The present disclosure relates to a packaging material comprising a core material layer having an area radially extending from an edge of a hole in said core material layer, wherein said area has a linearly or non-linearly decreasing core material layer thickness towards the edge of the hole. The disclosure further relates to a method for production of such a packaging material, and uses thereof.

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.

The present invention refers to a container precursor, comprising a composite sheet which comprises a) an outer polymer layer, b) a colour application, c) a carrier layer, and d) a barrier layer;
wherein a wall of the container precursor comprises a first wall region and a second wall region. The invention further refers to a closed container, obtainable from the container precursor; and to a closed container having the above composite sheet, the first and the second wall region.

A container with integrated handles provides an alternative to other containers handling materials. In some embodiments, the container includes an outer surface that encloses a cavity; a first face internal to the container; a second face internal to the container; a third face internal to the container; a fourth face internal to the container; an integrated handle including a first aperture disposed in the first face internal to the container and a second aperture disposed in the second face internal to the container and proximate to the first aperture; and an internal support disposed in the cavity, wherein the internal support traverses the cavity of the container to form a handle cavity by extending from the first face internal to the container to one or more faces internal to the container, wherein the internal support includes a handle cavity flap, a first binder flap, and a second binder flap.
