A substantially paper-based composite container for an off-gassing product includes a paperboard can body having a substantially gas-impervious liner attached to an inner surface thereof, and a pair of substantially paper-based end closures attached to the opposite ends of the can body, each end closure defining a generally cylindrical sealing panel in contact with an inner surface of the can body. Heat-sealable materials are disposed on opposing surfaces of the sealing panel and can body. The sealing panels of the end closures are attached to the can body by heat seals. The heat seal for at least one of the end closures is discontinuous such that at least one vent channel extends through the heat seal so as to establish fluid communication between an interior of the composite container and the environment outside the composite container. The at least one vent channel is operable to vent excess gas pressure from the interior of the container.

A method of producing and filling a paperboard packaging container with bulk solids material comprising forming a tubular container body, closing an upper body opening of the tubular container body, filling bulk solids into the container body a bottom body opening of the tubular containing body, closing the bottom body opening, and turning container body such that an upper end is directed upwards in a vertical direction, thereby allowing improved control of the pressure within the packaging container.

The present disclosure relates to a composite paperboard container for bulk solids. The composite container comprises a rim surrounding one of the container top opening and the container bottom opening. The rim is attached with a first connecting portion of the rim to an end portion of the tubular body. The rim is a molded rim comprising pulp fiber. The rim is connected to the tubular body by at least one adhesive layer, the at least one adhesive layer comprises or consists of thermoplastic adhesive in an amount of from 0.1 mg per 10 mm of the container opening perimeter at the end portion of the tubular body. The present disclosure furthermore relates to a method of producing a composite paperboard container.

A horizontal high-speed paper cup/paper bowl forming machine is provided. Specifically, the seven-station main rotation tower forming mechanism has a stamping die station, a paper feeding connection station, a first cup bottom preheating station, a second cup bottom preheating station, a bottom crimping station, a rolling station, and a main and auxiliary tower connection station. The seven-station auxiliary rotation tower forming mechanism has the main and auxiliary tower connection station, a cup rim lubrication station, a pre-crimping station, a first final crimping station, a second final crimping station, a cup outlet station, and a reserved vacant station. The stations arranged in sequence along the circumferential direction of the seven-station main rotation tower forming mechanism is in an opposite order to the stations arranged in sequence along the circumferential direction of the seven-station auxiliary rotation tower forming mechanism.

A container includes a cup formed to include and interior region and an insulated sleeve. The insulated sleeve is coupled to an outer surface of the cup.

A cup, a blank for a cup, and a method for forming a cup. As an example, a cup includes a base having a circular bottom and a rim coupled to a perimeter of the bottom; a sidewall extending upwards from the base between an upper edge and a lower edge, the sidewall being continuously coupled to the rim at the lower edge; a plurality of closure panels integrally connected to and extending from the sidewall at the upper edge, the plurality of closure panels includes a first closure panel having a first cutout and a second closure panel having a second cutout; a straw connected to and extending from a second end of the sidewall and extending upwards from near the lower edge to beyond the upper edge; and a tab connected to and extending from a first end of the sidewall and attaching the first end of the sidewall to a second end of the sidewall.

A method for forming an overwrap container includes the steps of a) providing a base container having a first side seam on a side wall that extends along a longitudinal axis to define an internal volume, and a bottom secured to the side wall; b) providing the side wall of the base container with connecting elements on an outer periphery of the side wall; c) providing an overwrap having a second side seam over the side wall of the base container such that the overwrap is joined in spaced apart relationship by the connecting elements to the side wall of the base container; d) clamping the overwrap to the base container along the second side seam to form a first compressed area; e) clamping the overwrap to the base container in an area 180 removed from the second side seam to form a second compressed area: and f) reforming the second compressed area to define an overwrap container having a substantially uniform spacing and air gap between the base container and the overwrap except in the first compressed area.

The invention relates to a polygonal container comprising a tubular polygonal body (10) with an even number of flat faces (11) numbering more than four, which is formed by a strip of corrugated cardboard (19) rolled up at least two full turns and adhered to itself by means of lines of glue (30) transverse to the channels of the corrugated cardboard, forming a multilayer wall (13); a base body (20) defined by a base panel of cut and folded stiff double-faced corrugated cardboard (24) attached around an end portion of the tubular polygonal body (10). The method comprises forming the tubular polygonal body by means of rolling the strip of corrugated cardboard around a polygonal rotary drum (51) and subsequently attaching to a base body (20).
