Abstract: A container for food includes a paper-based substrate, and at least one grease and moisture resistant coating applied in liquid form to the paper-based substrate. The liquid coating is preferably formed from an aqueous-based dispersion of acrylic-based material. The liquid coating remains resistant to grease and moisture issuing from food at temperatures in the range of about -20.degree. F. to 425.degree. F.

Abstract: A package of the type having a container with a bottom surface, a peripheral wall, and a peripheral lip includes a seal secured to the peripheral lip and a cover positioned to overlie the seal and the peripheral lip. The cover includes two oppositely disposed side flaps oriented to extend away from the peripheral lip toward the bottom surface, and two bottom flaps each secured to a respective one of the two side flaps and to the bottom surface.

Abstract: A package of the type having a container with a bottom surface, a peripheral wall, and a peripheral lip includes a lid secured to the peripheral lip. At least one side flap is secured to the lid and is oriented to extend away from the lid toward the bottom surface, and at least one bottom flap is secured to the side flap and to the bottom surface. The side edges of the lid and the side flap define a plane oriented substantially perpendicular to the lid such that the package is stable when resting on the side edges of the lid and the side flap. At least a portion of the side edge of the bottom flap is angled away from this plane toward the bottom surface. The side flap is oriented perpendicular to both the lid and the plane defined by the side edges of the lid and side flap.

Abstract: A rotatable annular collar adapted for use with a conventional overcap of the snap-fit type and a container having a cylindrical mouth, an inwardly directed annular groove extending completely around the wall of the container and an outwardly projecting annular bead positioned at or between the mouth of the container and the annular groove formed for releasable holding engagement with the snap-fit cap is provided. The snap-fit cap has a top panel, an annular skirt depending therefrom and a lift tab extending outwardly from the lower margin of the depending skirt which also has an inwardly projecting annular bead adapted to snap over the outwardly projecting annular bead of the container. The rotatable annular collar has an upstanding exterior wall member with an access gate therein, an inwardly extending flange connecting the exterior wall member and an interior annular rib member frictionally fitted to the annular groove of the container.
