Abstract: This invention is a paperboard container comprising a bottom wall, an upwardly extending side wall, a first curved portion joining the side wall to the periphery of the bottom wall, an outwardly extending rim, a second curved portion joining the rim to the periphery of the side wall, and a downwardly curved lip outwardly extending from the periphery of the rim. The container is integrally formed from a substantially homogeneous paperboard blank by a press such that the thickness of the side wall, second curved portion and rim is less than that of the bottom wall, first curved portion and lip. The container includes a plurality of densified regions radially extending through and circumferentially spaced about annular sections of the side wall, second curved portion and rim.
