment angling upwardly and outwardly when the container is in the horizontal position, the angles being effective to push the contents of the compartment away from the side/side walls when the container is resting on the side/front wall in display position,the at least one slanted side/back wall of the container extending at an angle upwardly and outwardly when the container is in the horizontal position, the angle being effective to push the contents of the compartment away from the side/back wall and towards the opening when the container is resting on the side/front wall in display position, andthe center of the bottom wall is closer to the side/front wall than to the slanted side/back wall when each of the side/front wall and the slanted side/back wall are considered from an upper portion thereof proximate to the lip. 2. The package of claim 1 wherein each of the side/side walls form an angle of from about 55 to about 75 degrees from vertical axes which extend orthogonally from a plane formed by the bottom wall. 3. The package of claim 2 wherein the back/side wall forms an angle of from about 65 to about 75 degrees from a vertical axis which extends orthogonally from a plane formed by the bottom wall. 4. The package of claim 3 wherein the package further includes a film which covers and seals the opening. 5. The package of claim 3 wherein the package further includes at least two wells to each side of the back/side wall, each of the wells having bottom well wall which serve to support the package when the package is resting on the bottom wall, the volume in the wells being less than the compartment formed by the side/side walls, the side/back wall and the side/front wall, such that the center of gravity of the package is lowered towards the side/front wall when the package is resting on the side/front wall in display position. 6. A food package for sliced food products, the package comprising: a rectangular substantially planar rigid bottom wall upon which the package rests when in a horizontal orientation;two slanted side/side walls which angularly extend upwardly from the bottom wall, each of the side/side walls forming an angle of from about 55 to about 75 degrees from vertical axes which extend orthogonally from a plane formed by the bottom wall;a rectangular opening opposite the bottom wall, the opening being larger in area than the rectangular rigid bottom wall;a top side wall extending upwardly from the bottom wall;a bottom side wall extending upwardly from the bottom wall; anda flexible film which extends over the opening and seals the opening,the two slanted side/side walls configured to engage the food product to help hold the sliced food product, wherein each slanted side/side wall is angularly ramped and extends downward and inward toward the bottom wall, and each slanted side/side wall having at least one well which extends downwardly from a portion thereof, the wells having bottom walls configured to provide stable support for the package when the package is in its horizontal orientation. 7. The package of claim 6 wherein each of the slanted side/side walls, the top side wall and the bottom side wall have an upper section which extends substantially vertically downward from the opening about a periphery of the opening. 8. The package of claim 7 wherein the package further comprises a lid and the upper section further comprises a peripheral channel which is configured to snappingly engage the lid. 9. The package of claim 6 wherein the top side wall and the bottom side wall each have channels formed therein extending vertically and outwardly from the package, the channels adapted to provide structural stability to the package. 10. A food package for sliced food products, the package comprising: a rectangular substantially planar rigid bottom wall upon which the package rests when in a horizontal orientation;two slanted side/side walls which angularly extend upwardly from the bottom wall, each of the side/side walls forming an angle of from about 55 to about 75 degrees from vertical axes which extend orthogonally from a plane formed by the bottom wall;a rectangular opening opposite the bottom wall, the opening being larger in area than the rectangular rigid bottom wall;a top side wall extending upwardly from the bottom wall;a bottom side wall extending upwardly from the bottom wall;a flexible film which extends over the opening and seals the opening; anda lid which snapingly engages the side walls and configured to close the opening,the two slanted side/side walls configured to engage the food product to help hold the sliced food product, wherein each slanted side/side wall is angularly ramped and extends downward and inward toward the bottom wall, and each slanted side/side wall having at least one well which extends downwardly from a portion thereof, the wells having bottom walls configured to provide stable support for the package when the package is in its horizontal orientation. 11. The package of claim 10 wherein each of the slanted side/side walls, the top side wall and the bottom side wall have an upper section which extends substantially vertically downward from the opening about a periphery of the opening, a portion of the rigid lid configured to fit within the opening and nest within the opening and the upper section. 12. The package of claim 11 wherein the upper section further comprises a peripheral channel which is configured to snappingly engage the lid. 13. The package of claim 12 wherein the top side wall and the bottom side wall each have channels formed therein extending vertically and outwardly from the package, the channels adapted to provide structural stability to the package. 14. The package of claim 10 wherein the top side wall forms an angle of from about 65 to about 75 degrees from a vertical axis which extends orthogonally from a plane formed by the bottom wall.
