The present invention relates to a bottom chime for a beverage keg. The bottom chime is configured to be push fitted onto the keg, and to subsequently be removable from the keg, for example to enable recycling of the bottom chime separately to the keg. The bottom chime comprises a plurality of inwardly extending engagement elements that are configured to form a snap fit engagement with a corresponding plurality of recesses provided in the body of the keg.

Thermoplastic packaging trays are provided that are filled with a product and wrapped in film, and methods of producing the tray with a peripheral edge region that avoids tearing of the overwrap film. In various embodiments, the tray has a beaded, a flat, or a combined beaded and flat peripheral edge.

The invention relates to a beverage can on the basis of an aluminum alloy, preferably for a carbonated drink, comprising: a body (6) having a cylindrical shape and an outer diameter D1; a concave dome-shaped bottom (1) having a depth H1 at its center, an outer diameter D3 and a rectilinear part (2) having a height H3; a convex lower ring (7) having a stand diameter D2 and a flat surface with a width L2; an outer shoulder (5) of radius R1; a shime (4) connecting the outer shoulder (5) and the lower ring (7).

The invention is characterized in that the thickness of the sheet of the dome is from 180 to 230 μm, preferably from 190 to 220 μm; and in that the outer diameter D3 of the concave dome (1) is from 36 to 44 mm, preferably from 37 to 43 mm; and in that the width of the lower ring L4 is from 3 to 4.5 mm, preferably from 3.3 to 4 mm; and in that the lower ring has concave deformations (8) which are distributed at regular intervals along the lower ring (7).

The invention relates to a plastic recipient comprising a panel with at least one radius of curvature greater than 100 mm, where the panel has reinforcing means. The reinforcing means includes a peripheral slot defining a reinforcing contour and a plurality of inner slots arranged inside the reinforcing contour. Each inner slot has two ends, where each end opens out into the peripheral slot, or at least one end opens out into another inner slot.

[object] To provide a seamless can body in which the sheet thickness of a raw sheet (blank) is reduced, pressure resistance of a can bottom is enhanced, buckling is restrained, and problems with blacking and cleaning are solved, and a manufacturing method of the seamless can body. [Solving Means] A seamless can body 1 having a tubular body section 10 and a can bottom section 20. The can bottom section 20 includes an outer circumferential bottom section 202a extending from a lower end of the tubular body section 10 such as to decrease in diameter toward the inside and an annular grounding section 202E positioned further inside than the outer circumferential bottom section 202a. In a case where t1 is the sheet thickness of the outer circumferential bottom section 202a and where t2 is the sheet thickness of the annular grounding section 202b, the relation of t2>t1 is satisfied.
