The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a cellulose product having a flat or non-flat product shape by a pressure moulding apparatus comprising a forming mould. The forming mould has a forming surface defining said product shape, The method comprises the steps of: arranging a cellulose blank containing less than 45 weight percent water in said forming mould; heating said cellulose blank to a forming temperature in the range of 100? C. to 200? C.; and pressing said cellulose blank by means of said forming mould with a forming pressure acting on the cellulose blank across said forming surface, said forming pressure being in the range of 1 MPa to 100 MPa.

An insulated container may include a rigid container surrounding an insulation layer formed from a post-industrial, pre-consumer card waste. The insulation layer may be characterized by a lack of any wrapping material. The insulation layer may be manufactured using a variety of converting processes including, carding, airlay, and needle punch to form a non-woven material for providing consistent density throughout the insulation layer. The insulation layer may include a natural fiber lamination layer on an outer surface of the insulation layer. The insulation layer may be biodegradable in an anaerobic environment.

A method for producing a cardboard-plastic composite shell (10), in particular an MAP cardboard-plastic composite shell for food products, includes at least the method steps (66, 68, 82, 88) providing a plastic foil (12), pre-forming the plastic foil (12) to form a shell shape (14), providing a cardboard blank (16), and connecting the cardboard blank (16) to the already pre-formed plastic foil (12) in order to form the cardboard-plastic composite shell (10). The cardboard blank (16) provided is not folded or incompletely folded directly before the connection to the pre-formed plastic foil (12). When the cardboard blank (16) is connected to the pre-formed plastic foil (16), the cardboard blank (16) is folded onto the plastic foil (12) by a stamp mechanism (24).

A method for manufacturing a cellulose product, comprising the steps: dry forming a cellulose blank in a dry forming unit; arranging the cellulose blank in a forming mould; heating the cellulose blank to a forming temperature in the range of 100? C. to 200? C.; and pressing the cellulose blank in the forming mould with a forming pressure of at least 1 MPa.

A package comprising a container exhibiting: a compartment having a passage opening delimited by a free edge, a closure system engaged at the free edge and movable with respect to the compartment between a closure condition and an open condition of the container. The package comprises a wrapping housed at least partially inside the compartment; the wrapping is configurable between a first operative position wherein the wrapping is completely housed in the compartment of the container and a second operative position wherein part of the wrapping is arranged outside the inner volume of the compartment: the wrapping, in the second operative position, exhibiting at least one portion housed in the inner volume of the compartment. The container comprises a stop element placed inside the compartment, emerging, from at least one lateral wall of the compartment, inside this latter in order to define a projection. The wrapping comprises at least one abutment element configured for abutting against the stop element of the container, for preventing the wrapping from being completely extracted from the container.

A beverage carrier for holding, storing, and carrying beverages is provided. The carrier has a handle and six or more individually detachable sleeves arranged in two rows on each side of the handle. When a sleeve is detached from the carrier, with a beverage remaining within the sleeve, the sleeve serves as an insulating device for the beverage. The beverage carrier is manufactured from a template, which is a single, continuous piece of generally flat material such as cardboard or paperboard. The end sleeves of each row of sleeves is attached directly to the handle, and the middle sleeves are attached to the handle via a hinge that allows the middle sleeves to be folded into place between the end sleeves. The hinges allow the template to be made from a single piece of material without any overlapping material. Because the carrier is made from such a template, a high volume of carriers can be manufactured using automated machinery.
