A 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 to establish fluid communication between an interior of the container and the environment outside the container. The at least one vent channel is operable to vent excess gas pressure from the interior of the container.

A lid that closes a mouth of a container is made of a material principally including a paper material. The lid includes a side wall that is fitted into the mouth of the container, and a top lid that is surrounded by the side wall. The top lid includes an inlet/outlet formation part that forms an inlet/outlet for an article stored in the container, and a temporary fixing part that temporarily fixes the inlet/outlet formation part to the top lid. This can achieve a lid that has satisfactory thermal insulation, can reduce leakage, is user-friendly, can reduce a manufacturing cost, and is conscious of environmental issues.

A cartridge for a fluid distributer, including a cartridge housing, the bottom wall being arranged at an angle to the front wall less than 90 degrees; a fluid-containing package including a bag containing a fluid product in an interior of the bag. A fluid distributor including: a distributor housing including a door covering a portion of a front side of the housing, the front wall or the door including a window; a receiving surface extending rearward and upward from the front wall, the housing forming a cartridge receiving recess, a front surface of the cartridge being visible through the window when installed therein, the front wall and the receiving surface being configured to match a form of the cartridge; an operating member operatively connected to a pressure member configured to apply pressure to the dispensing tube upon rotation of the operating member when the cartridge is installed in the distributor.

Containers are provided herein of various shapes and sizes including, in some embodiments, containers with side access ports of custom configurations and shapes. The port may be shaped like a hammer or other shapes, and may, in some embodiments have a removable cover placed thereover. In further embodiments, multi-compartment containers are disclosed that may be provided with multiple compartments.

A composite container (300) comprising a tubular body (301), the tubular body (301) having an inside surface (306) and an outside surface (307) and a container opening (337) at a top end (338) of the tubular body (301), the tubular body (301) being made from a laminate sheet material (8) comprising a carton layer (10, 310) and an inside polymeric layer (11, 311), the inside polymeric layer (311) being arranged at an inside surface (306) of the carton layer (10, 310), the composite container (300) comprising a top rim (339) surrounding the container opening (337), the top rim (339) being attached to a top end portion (340) of the tubular body (301) at the top end (338) of the tubular body (301), and a lid (342) for opening and closing the composite container (300). The composite container (300) comprises a separation arrangement (312), for separating the top end portion (340) of the tubular body (301) together with the attached top rim (339) from a main part (351) of the tubular body (301), the separation arrangement (312) comprising a tear strip (313) comprising a portion of the inside polymeric layer (311), the tear strip (313) being formed between a pair of inside score lines (314, 315) which are arranged in the laminate sheet material (8) from the inside surface (306) of the tubular body (301) through only a part of a thickness (t) of the laminate sheet material (8), the inside score lines (314, 315) and the tear strip (313) extending in a circumferential direction of the tubular body (301), adjacent the top rim (339).

A composite container having a paperboard hollow body with top and bottom open ends. The body is formed by a sidewall with inner and outer surfaces. The composite container includes a body liner extending peripherally about the inner surface of the body and a base connectable to the bottom open end of the hollow body. The base includes a sidewall sized and shaped to fit snugly within the bottom open end of the body. The sidewall is permanently coupled to a bottom portion of the liner. The composite container also includes a collar connectable to the top open end of the hollow body. The collar has a peripheral portion that abuts the top open end and an inner circumferential flange sized and shaped to fit snugly within the top open end of the body. The inner circumferential flange is permanently coupled to a top portion of the liner. The peripheral portion has regions of weakened strength so that the section of the peripheral portion that abuts the top open end can be removed, thereby allowing a user to rapidly remove the coupled collar, liner and base from the hollow 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.

The invention relates to an easy-to-tear cornet package (A) used for packaging the cone-shaped cornet-type ice creams. The invention is characterized in that the cornet package (A) is easily separated from the cornet ice cream by correct and wide-area tearing of the upper tear line (5) and lower tear line (6), both of which have the concave form, after pulling the holding protrusion (4) situated between the upper curve (2) and lower curve (3) which are inwardly formed on the outer edge line (1) forming the opening portion.

A baking container having one or more rupture lines for ease of removal and separation from a baked foodstuff is described herein. The baking container has a sidewall and a planar bottom face. One or more rupture lines may run down a height of the sidewall and across a portion or all of the planar bottom face. Rupture lines having even spacing may form a strip, and the strip may have a pull tab to easily tear through the sidewall. The strip may be reinforced with a string or ribbon. The rupture lines may be formed by perforating or weakening areas of the baking container.
