A container can comprise a sidewall extending at least partially around an interior of the container, and the sidewall can have at least a first end margin and a second end margin. The sidewall can comprise at least a sidewall substrate layer, a sidewall base coat extending along the interior of the container, and a secondary layer extending in register along at least the first end margin of the sidewall. The container further can comprise a sidewall seam comprising the first end margin and the second end margin in an at least partially overlapping relationship. The secondary layer and the sidewall base coat extending along the first end margin can cooperate to form a heat seal along the sidewall seam.

The present application discloses a container, having a housing with a housing bottom wall and a housing sidewall, and a liner having a liner bottom wall and a liner sidewall. The liner is detachably connected to the housing sidewall, so that the liner is received in the housing chamber. At least a portion between the housing sidewall and the liner sidewall has a gap therebetween. This application discloses a double-layer container having a liner and a housing detachable with each other, so that the housing can use a combination of different shapes of the liner. At the same time, the liner of the container in the present application is made of a flexible material to facilitate cleaning of the liner. On the other hand, the double-layer container of the present application can directly use the liner as a seal, which is convenient for cleaning.

An aqueous coating composition is provided that is useful in coating a variety of substrates, including interior or exterior portions of food or beverage cans. The coating composition includes a resin system that includes a multi-stage latex. In some embodiments, the multi-stage latex is formed using a process that includes emulsion polymerizing two or more stages in the presence of an aqueous dispersion including a water-dispersible polymer. In certain preferred embodiments, the water-dispersible polymer is a polyether polymer.

A coated paperboard container includes a precursor paperboard substrate that includes a paperboard substrate and a barrier coating on the paperboard substrate. The coated paperboard container also includes an aqueous barrier coating on at least a portion of the barrier coating after the precursor paperboard container is formed with the barrier coating.
