A plastic beverage container includes a body, a closure, and a dry granular consumable. The body has a closed base portion and an open top end. The closure includes a top member, a bottom member, a pull tab, and an adhesive. The adhesive is disposed between a perimeter of each of the top and bottom members of the closure to form a sealed pouch container having a pull tab with a perforation. The top and bottom members are formed from one of a metal foil and polymer film. The dry granular consumable is disposed in the sealed pouch container. The adhesive is also disposed between the perimeter of the closure and a sealing surface of the top end of the body to form a liquid-tight seal between the closure and the top end of the body.

A container is provided with a lid having a push-button trigger mechanism that operates both a drink seal for a drinking opening and a vent seal for a vent opening. The trigger translates in a straight line transverse to a longitudinal axis of the container body during the entire movement of the trigger to define a straight-line actuation stroke. The vent opening is initially opened during a first portion of the actuation stroke of the trigger, and the drink opening is initially opened during a second portion of the actuation stroke of the trigger.

A container that seals in a volume of material is provided. The container may be routinely opened, closed and material may be removed or added. A removable plate and a base define a maximum volume available for material when the container is sealed. A screen may be disposed between the plate and the base. The screen may optionally be comprised within the base, adhered to the base, or removable from the base. Features for enabling manipulation of the plate and/or screen are optionally provided.

The invention relates to an assembly for closing a tube, said assembly comprising a tube head that has a neck (10) and a cap (30), said assembly defining a guide path, a thread and a thread portion (11) allowing the cap (30) to be positioned on the neck (10) by cooperation with the guide path and the thread, said assembly comprising a first (24) and a second (25) stop element for said thread portion (11), said stop elements (24, 25) being angularly spaced apart and defining a passage (26) between the guide path and the thread, said assembly being configured to allow axial displacement of the thread portion (11) through the passage (26) with a non-return effect produced by at least one (24) of said stops.

A packaging assembly for holding contents is provided. The packaging assembly includes a self-supporting liner having a wall that encloses sides and bottom of an interior of the liner and defines an open top end of the liner, and a rim that projects outwardly from the wall proximal to the open top end. The packaging assembly also includes a lidding assembly including a cover region and a destructible seal region that seals the cover region to the liner extending over and closing the liner open top. The destructible cover region is weaker than the liner and the cover region so that detachment of the cover region from the liner causes the destructible seal region to fail. The lidding assembly includes a first lidding material having a center portion and an outer portion that surrounds the center portion.

A beverage container closure or lid that is adapted for closing an open end of a beverage container. The lid is selectively couplable to the beverage container and includes a selectively openable stopper that when closed, creates a fluid-tight seal between the beverage container and the environment. The stopper may be selectively opened by a user by the user pressing a button disposed on a side of the beverage container closure. The stopper is subsequently automatically closed when the user releases the button. Thus, a user may open and close the beverage container closure using a single hand without the need to remove the beverage container closure from the beverage container.

A container comprising a bottom and a sidewall extending upwards from the bottom and terminating at an upper free edge, said upper free edge of the sidewall forming an opening of the container, said sidewall and said bottom comprising an outer paperboard layer and a thin inner plastic foil layer, formed in a thermoforming operation, said upper free edge of the sidewall comprising a rim portion extending past the outer surface of the paperboard layer of the sidewall. The rim portion comprises a rolled up portion of an upper portion of the outer paperboard layer of the sidewall, said rolled up portion being covered by a portion of the thin inner plastic foil layer. In this way, a stiff upper rim is provided, while allowing the use of a very thin inner plastic foil layer.

Molded pulp containers with fused junctions and methods of making of same are provided. The present invention provides a pulp container, comprising a molded pulp body, wherein the body comprising a bottom and at least one side wall forming a wherein the at least one side wall comprising a upper rim, a neck, wherein the neck comprising a upper closure part and a lower rim, a fused junction, wherein a part of the upper rim of the at least one sidewall of the body and a part of the lower rim of the neck are aligned and fused together. The fused junction may be formed by ultrasonic welding.

Disclosed is a two-part seal comprising a substrate affixed to a lid by means of a temporary adhesive, characterized in that the lid comprises a casein- and/or caseinate-based film intended to be in contact with the mouth of said container.

Containers for storing food in a storage compartment may include a base portion of the container. The storage compartment is sealed with a film to get the food stored in the storage compartment fresh. The container further includes a reversible lid that is able to attach to the base portion of the container in two different configurations. In a first configuration the reversible lid attaches to the base portion without affecting the seal created by the film. In a second configuration the reversible lid attaches to the base portion when the lid is inverted and the film is removed from the base portion.
