The present disclosure provides a paperboard packaging container comprising a tubular paperboard container body, a container bottom and a container lid. The container body comprises a container body abutment edge at the container opening. The container body has an inner surface facing towards an inner compartment in the packaging container and an outer surface facing away from the inner compartment. The container lid comprises a lid collar having an abutment edge adapted for abutting against the container body abutment edge, and a lid plug-in portion. The plug-in portion has a side surface extending in the longitudinal direction and faces the inner surface of the container body, when the container lid is in a closed position. The lid collar is made of the same material as the container body and the lid collar is delimited from the container body by a slit or by weakening means.

The container includes a base and a lid pivotally coupled to the base. The base includes a bottom wall and a peripheral wall, where a plurality of receptacles are defined in the peripheral wall. The peripheral wall is configured to be moved from a relaxed position to a flexed position by applying a first force to a first portion of the peripheral wall in a first direction and a second force to a second portion of the peripheral wall in a second direction. The lid includes a top wall and a plurality of projections. In the relaxed position, the lid is configured to engage the receptacles so as to retain the lid in a closed configuration. The container is configured to be moved from the closed configuration to an open configuration by moving the lid in a third direction while the peripheral wall is in the flexed position.

The present disclosure provides a method of forming a paperboard packaging container comprising a tubular paperboard container body, a container bottom and a container lid. The container body comprises a container body abutment edge at the container opening. The container body has an inner surface facing towards an inner compartment in the packaging container and an outer surface facing away from the inner compartment. The container lid comprises a lid collar having an abutment edge adapted for abutting against the container body abutment edge, and a lid plug-in portion. The plug-in portion has a side surface extending in the longitudinal direction and faces the inner surface of the container body, when the container lid is in a closed position. The lid collar is made of the same material as the container body and the lid collar is delimited from the container body by a slit or by weaking means.

The present invention is directed to enhanced content security mechanisms for containers. Further, the invention is directed to containers comprising these enhanced content security mechanisms. In particular, the containers of the present invention comprising the enhanced content security mechanism of the invention offer advanced anchoring of the contents (e.g., baked goods or sensitive devices such as medical devices) of the container by preventing: shifting, tipping, breaking, crumbling, rolling or other movement of the contents; thus securing the contents and preventing damage to the contents, i.e., preserving the appearance and integrity of contents contained within.

A lid-spout assembly for a package having a main body comprising a designated pour opening and being filled with a pourable product. The lid-spout assembly comprises at least a spout having a pouring outlet, a lid configured to selectively close and open the pouring outlet and a tethering element tethering the lid to the spout and/or the main body. The spout comprises a base frame coupling and/or configured to couple the spout to the main body about the designated pour opening and a collar carrying and/or comprising the pouring outlet and being fixed to and protruding from the base frame. The lid is moveable at least in a closed position in which the lid closes and/or seals the pouring outlet and an open position in which the lid opens the pouring outlet. The lid comprises an interaction ridge being configured to interact with the collar so as to determine a closing force with the lid being arranged in the closed position for retaining the lid in the closed position.

The present invention relates to a plastic container for a liquid, comprising a body portion (1) and a neck portion (2). The body portion (1) comprises a body portion wall (3) forming a reservoir adapted to contain the liquid. The neck portion (2) is formed by a neck portion wall (6) that forms an opening (5) for filling the container with liquid and emptying the container. The container body portion wall (3) and the container neck portion wall (6) are made of biodegradable plastics at least the body portion (1) wall being made of a material comprising 40 to 99.9 weight percent of poly hydroxyalkanoate (PHA). The maximum thickness of the neck portion wall (6) is less than 2 mm, and preferably comprised between 1.2 mm and 1.6 mm. This enhances the biodegradability of the whole container.
