Publication number: 20190298110Abstract: A packaging is disclosed for a powdered material comprising a tub for receiving the material, the tub having a base and a peripheral wall with a top edge; an outer sleeve around at least the peripheral wall of the tub, thereby supporting the tub; a removable membrane for separating the powdered material in the tub from the environment; and a lid assembly comprising a peripheral rim for connection over the top edge of the peripheral wall of the tub and defining a wide access opening and a lid, hingedly attached to the rim for reclosing the access opening. Furthermore, a method of manufacturing a package for a powdered material is disclosed, comprising sliding the tub in the sleeve, such that at least the peripheral wall of the tub is enclosed by the sleeve, whereby the sleeve supports the tub and the tub and sleeve form a container for the powdered material.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 18, 2019Publication date: October 3, 2019Applicant: N.V.

Patent number: 10201250Abstract: A container assembly includes a thermoformed tub of relatively thin plastic material having a peripheral wall extending to an upper edge and defining a product containing space. A lower rim is connected to the upper edge of the tub, the lower rim defining an opening giving access to the product containing space and being formed of a relatively thicker plastic material. An upper rim is connectable to the lower rim and a lid is provided for selectively closing the opening. By the use of a thin walled thermoformed tub, the amount of material required for forming the body of the container is limited. Furthermore, the lower rim of relatively thicker plastic material provides the required support to the relatively thin material of the peripheral wall, allowing effective connection to the upper rim.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2014Date of Patent: February 12, 2019Assignee: N.V.

Publication number: 20170107002Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing and filling a package with a powdered nutritional product, such as infant nutrition or milk formula, the method comprising providing a thermoformed tub having sidewalls and a base defining a product receiving space, filling the product receiving space with the powdered nutritional product, and sealing a membrane across an open mouth of the tub to seal the product therein; and folding a carton blank with a plurality of panels around the filled tub to form a carton sleeve, wherein the carton sleeve comprises a peripheral wall enclosing at least the sidewalls of the tub. The invention also relates to a package for such a powdered nutritional product manufactured according to this method.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 4, 2015Publication date: April 20, 2017Applicant: N.V.

Publication number: 20160001941Abstract: A low profile scoop for dosing of powdered infant formula has a handle portion and a bowl with an open mouth and a closed underside. The bowl has a width that is relatively smaller than both its length and its depth, allowing it to be placed on its side in areas of relatively low head space. The scoop may be used in package for powdered infant nutrition including a tub defining a product containing space and a lid having limited head space.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 24, 2014Publication date: January 7, 2016Applicant: N.V.

Publication number: 20150320263Abstract: A method of manufacturing and filling a package includes: a) providing a thermoformed tub defining a product receiving space, filling the product receiving space with a nutritional product, and sealing a membrane across an open mouth of the tub to seal the product therein; b) providing a carton sleeve having a peripheral wall; and c) inserting the tub into the sleeve such that at least the sidewalls of the tub are enclosed by the sleeve, whereby the sleeve supports the tub. The carton blank can be erected separately from the tub and a mandrel may be used to ensure manufacturing tolerance. For recycling, the sleeve and tub can be separated and disposed of as required.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2013Publication date: November 12, 2015Inventors: Alexander Josephus Maricus VAN PUIJENBROEK, Patrick Michael VAN BAAL, Sjors Floris CRUSIUS, Priya Caroline ROBERTS, Benoit Marie Francois PIETTE, Gary John BURDETT
