  • Publication number: 20200307887
    Abstract: The present disclosure, in one embodiment, relates to a packaging assembly for holding liquids, viscous material, or particulate material. The packaging assembly includes a carton having side and bottom walls and an open top. A self-supporting plastic liner fits inside of the carton and is for containing liquids, viscous material, or particulate material. The liner has a side wall, a closed bottom end, and an open top end having an outwardly-projecting rim. The rim has a radially-extending flange portion, and a dependent skirt portion. When the self-supporting plastic liner is inside of the carton, the dependent skirt portion of the rim hangs over the side walls of the carton. A lidding material is removeably affixed to the rim of the plastic liner. A carton lid closes off the open top of the carton.

  • Publication number: 20180127177
    Abstract: A packaging assembly for holding contents is provided. The packaging assembly includes a self-supporting liner having a wall that encloses sides and bottom of an interior of the liner and defines an open top end of the liner, and a rim that projects outwardly from the wall proximal to the open top end and a return from the rim forming a skirt extending downwardly from the rim. The packaging assembly also includes a lidding assembly including a cover region and a destructible seal region that seals the cover region to the liner extending over and closing the liner open top. The destructible cover region is weaker than the liner and the cover region so that detachment of the cover region from the liner causes the destructible seal region to fail. The lidding assembly includes a first lidding material having a center portion and an outer portion that surrounds the center portion.
