A container configured to hold one or more units of a product is provided. The container may comprise a lid and a base. The lid and/or the base may be constructed from a pulp derived from a plant material. For example, the pulp derived from the plant material may be a wood pulp material. A related method is also provided.

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.

An apparatus having a body portion and a tab coupled to the body portion via a hinge, wherein the tab comprises a first side edge and a second side edge, and further wherein the tab has a closed position covering an opening in the body and an open position where the opening is uncovered, wherein in the first condition the tab has a first width, and when the tab is in a second condition, the tab has been widened to a second width greater than the first width, and the tab has an outer radial edge that extends towards, but short of, the outer portion of the apparatus, and wherein a flat surface is positioned around the opening, and when the tab is in the second condition the side edges of the widened tab extend over the flat surface when the tab is in the closed position.

A vessel closure (1, 21, 41, 61) includes a sealing element (3, 23, 43, 63). The sealing element (3, 23, 43, 63) includes a polymer composition. The polymer composition includes a polyalphaolefin with kinematic viscosity, determined according to ASTM D445 / ISO 3104, of at least 4 cSt, at a temperature of 100° C., and/or a dropping point, determined according to ASTM 5950, of at most -10° C., and up to 95% by weight of a second polyolefin.

A toy container is for accommodating a toy and is made of paper containing a predetermined amount of pulp. Accordingly, the toy container can be an earth-environment friendly product as compared to conventional plastic products that are not naturally decomposable.

The utility model relates to means for closing drinking vessels, and more particularly to lids for disposable cups for hot and cold beverages. The technical result consists in devising a lid for a disposable cup that is simple to produce and can be used for the closure of hot and cold beverages, based on virgin and/or recycled (obtained from polyethylene terephthalate waste) polyethylene terephthalate foam. The essence of the utility model is that the lid for a disposable cup consists of a body with a rim for fastening to the lip of the cup, and an opening for the liquid supply, said lid being made of polyethylene terephthalate foam with a density from 100 kg/m.sup.3 to 900 kg/m.sup.3 and an inherent viscosity from 0.5 dL/g to 1.0 dL/g.

A hybrid package (10) is provided and comprises a wall (20) formed from a paper or paper-based material and a frame (15) formed from a plastics material. The frame (15) includes a step which is positioned against a free edge of the wall, whereby one or more exposed edges of the wall are protected by the frame.

A collapsible food container, comprising a collapsible container and a lid assembly, the collapsible container including an upper portion, a lower portion, and a seating wall, the seating wall coupled to a first end of the upper portion and the lower portion coupled to a second end of the upper portion opposite the first end, the upper portion being collapsible as to transition the collapsible container between an expanded state and a collapsed state, the lid assembly including a rigid collar and a rigid lid, the rigid collar removably coupled to the seating wall of the collapsible container and the rigid lid removably coupling to the rigid collar.

A lid may be for a temperature-conserving container and may include a bottom wall, a side wall formed around a perimeter of the bottom wall, and a top wall connected to the side wall. An insulative cavity may be between the top wall and the bottom wall, and the insulative cavity may be configured to reduce heat transfer through the lid. A lip may be formed around at least a portion of an outer surface of the side wall or the top wall. The lid may be configured to be slidably received in an opening of the temperature-conserving container such that at least a portion of the lip engages a top rim of the opening and forms a seal between the outer surface of the side wall and the inner surface of the opening, thereby sealing the temperature-conserving container.

What is proposed is a closure unit consisting of a glass container (50) with external, circumferentially offset threaded elements (54, 55) on a container neck (52) of the glass container, and a closure cover made of sheet metal, wherein the closure cover (1, 2) has an encircling plastics layer (30; 30h, 30v) on the inside of the cover. The closure cover is pressed onto the container neck (52) and can be opened with a rotational movement via the threaded elements (54, 55) and a vertical section (30v) of the plastics layer. The container neck (52) has a horizontal end surface (52a) on which a horizontal section (30h) of the plastics layer rests under pressure in a sealing manner. A central region (11) of the closure cover passes with an adjoining, circumferentially oriented transition zone (11a, 11b, 11c) into an axially downwardly projecting skirt section (12) which ends in a roll-up region (21a, 21; 22). The plastics layer (30; 30h, 30v) is arranged on the inside of the cover in a manner adhering to the transition zone (11a, 11b, 11c) and the skirt section (12). An axial extent (h.sub.0) of the skirt section (12) and a radial dimension (b52) of the horizontally oriented end surface (52a) of the container neck (52) form a first ratio (v.sub.1) which is smaller than three.
