The invention comprises a container comprising: a base; at least one paper-based sidewall seamed to and extending upwardly from the base, wherein the at least one sidewall comprises a score line near the base that is at least partially circumferential and is configured to be torn through to remove the base from the sidewall; and a liner ply adhered to an interior surface of the sidewall.

Storage containers, products, and methods of packing a smoking product are described. An example storage container has a main body that has a first end, a second end, a lengthwise axis, a width, and defines a chamber and an indicium. The lengthwise axis has a midpoint. Each of the first end and second end is moveable from a sealed configuration to an unsealed configuration. The width of the main body tapers from the second end toward the first end. The indicium is defined at a location between the midpoint of the lengthwise axis and the first end and extends along a portion of the width of the main body. The main body has a first width at the location between the midpoint of the lengthwise axis and the first end and a second width at the second end. The first width is less than the second width.

A container includes a container body including a tubular sidewall. The container body also includes a first section including first thread formed in the tubular sidewall, a second section including second thread formed in the tubular sidewall, and a separation line formed in the sidewall defining the first section and the second section of the container body. The container body is configured to separate along the separation line. With the first section and the second section separated from one another, the first section is receivable by the second section and the first threads mate with the second threads. A length of the container body is adjustable by rotation of the first section relative to the second section.

A biodegradable container for use with solid products such as deodorant or antiperspirant is disclosed. The container includes a body having a sidewall, a bottom end, a top end, and an opening at the top end. The deodorant is placed within a chamber formed by the sidewall. The sidewall includes a set of rings of circumferential perforations, the rings being located at intervals between the top end and the bottom end. A wax base seals the bottom end of the body, and a cap closes the top end of the body. The deodorant is exposed by shortening the height of the body by tearing off the top of the body at a ring of circumferential perforations. The container body, the wax base, and the cap are made of biodegradable or recycled materials.

A separable container and related method for delivering predetermined portions of product contained within a container is provided. The container has a sidewall having a plurality of frangible sections disposed at predetermined distances along the height of the sidewall. A plurality of flexible dividers are interspersed with the product in the container, each of the flexible dividers being substantially aligned with a respective frangible section of the sidewall. Sidewall segments are separable from the container to expose a predetermined portion of the product contained therein, and the flexible dividers define a boundary between adjacent predetermined portions of product to facilitate separation of the exposed predetermined product portions from a remainder of product seated within the container sidewall.

The invention comprises a container comprising: a base; at least one paper-based sidewall seamed to and extending upwardly from the base, wherein the at least one sidewall comprises a score line near the base that is at least partially circumferential and is configured to be torn through to remove the base from the sidewall; and a liner ply adhered to an interior surface of the sidewall.

A method, a shaping tool and a machine for assembling a tubular cardboard body (1) and a flat sealing structure (6), forming a security membrane, surrounded by a peripheral strip, able to be folded down, that is sufficient to suitably assemble the sealing structure with the inner lateral wall of the tubular body, with a grippable tongue (7) folded down toward the central part of the sealing structure, on the face not designed for sealing, inserting the sealing structure in a shaping tool and shaping it in the form of a basin, the peripheral strip becoming orthogonal to said central part, inserting the structure in the tubular body using said shaping tool, configured for sealing said strip with the exception of an unsealed part thereof, extending over the circumference of said strip.

A composite container comprises a tubular body, the tubular body having an inside surface and an outside surface and a container opening at a top end of the tubular body. The composite container comprises a top rim surrounding the container opening, the top rim being attached to a top end portion of the tubular body at the top end of the tubular body, and a lid for opening and closing the composite container. The composite container comprises a separation arrangement, for separating the top end portion of the tubular body together with the attached top rim from a main part of the tubular body, the separation arrangement comprising a tear strip formed between a pair of inside score lines which are arranged from the inside surface of the tubular body.

The invention comprises a container comprising: a base; at least one paper-based sidewall seamed to and extending upwardly from the base, wherein the at least one sidewall comprises a score line near the base that is at least partially circumferential and is configured to be torn through to remove the base from the sidewall; and a liner ply adhered to an interior surface of the sidewall.
