    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of forming a paperboard packaging container comprising a tubular paperboard container body, a container bottom and a container lid. The container body comprises a container body abutment edge at the container opening. The container body has an inner surface facing towards an inner compartment in the packaging container and an outer surface facing away from the inner compartment. The container lid comprises a lid collar having an abutment edge adapted for abutting against the container body abutment edge, and a lid plug-in portion. The plug-in portion has a side surface extending in the longitudinal direction and faces the inner surface of the container body, when the container lid is in a closed position. The lid collar is made of the same material as the container body and the lid collar is delimited from the container body by a slit or by weaking means.

  • Patent number: 12325196
    Abstract: A radially expansible press plunger including a base plate and a first plunger skirt. A circumferential edge portion of the first plunger skirt is arranged at a guiding surface of the base plate and being arranged radially inward of the circumferential edge of the bottom surface. The first plunger skirt is resiliently transformable between an unexpanded state and a radially expanded state. The expansible press plunger further comprises a second plunger skirt having a plunger skirt side wall with a circumferential edge portion at a bottom end of the second plunger skirt and being arranged radially outward of the circumferential edge portion of the first plunger skirt. The second plunger skirt is resiliently transformable between an unexpanded state and a radially expanded state under influence from the circumferential edge portion of the first plunger skirt.

  • Patent number: 12122571
    Abstract: The present disclosure pertains to a laminate membrane for sealing an inner compartment in a packaging container comprising a top member and a bottom member. The top and bottom members are laminated sheet materials. The top member has a thickness, a top member first surface and a top member second surface facing the bottom member. The bottom member has a bottom member first surface facing the top member second surface and a bottom member second surface. The laminate membrane is provided with a valve for allowing gas in the inner compartment of the packaging container to exit therefrom. The valve has a valve outer edge and is arranged on the bottom member first surface. The valve is arranged within an opening in the top member such that an opening edge encircles the valve. A surface area of the opening is greater than a surface area of the valve.
