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 shell layer has an interior facing surface oriented towards the longitudinal axis of the container. The interior facing surface above the lower line of limitation includes at least one dosing indicia.

A container formed from a blank and a method for constructing the container are described. The container includes a shell and a liner disposed substantially within the shell. The shell includes a bottom wall, two opposing end walls including a first and well and a second end wall, and two opposing side walls including a first side wall and a second side wall. The shell further includes a plurality of top panels extending from a top edge of each of the first end wall, the second end wall, the first side wall, and the second side wall.

A collapsible portable reusable container having a plurality of sides, gussets and opposing tension folds, as a tension hinge, optionl brackets as needed, with each gusset having a first section and a second section. One section of the gusset is foldably connected to a panel having an opposing tension fold, preferably on an adjacent connected panel, creating a tension hinge. The above gusset and opposing tension fold placements, allow a user to transform the container from a folded, collapsed position to a freestanding, open position in one simple move with no need for a securing mechanism to keep the container in an open position.

The present invention relates to a composite container comprising a bottom film layer and a top film layer at least partially adhered to the bottom film layer. The top film layer is scored to form at least one resealable flap and at least one pull tab which is not adhered to the bottom film layer. The bottom film layer comprises at least one cavity opening. A cardboard layer is adhered on its lower surface to the upper surface of the top film layer, wherein the cardboard layer has at least one cavity opening which is substantially aligned with the scoring of the top film layer resealable flap and the cardboard layer is perforated to define a perimeter of at least one pull tab which is substantially aligned with and adhered, on its underside, to the upper surface of the top film layer pull tab.

A paper container package is provided, including: a paper layer; two plastic layers disposed on two sides of the paper layer; wherein the two plastic layers and the paper layer define at least one window which is light-penetrable in a thickness direction of the paper layer. A method for manufacturing a paper container package is provided, including steps of: preparing a paper material; partially hollowing out a part of the paper material; disposing a plastic coating on an inner side of the paper material; disposing a plastic layer on an outer side of the paper material, to form a package material; cutting the package material to form at least one paper container package; wherein the part of the paper material which is partially hollowed out, the plastic layer and the plastic coating at least partially overlap in a thickness direction of the package material.

A packaging assembly that includes a carton and an inner member. The carton includes a first flap located within an inner portion thereof. The inner member is configured to be received in the inner portion of the carton. The inner member has an extension that is configured to engage the first flap to restrict the inner member from being separated from the carton. The free end of the first flap includes a cutout.

A paperboard article (1) for making a container (8) comprises an annular frame (2), which surrounds an internal zone (20), and a plurality of wings (3) connected to the annular frame (2). Each wing (3) comprises a first portion (31) and a second portion (32), wherein the second portion (32) is connected to the annular frame (2) and is interposed between the annular frame (2) and the first portion (31). The paperboard article (1) is configured to adopt a flat configuration and an expanded configuration. In the flat configuration, the paperboard article (1) has a substantially planar shape and the wings (3) are to coplanar without overlapping each other. In the expanded configuration, the paperboard article (1) has a substantially tray-like shape, wherein the annular frame (2) forms an annular flange (71), the first portions (31) of the wings (3) form a bottom wall (72) and the second portions (32) of the wings (3) form lateral walls (73). For at least one pair of wings (3), the first portion (31) of a first wing has a seat (34) and the first portion (31) of a second wing has a projection (35) that is housed in the seat (34) of the first wing: in the expanded configuration, an edge section (37) of the projection (35) makes contact with an edge section (36) of the seat (34).
