A card-based package for sensitive food products, comprises a container portion defining an interior space with a base and a sidewall extending to an upper peripheral edge for receiving a removable seal for hermetically sealing the container portion prior to use. The package further comprises a lid structure, that can open and close to allow selective access to the interior space after removal of the seal. The container portion and the lid structure are both formed of card-based material and at least the container portion has light, oxygen, and water vapour barrier properties sufficient for storage of the product for a period exceeding 24 months.

A card-based package for powdered infant nutrition, comprises a container portion, the container portion defining an interior space for receiving the powdered infant nutrition and having a base and a sidewall extending to an upper peripheral edge for receiving a removable seal for hermetically sealing the container portion prior to use. The package further comprises a collar portion and a lid portion. The collar portion is connected to and extends upwardly from the upper peripheral edge of the container portion and comprises a connection segment and an upper peripheral closure rim surrounding an access opening giving access to the interior space. The lid portion comprises a lid and a frame and forms a re-closable joint with the upper peripheral closure rim of the collar portion, allowing repeated and selective opening and closing of the access opening. The container portion, the collar portion and the lid portion all comprise card-based material.

A novel closure for a container is provided. The closure comprises an overcap and a built in blade ring for making a circumferential cut in the container body so the top portion of the body can be removed to expose the container contents.

The object of the invention is to produce an attractive environmentally friendly biodegradable pouring container. The body of the improved container is optimally formed in the shape of a conical frustum or cylinder. The assembly being a healthier and environmentally superior alternative to traditional plastic non-biodegradable containers. The seams and folds of the container are joined with adhesives or other means, which strengthen the vessel and prevent leakage. The adhesives may be beverage or food friendly and approved by the Food and Drug Administration as required by the container's contents. When used as a drinking-vessel the invention lends itself to a variety of choices for the lid/top designs and the methods of production are straightforward and affordable.

The tapering shape, large at the bottom and narrow on top, provides improved stability due to its lower center of gravity relative to the amount of contents in the container at any given time. Unlike traditional cylindrical beverage vessels and cups, which are narrow at the bottom and wide on top, this shape decreases the likelihood of the container being easily knocked over thereby allowing the invented container to be set on a surface with a greater angularity than containers currently in the art. As an option either container shape can be constructed with three or more protrusions or points of support around the perimeter of the base allowing for additional support or balance. This is potentially an important improvement in stability by now allowing the user to place the container on an uneven surface such as a rock, log, dashboard, console, and etcetera. Additionally, a thin coat of wax, rubber, etc. may be applied to either the base perimeter or base protrusions to add additional gripping strength to prevent the container from slipping.

The entire container may be designed to be environmentally superior by the use of biodegradable materials for all components of the assembly thereby reducing the estimated time required to biodegrade from 700 years or more for typical plastic bottles, down to a few months for the current invention

A non-liquid food container device comprises: a container for housing the non-liquid food product; and an actuator, wherein the actuator is self-actuated to move the non-liquid food product through the container. The food product can be self-actuated through the container by applying a force to the actuator. The food product can be moved towards an opening in the container for consumption of the food product by a consumer.

A container blank including a paperboard shell layer and a core layer. The container blank has a predetermined removable portion the provides for a separable cap portion after the container blank is erected. The container blank can include a lobe for tightly fitting the cap portion to the body portion of the erected container and or provide for a core rim that is located at a rim distance that is a function of position about the longitudinal axis of the container and or include at least one dosing indicia.

A container including a paperboard shell layer and a paperboard core layer. The container has a predetermined removable portion the provides for a separable cap portion. The body portion of the container extends from the shell bottom edge to a lower line of limitation. The core layer has a core rim located at a rim distance that is a function of position about the longitudinal axis of the container.

The invention relates to a method for manufacturing a covering structure for a cardboard package comprising a tubular body made up a cardboard material. The covering structure comprises a flat assembly of three materials: (1) a cellulosic material covered with a reactivatable barrier material over the face thereof oriented towards a safety membrane, making up a lid cardboard, (2) a laminating part arranged between said lid cardboard and the safety membrane, with a shape conjugated to the shape of the opening of the tubular body, made from paper, or paper whereof the face oriented towards said lid cardboard is coated with a material having barrier and sealing properties, and (3) a safety membrane, made up of a paper coated with at least one reactivatable barrier material on the surface thereof not oriented towards the laminating part.

A sleeve-shaped outer part is formed from a blank cut that is wound to a sleeve and end sections are connected to one another in an overlap region. A predetermined separating region includes an actuator with a gripping section for the separation of separating sections located on both sides. The separating section, as seen in circumferential direction, is arranged so as to be laterally spaced apart by an offset with respect to the separating sections aligned to taper towards one another and an imaginary straight connecting line between them. A separate predetermined separating section is formed in the sleeve of the outer part between each gripping section end and the respective end of the separating sections. A combination packaging container includes a cup-shaped inner container having such an outer part and a method separates the predetermined separating region and the separation of the outer part from the inner container.
