A can closure includes a body with a center panel and a peripheral curl. The can closure body has one of a reduced panel depth, a very reduced panel depth, an extremely reduced panel depth, or a beverage can reduced panel depth.

A lid made from a paper material or a paper-like material for a beverage cup, which lid is constructed from a lid-plate element and a wall element and which offers below a lid plate which is formed by the lid-plate element a space for receiving components of a beverage which protrude beyond the cup.

A plate attachment assembly that includes a first plate shell and a second plate shell configured to interlock with one another. The first plate shell and the second plate shell each have a bottom wall and a surrounding sidewall with a flange disposed thereon. The first and second plate shells are operably configured to selectively removably couple together in a watertight configuration using a locking tab disposed on one of the plate shells and a raised sidewall disposed above the flange of the first plate shell.

A pot or pan lid is configured for stacking with identical or differently sized lids that have an identical handle or knob with a dimple on the upper surface. The side of the lid opposite the handle has a complimentary protrusion configured to stably engage the dimple. The edge of the knob may extend laterally to correspond with the lid curvature to also support a similar lid on the knob perimeter that is distal from the dimple. The engaged central dimple and more distal perimeter of the knob provide for stable stacking of a plurality of lids in a level arrangement that avoids one or more lids tipping over.

An airtight container has a lid which is easily opened by the principle of the lever thus preventing broth from splashing out when the lid is opened. The airtight container includes a container body having a latching bump and a bent flange, a rotating knob connected to the flange and having an opening-closing plate and a step portion, and a lid having a latching protrusion, a downwardly bent flange and a lid extension portion, wherein, when the rotating knob is just rotated upward in a state where the lid is coupled to the container body, the opening-closing plate lifts the lid extension portion by the principle of the lever while the step portion prevents the lid extension portion from spreading outwards, thereby allowing the latching protrusion to be released from the latching bump and the lid to be opened from the container body.

A paper-based container lid comprises a top wall, a side wall connecting to the top wall, and a sealing channel formed on the side wall for sealingly engaging a rim of the container and securing the lid to the container, wherein the top wall and the side wall are preferably formed from separate blanks.

A container system includes a first container including a bottom wall, at least one sidewall, and an open top, with a plurality of indented recesses formed in the bottom wall. A first lid closes the open top of the first container. A second container includes a bottom wall, at least one sidewall, and an open top. A second lid closes the open top of the second container, with a push indicator structure formed at a center portion of the second lid, and with a plurality of registration bumps formed about the push indicator structure. The first container is stackable on the second lid such that (i) each of the registration bumps in the second lid is aligned with an adjacent one of the recesses in the bottom wall of the first container and (ii) surfaces of the registration bumps are spaced from surfaces of the adjacent recesses.

A container includes a cup and a lid. The lid is adapted to mate with a brim included in the cup to close a top aperture opening into an interior liquid-storage region formed in the cup.

Lids for cups. In preferred embodiments, lids which are installable on cups which provide hybrid functionalities. In still more preferred embodiments, hybrid drinking cup lids for installation on a cup which are structurally configured to include a drink through portion and a straw receiving portion; the drink through portion and the straw receiving portion being alternately useable for optionally drinking without a straw or for optionally drinking with a straw. In the most preferred embodiments the straw receiving portion is configured and located to reduce mechanical wear on inserted straws, such as paper straws, during use.
