DETAILED DESCRIPTION Aspects of the disclosure are more fully described later herein with reference to the accompanying figures that form part of the present and which show exemplary elements by way of illustration. However, the elements can be implemented in many different ways and should not be interpreted as limited to the combinations summarized in -the present; rather, these combinations are provided in such a way that this revelation will be profound and complete and will fully convey the scope. Among other things, the elements of the disclosure can be facilitated by methods, devices and / or implemented in articles of commerce. Accordingly, the following detailed description will not be taken in a limiting sense.

The dimensions are used from beginning to end in the description for exemplary purposes only. The description is not limited to any particular dimension summarized herein. For example, the dimensions associated with the package assembly 100 can vary depending on the desired size and shape of the package assembly 100. In addition, the dimensions of any of the components of the package assembly 100 can be taken as factors by a common multiplier for maintaining the overall shape of the package assembly 100 while increasing or decreasing the respective size of the package assembly 100.

The indications are described and indicated throughout the specification and figures. This description is not limited to any kind of particular indication. The indications may include structural indications, textual indications, image indications and combinations thereof. The structural indications may include a configuration and / or packaging form. Other types of structural indications may include one or more structural portions of the container 200. Still other types of structural indications may include one or more structural portions of the sleeve 300. Still other types of structural indications may include a combination of container structures 200 and sleeve 300. The textual indications may include, letters, words, sentences, symbols, numbers, dialogue and combinations thereof. The image indications may include photographs, images, drawings, paintings, holograms, icons and combinations thereof.

The consumer's impression can facilitate the purchase of any type of product. Yet, the consumer's impression of a product can play an enhanced role in relation to the purchase of transformative consumer products. A product of the transformative consumer is a product that includes multiple states from production to final use. For example, a packaged food product can be considered a product of the transformative consumer. As other examples, refrigerated food products, prepared foods, boxed meals and the like can be transformative consumer products.

As an example associated with a food product in production, the ingredients can be obtained in a pre-packaged state. The ingredients can then be transformed to create a food product. The food product can then be transformed by packaging and packed to a point of sale. After the purchase, the food product is again transformed into a cooked food product prepared for consumption. For example, the food product may be cooked in a microwave oven, subjected to steam in a microwave oven, cooked under pressure in a microwave oven and combinations thereof. As other examples, the food product can be cooked via a stove, a grill or a conventional oven. In such a situation, the consumer's impression plays an enhanced role in relation to the product of the transformative consumer because the pre-processed ingredients used to form the product can be perceived as completely different in a pre-packaged state as opposed to a packaged state. . Also, the packaged state of the food product can be perceived quite different from the cooked state of the product. Thus, since the user's experience with the food product may not be readily discernible when the product is in a packaged state, the opportunity arises to frame or mold a perception of such experience via a nexus of the packaging arrangement that drives a predetermined message.

As summarized more fully below, the disclosure herein pertains to a packing link between one or more components of a package assembly. The nexus formed of one or more components of the package assembly is configured to collectively signal and / or act on a predetermined message from the point of sale to the final consumption of the consumer's product.
