Abstract

The invention relates to a receptacle particularly for solid or pasty products, its method of manufacture and a packaging for such a product comprising a receptacle supporting it and a container removably receiving this receptacle. The invention applies to the packaging of all solid or semi-solid products and in particular to food products such as unripened cheeses or cheese specialties. This receptacle () has a bottom () and a side wall () which extends from the bottom and which incorporates rigid wall retention means () capable of keeping it in an upright position relative to the bottom, these retention means being spaced over the periphery of the wall while being connected together in twos by flexible means () for unfolding/uplifting the wall which are formed by determined zones of at least one flexible film () and which are capable of allowing the reversible transition of the wall from its upright position to a folded-down position in which it extends the bottom in a more fanned-out manner. According to the invention, these retention means are secured to these unfolding/uplifting means by overmolding, at least one rigid thermoplastic material forming these retention means and optionally this bottom being injected onto this flexible film.
