Abstract: A container assembly includes a container body having a side wall encircling an axis, and a metal end for attachment to an upper edge of the side wall via heat-sealing. The outer peripheral region is shaped prior to application to the container body such that an annular channel is defined between an inner chuck wall and an outer chuck wall of the metal end. The metal end is pushed straight onto the side wall such that the upper edge of the side wall is received into the channel. The surfaces of the side wall and the opposing surfaces of the chuck walls have heat-sealable material thereon. The metal end is heated to melt and fuse the heat-sealable layers, thereby sealing the metal end onto the side wall. The metal end is shaped such that the free edge of the outer chuck wall is not exposed.

Abstract: A container lid with a food compartment is provided. The lid may be constructed in three parts: an outer food container shell, an inner food container shell and a food compartment cover. The outer food container shell is constructed to fit tightly on a beverage container and has at least one beverage transfer hole that allows the beverage to travel into the outer food container shell. When the inner food container shell is nested into the outer food container shell, a beverage conduit is formed that allows the beverage to travel from the beverage container, through the at least one beverage transfer hole, into the beverage conduit and to a sip hole. Thermoforming may be used to create each of the three parts, and the parts may snap-fit together. Different materials may be used for the parts including black opaque plastic, white opaque plastic and clear plastic.
