An article of manufacture comprising a planar utensil element fabricated of an elongated foldable material and having a plurality of scores indicating where the planar utensil element is to be folded in order to become a usable utensil. Folding the planar utensil element about the scores produces a handle and a bowl. An element of a food package fabricated of the same material as the planar utensil element, such as a cover, covers at least a portion of the planar utensil element. The cover or other element of the food package provides physical and hygienic protection to the planar utensil element during transportation of the planar utensil element. The planar utensil element is positioned under the cover or other element on a surface of the food package.

A hybrid package (10) is provided and comprises a wall (20) formed from a paper or paper-based material and a frame (15) formed from a plastics material. The frame (15) includes a step which is positioned against a free edge of the wall, whereby one or more exposed edges of the wall are protected by the frame.

A package (10) is provided and comprise a frame (15) formed from a plastics material and a wall (20) formed from a paper or paper-based material.

A light weight container (1) comprising a base (3), four sidewalls (2) and four corner portions, characterized in that the corner portions are so arranged as to allow flexibility between the sidewalk (2) so that an upper opening area of the container (1) can be made smaller by forcing the sidewalls (2) towards each other (compression) and larger by forcing the sidewalk (2) apart (expansion). The invention also relates to a process for the manufacturing of a container (1).

A beverage holder configured to accommodate drinking vessels of different sizes and that can be secured on a resting surface includes a hollow tubular body with an open end, a closed end opposite the open end, at least one projection along the inner surface of the hollow tubular body spaced from the closed end, and a removable insert configured to seat within the hollow tubular body against the at least one projection such that the removable insert is spaced from the closed end. The beverage holder may also include at least one suction cup extending from the exterior surface of the closed end.

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 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 body portion includes a lobe beneath the lower line of limitation defining the body. The lobe can be used to tightly fit the cap portion to the body portion after opening the container.
