US Patent 10294017 Gift package for sharable apple box

The present invention is directed to packaging for fresh cut and dipped or enrobed fruit. The package comprises an outer sleeve and an encapsulating set-up carton board box; the inner compartment comprises internal inserts that secure a molded top and bottom piece that are specifically designed to hold cut pieces of fruit in a ball or “apple” formation (or that hold other fruit parts in different formations). The package was designed to protect, present, and display the fresh cut fruit product “plate-like,” “bowl-like,” or easily sharable form to allow it to be eaten direct from the package while maintaining a premium look and feel.
