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.

The present invention relates to a conical cone sleeve (1) for frozen confections, comprising a bottom tip (2) and an upper rim (3), and said upper rim forms a circular opening suitable for receiving a lid (4); wherein the cone sleeve (1) comprises weakening lines (7a, 7b) defining a tear strip (5) with a tear tab (6) on its upper part, and the cone sleeve (1) further comprises at least two openings (8a and 8b), at least one on each side of the tear strip (5) defining the tear tab part (6) of the tear strip (5). The invention also relates to the use of such cone sleeves as a packaging container for a wafer cone filled with a frozen confection. The invention further relates to a blank for forming a sleeve suitable for packaging an ice cream cone, the blank having an upper edge which is curved at least in part, two sides edges, at least two openings located near the upper edge and two weakening lines extending from the openings, radially to the upper edge.

A method, a shaping tool and a machine for assembling a tubular cardboard body (1) and a flat sealing structure (6), forming a security membrane, surrounded by a peripheral strip, able to be folded down, that is sufficient to suitably assemble the sealing structure with the inner lateral wall of the tubular body, with a grippable tongue (7) folded down toward the central part of the sealing structure, on the face not designed for sealing, inserting the sealing structure in a shaping tool and shaping it in the form of a basin, the peripheral strip becoming orthogonal to said central part, inserting the structure in the tubular body using said shaping tool, configured for sealing said strip with the exception of an unsealed part thereof, extending over the circumference of said strip.

A composite container comprises a tubular body, the tubular body having an inside surface and an outside surface and a container opening at a top end of the tubular body. The composite container comprises a top rim surrounding the container opening, the top rim being attached to a top end portion of the tubular body at the top end of the tubular body, and a lid for opening and closing the composite container. The composite container comprises a separation arrangement, for separating the top end portion of the tubular body together with the attached top rim from a main part of the tubular body, the separation arrangement comprising a tear strip formed between a pair of inside score lines which are arranged from the inside surface of the tubular body.

The invention comprises a container comprising: a base; at least one paper-based sidewall seamed to and extending upwardly from the base, wherein the at least one sidewall comprises a score line near the base that is at least partially circumferential and is configured to be torn through to remove the base from the sidewall; and a liner ply adhered to an interior surface of the sidewall.

The present disclosure relates to a paperboard sealing disc for use in a packaging container, comprising a peripheral edge portion surrounding a tear-open part having a push-tab and a pull-away part. The tear-open part is delimited from the peripheral edge portion by a first cutting line in the first side and by a second cutting line in the second side. Said first cutting line being provided at a distance d1 from said sealing disc outer edge, and said second cutting line being provided at a distance d2 from said sealing disc outer edge. The push-tab at least partly delimited from the pull-away part by a folding line. At the push-tab d1>d2 and at the pull-away part d2>d1. Furthermore, d1 at said push-tab is substantially the same as d2 at said pull-away part and d2 at said push-tab is substantially the same as d1 at said pull-away part.

An inter-connecting structure is provided for connecting multiple parts of a container. The inter-connecting structure comprises a first part comprising a plurality of inter-connecting tabs and slits on an edge; a second part comprising a plurality of inter-connecting tabs and slits on an edge to be joined with the edge of the first part; wherein the inter-connecting tabs and slits share an overlapping portion and once the two parts are connected to each other, the engaged inter-connecting tabs are disposed in an internal region of the container.

The present disclosure provides a paperboard packaging container comprising a tubular paperboard container body, a container bottom and a container lid. The container body comprises a container body abutment edge at the container opening. The container body has an inner surface facing towards an inner compartment in the packaging container and an outer surface facing away from the inner compartment. The container lid comprises a lid collar having an abutment edge adapted for abutting against the container body abutment edge, and a lid plug-in portion. The plug-in portion has a side surface extending in the longitudinal direction and faces the inner surface of the container body, when the container lid is in a closed position. The lid collar is made of the same material as the container body and the lid collar is delimited from the container body by a slit or by weakening means.

An improved storage container is disclosed for housing items in an enclosed housing with a tamper-evident closure that is easily removed to form a storage container for the items. The storage container includes a container formed as a thin walled, hollow body closed at either end by end members and a peripheral wall defining top and bottom openings which are suitable for closure by the end members. The end member include a plurality of flaps that are integral with and extend from the hollow body and are folded over one another and then joined to each other. A perforation and tear strip encircles the peripheral wall of the hollow body.

A product package comprising: (a) an enclosure having at least one tear strip defining an intended opening; and, (b) a loop operatively coupled to the tear strip, where the loop has an available circumference between twelve and twenty-four inches.
