Abstract:
A reclosable lid (10) for a container holding a flowable substance has a cover (12) having an opening (28) and a moveable element (850) connected to the cover (12). The moveable element (850) is moveable between at least one open position, wherein the flowable substance may flow through the opening, and at least one closed position, wherein the opening is obstructed. In some embodiments, the lid (10) may include an overlay (250) moveable between at least one open position and at least one closed position.
Abstract:
The invention relates to pressed paperboardTcontainers (10), such as disposable paper plates and bowls, having increased strength and rigidity, and the processes used to form such containers by the formation of non- radial pleats (30) at outer regions of the container. The invention also provides pleats (30) about the outer periphery that are non-linear along the length of the pleat (30). Such non-radial and non-linear pleats are formed by forming non-radial and non-linear scores (34) in a blank(36) of paperboard converted into the container geometry.
Abstract:
An environmentally friendly sheet material, and thermoformed products made with that material. The two-, three- or four layer environmentally friendly sheet material is especially suited for use in connection with the manufacture of cups and similar containers and products. In a two-layer compostable sheet, the first layer is a relatively thick layer containing up to 50% additive. The second layer is a relatively thin layer of substantially clear compostable material. The two-layer sheet material is preferably made by co-extruding the first and second layers together. The multi-layer material and the products therefrom of the invention exhibits surprisingly high gloss levels on one side thereof.
