Abstract
The invention provides improved bakery boxes comprising removable plates and other tableware. Said removable tableware may comprise scored or perforated subpanels imparted in panels of a box, and alternatively, may comprise separately manufactured tableware reversibly attached to panels of a box. The invention further provides compound panels having expanded surface areas for accommodating greater quantities of removable subparts in diverse materials, shapes, and sizes. The invention emphasizes the placement of said removable tableware within superfluous panels that are not essential to the structural and functional integrity of the box, so therefore the food storage utility of the box is not necessarily destroyed when the tableware is removed, said superfluous panels comprising, for example, overlapping panels on the sides of a box or cellophane-reinforced panels in windowed boxes.
