Folded package and method of formation

A method of forming a folded package comprising a hollow paper cone having an exterior, an interior, a length, a center axis along the length, a width, where the length is greater than the width, and two ends opposite each other joined by a middle section, where one end is a proximal end forming an open mouth, and the other end is a distal end that is approximately a quarter of the length of the cone and terminates in a rim that defines an opening that provides access to the interior of the cone, the method comprising:

• orienting the cone within a die such that the distal end is above the proximal end;
• positioning a portion of loose particulate filling above the distal end;
• weighing the portion of loose particulate filling prior to depositing the loose particulate matter into the interior of the cone
• depositing the portion loose particulate filling into the interior of the cone through the distal end;
• bending the rim toward the center axis such that the distal end is plastically deformed and the rim is held by plastic deformation proximate to the center axis;
• while the cone is within the die, applying circumferential pressure around the plastically deformed rim and pressing the plastically deformed rim toward the proximal end such that a portion of the distal end is held by plastic deformation within the interior of the cone such that the plastically deformed distal end covers at least a majority of the filling within the interior of the cone.
