I was walking past a high school and I saw a container of cookies sitting on the handrail to one of its portables. The cookies: (I use an iPad so couldn't scale it down unfortunately :()

enter image description here

And I was wondering what do you call these containers, these transparent plastic containers? Is there a name for them?

    It's a "tray". Or, with the top on, possibly just a "box".

Um, it looks like a "tray" to me. Perhaps the food packaging industry has a jargon name for it, but if so, I am unaware of it.

I would call it a "sleeve" of cookies.

    I would call it a sleeve of cookies if it was wrapped in plastic (much like these), but I think the container itself would still be a tray.
