The edge of the blank exposed to contents of the container can be wrapped by a sideseam tape in order to protect the edge.

Abstract: A paper cup with a hand grip has a cylindrical cup body with an open upper end to accommodate beverages and a hand grip attached to an outer wall of the cup body and a pair of ring-shaped portions. The ring-shaped portions are symmetrically disposed on right and left ends of the contact portion and each include a through hole through which a user puts a finger when grasping the hand grip. The ring-shaped portions are movable between a first position where they are attached to the outer wall of the cup body and a second position where the ring-shaped portions face each other. In this way the paper cup can be stably and conveniently grasped to prevent a beverage in the paper cup from being shaken and overflowing, even when a hot or cold beverage is filled in the paper cup.

Abstract: A container of the present invention is designed for shipping and holding various items. The container is formed from a blank of a material, such as corrugated material, plastic, paperboard, etc. and includes side panels extending between a top portion and a bottom portion. A tear line extends around the side panels for disengaging the top portion from the container thereby exposing all of the items extending along the side panels. An improved configuration of the perforations or slits along the tear line prevents the corners defined between the side panels from being damaged and deformed and provides for smooth tearing of the tear line from the container. A second tear section is defined in the a portion of the container by a perforation line with the tear section being separable from the top portion thereby partially exposing the items contained in the container.

Abstract: A megaphone popcorn cup is provided. The cup includes a first end, which is open to an interior of the cup, and a second end, which has a smaller diameter than the first end. The cup has a side wall with overlapping first and second side edges that are attached to one another. An end cap at least partially seals the second end. The end cap is vertically offset from the second end toward the first end and is formed with the side wall as a single, continuous piece of material.

Abstract: A process for producing a cup made of a paper material and comprising a fillable interior is described. A sleeve forming the interior is attached in an essentially liquid-tight manner to a wall of a pot-shaped bottom by means of the forming of a bottom skirt. In joining the sleeve to the bottom, two height areas of the wall of the pot-shaped bottom are provided. The wall of the pot-shaped bottom is joined only to a first height area of the sleeve, which is referred to as the fixed area of the bottom skirt. A second height area remains, in which the wall of the pot-shaped bottom is not attached to the sleeve, and which is referred to as the non-attached area of the bottom skirt. The bottom skirt can be widened subsequently in the non-attached area in at least one area along the periphery.

Abstract: A packaging container is used to package a regulated fluid dispensing system including a regulated fluid dispensing device and a beverage container. The packaging includes carry handles, and a perforation pattern that allows a front panel of the packaging container to be removed thus exposing working parts of the dispensing device. The dispensing system may remain housed within the packaging during use that assists in stabilizing and protecting the dispensing system.

Abstract: The present invention is a handled container for retail products. The handled container defines an upper opening wherein a first upper panel and a second upper panel together cover a substantial portion of the upper opening. The second upper panel is provided with a pair of substantially parallel cuts extending across the second upper panel to define a handle in the second upper panel. A first upper panel is shaped such that it provides access to the handle when the first upper panel is positioned above the second upper panel and both are in the closed position to substantially seal the handled container.

Abstract: A thermal insulating liner for a container lid has a top sheet and a bottom sheet spaced by a core. The bottom sheet has an exterior metal foil layer. A side edge-to-side edge transverse cut line extends through the bottom sheet proximate each of two opposed ends of the liner. The liner has reduced thickness end margins extending between each said side edge-to-side edge transverse cut line and each of the opposed ends. A die to make the lid liner has a central well and, proximate each end of the die, an upward step to a land with an inside edge of the step having a ramp surface. A first cutting blade protrudes upwardly from the land and a second cutting blade protrudes upwardly above the land at each end of the die and above the level of the first cutting blade.

Abstract: A drinking apparatus comprising a base and a sheet having a first end and a second end. The sheet is rolled to exhibit an inner side and a predefined perimeter, such that the first end is adhesively attached to the inner side of the rolled sheet, and such that the second end protrudes outwardly from the predefined perimeter of the rolled sheet.
