Package and container assembly and method of manufacturing same
A package assembly including a first layer having a bottom surface and a top surface, and at least two panels coupled to the top surface of the first layer such that a first panel is disposed along a right edge of the first layer and the second panel is disposed along a left edge of the first layer, the first panel being pivotally engaged to the second panel along an axis, the at least two panels having formed therein a recess.
1. A package assembly comprising:
a rigid plastic layer having a top surface and a bottom surface;
a flexible film layer adhered to the bottom surface of the rigid plastic layer; and
at least three score lines formed on the top surface of the rigid plastic layer, the rigid plastic layer having a planar configuration separated by each of the at least three score lines,
wherein the package assembly is configured to fold along each of the at least three score lines such that the flexible film layer defines a hinge and the rigid plastic layer defines a clean edge, the rigid plastic layer defining a panel of a container between each hinge such that the flexible film layer defines an internal cavity of the container.
2. The package assembly of claim 1 , wherein the flexible film layer includes a printed graphic.
3. The package assembly of claim 1 , wherein the rigid plastic layer includes a printed graphic.
4. The package assembly of claim 1 , wherein the at least three score lines are generally V-shaped.
5. The package assembly of claim 1 , wherein the at least three score lines are KISS cuts.
6. The package assembly of claim 1 , wherein each of the at least three score lines are parallel to each other.
7. The package assembly of claim 1 , wherein the package assembly is configured to fold approximately 80 degrees to 120 degrees along each of the at least three score lines.
8. The package assembly of claim 1 , wherein the top surface of the rigid plastic layer has four score lines, the four score lines define first, second, third, and fourth panels, and a tab portion.
9. The package assembly of claim 8 , wherein the tab portion includes an adhesive flap configured to adhere the tab portion and one of the first, second, third, or fourth panels.
10. The package assembly of claim 1 , wherein the rigid plastic layer defines an external surface of the container.
11. The package assembly of claim 1 , wherein the internal cavity of the container is configured to removably receive an object therethrough.
