Various embodiments of a thin-walled metal container, such as a cup are described. The thin-walled metal cup includes a body with a tightly curled lip at the top end of the cup. The body includes a plurality of sections such that the diameter of the cup may be different at different places along the height of the cup. The thin-walled metal cup is designed to be light weight with a shape configured to facilitate grasping or holding the body of the cup.

The present disclosure is related to jars and containers and, more particularly, to the manufacture of readily recyclable jars and containers.

An exemplary jar is comprised of an aluminum base and a first aluminum inner cup provided with a first cavity defined with the aluminum base. An outer thread is provided about an exterior surface of the aluminum base, and an aluminum lid with a second aluminum inner cup is provided within a second cavity defined within the aluminum lid. An inner thread mateable with the outer thread is provided about an interior surface of the second aluminum inner cup.

A method of manufacturing readily recyclable jars can comprise providing a primary metal material and optionally applying a precoating to the primary metal material. The primary metal material may be formed into a jar with mating threads and a lid with mating threads. The primary metal material may optionally be finished. A liner may optionally be inserted. The lid and jar are then assembled, and a plastic cup may optionally be installed.

A manufacturing a container makes it possible to easily manufacture a container including a body portion with a shape that expands outward toward an upper face side. A method for manufacturing a container according to the disclosure is a method for manufacturing a container made of metal, including a bottom portion and a body portion, open on the upper face side, and having a shape in which the body portion expands outward toward the upper face side. The method includes a bottom drawing step of reducing a diameter of a cup body made of metal and having a bottomed cylindrical shape by operating a diameter reducing die having a hole portion with a smaller diameter than an outer diameter of the cup body along a cylindrical axis direction from a bottom side, in which the bottom drawing step is repeated a plurality of times.

A drink cup includes a body formed to include an interior region providing a fluid-holding reservoir and a brim. The brim is coupled to the body to form an opening into the interior region. The body includes a floor and a sidewall that extends away from the floor. The drink cup further includes a body-strengthening system coupled to the body.

A thermoformed packaging container includes a base section having a bottom surface, first and second inner and outer base side walls, and first and second inner and outer base end walls forming a chamber, with at least one outer base one side wall having a plurality of base indentations and protrusions formed therein. A cover section having a top surface, first and second cover side walls, and first and second cover end walls, the cover section adapted to cover the base section when in a closed state, with at least one of the cover side walls having a plurality of cover indentations and protrusions formed therein for engaging with the plurality of base indentations and protrusions. The container also includes a closure mechanism for securing the container in a closed position, wherein the closure mechanism is formed within at least one end wall of the base section and a corresponding end wall of the cover section.

A container having enhanced wall integrity with a rotational element and a stacking feature is provided. The container includes a sidewall having an alignment structure formed along a height of the sidewall and an upper stacking shoulder formed above the alignment structure. The alignment structure is adapted for orienting the container with respect to a second container so that the alignment structures of the containers become parallel with one another and the containers may be fully nested one within the other. The alignment structure can be recessed into the sidewall to form peaks and valleys along an inner surface of the container. The upper stacking feature is formed into the sidewall of the container and includes a radially extending wall portion and an upwardly extending wall portion that together form a stacking corner. The stacking shoulder is provided above the alignment structure facilitates nesting of two containers when stacked together.
