The present invention relates to a package for containing a product comprising a support () which has: a base () configured for receiving one or more products, a perimetral edge () which surrounds the base (), a removable portion () extending as a prolongation of the perimetral edge () away from the base (). The package further comprises: a closing film () engaged with a portion of the perimetral edge () and with the removable portion () for defining a housing compartment () for the product, a gripping portion () emerging from the perimetral edge (); the removable portion () and at least a part of the closing film () are configured for being separated from the support () during an opening step of the package. The package is configured for defining a closing condition in which: the closing film in cooperation with the support () prevents access to the housing compartment (), and the removable portion () is aligned with at least a portion () of the perimetral edge () from which it extends as a prolongation. The removable portion () has a cavity () the concavity whereof, at least in the closed condition of the package, faces the perimetral edge (); the gripping portion () is disposed, at least in the closed condition of the package, within said cavity (). The present invention also relates to a process and an apparatus for making said package.
