The present invention relates to a novel beverage container and a mechanism for securing a cap to the container within an automated kiosk. The container comprises a compostable shell, beverage bag, and other components. The beverage bag is sealed to a closure shoulder using a mechanical sealing ring, optionally without the use of using heat, glue or ultrasonic energy. The cap is secured to the closure shoulder by the mechanism within the kiosk.

A container for holding a product such as snack food, wherein the container is transformable from a cylindrical shape to a bowl shape adapted to hold and provide easy access to the product. The container comprises rigid sidewall panels connected by frangible lines and a flexible inner sleeve adhered to the inner surface of each sidewall panel. Pulling outwardly on the sidewall panels transforms the container into a bowl shaped structure large enough to hold the product.

A coupon cup has a circular outer cup wall with a bottom cup member attached. A space is created between the bottom cup member and the bottom rim of the cup into which a plurality of stacked coupons is placed. Each coupon is removably attached to an adjacent coupon by a fold connection, such that when the coupons are folded at these connections and stacked one on top of another, they form the single stack of coupons. A tab on one of the coupons allows the user to pull the coupons from the cup. This results in an extended accordion configuration of coupons which may thus be easily separated for use.

A paper cup includes barrier paper, the barrier paper including at least a paper base material, a reinforcing layer containing cellulose nanofibers which is formed on the paper base material, and a sealant layer formed on the reinforcing layer, in which after the paper cup is caused to free-fall 5 times towards a concrete floor surface from a height of 1 m with the bottom portion being disposed downward, the paper cup has a buckling strength of 350 N or more in a case of being sandwiched between two parallel plate surfaces and compressed in a height direction of the body portion, and has a lateral pressing strength of 4 N or more in a case where the body portion is pressed by 10 mm at a height, from a bottom, of the entire height of the paper cup.
