Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a food storage product dispensing kit that includes a plurality of re-sealable bags and a plurality of secondary bags for de-bulking food items. The kit also includes an advertising insert with information about the kit and the food items. The kit is designed to make the de-bulking process easier and more convenient for consumers. The secondary bags can be worn and used to store food items, minimizing freezer burn. The kit can be unitized and sold as a retail product, creating an environmentally friendly and cost-effective solution for food storage. The technology provides a simple and effective way to prepare bulk or large quantities of food items for consumption.

Problems solved by technology

However, for perishable items, home storage and consumption before spoiling can be challenging.
Despite storage in a refrigerator or even a freezer, spoilage from freezer burn and the like can reduce the benefits of bulk buying and even prevent consumers from utilizing such efficient methods.

Abstract

A food storage product dispensing kit for de-bulking food includes a plurality of re-sealable primary bags and a plurality of secondary pouches, wherein the secondary pouches are adapted and configured to be worn and inverted over a user's hand as well as minimize freezer burn of food items therein. An advertising insert may include branding information, de-bulking instructions, food safety information, a product sample, and a coupon. The bags, the pouches, and the advertising insert are unitized in a single package for consumer convenience.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE[0001]1. Field of the Disclosure[0002]The present disclosure relates to storing food items, and more particularly, to a kit for relatively long term freezer storage by home consumers of bulk purchased food items.[0003]2. Background of the Related Art[0004]Buying food items in large quantities typically provides cheaper options for consumers. Further, bulk packaging at the retail point of sale is also recognized as a more environmentally friendly delivery method. However, for perishable items, home storage and consumption before spoiling can be challenging. Despite storage in a refrigerator or even a freezer, spoilage from freezer burn and the like can reduce the benefits of bulk buying and even prevent consumers from utilizing such efficient methods.[0005]In an effort to overcome food storage challenges, a great deal of technology has been developed. For example, vacuum bags, double layer bags, and bags with specialized preservative inner coatings have be...
