## Abstract

Tubular, especially can-shaped, receptacle for the accommodation of fluids, especially drinks, with a tubular body and a base and top section attached to this, wherein the top section is constructed in the shape of a shoulder and is suitable for attaching a closure device, especially a resealable one. The shoulder-shaped top section is at least partially enclosed, especially in the shape of a shoulder, by an upper edge of the tubular body and sealed with this.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method of manufacturing a tubular receptacle for the accommodation of fluids, with a tubular body and a base and top section attached to this, comprising inserting a shoulder-shaped top section in the tubular body and sealing with this in such a way that the shoulder-shaped top section is at least partially enclosed by an upper edge of the tubular body.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

A method according to claim 1, comprising inserting a circular-shaped base section in the tubular body and sealing with this in such a way that it is enclosed by a lower edge of the tubular body.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

A method according to claim 1, wherein the tubular body is manufactured from a laminate that has at least one barrier coating, preferably comprising one or more of the following materials: polyethylene terephthalate silicon oxide (PET-SiOx), stretched polyamide (OPA-SiOx), ethylene-vinyl alcohol (EVOH), polyamide (PA) aluminum (Al).

### Claim 4 (depends on 1)

A method according to claim 1, wherein the tubular body has been manufactured by extrusion.

### Claim 5

A method of packaging a fluid under slight excess pressure comprising:
providing a tubular receptacle having a tubular body, a base, and a shoulder shaped top section; and
filling said tubular receptacle with said fluid under slight excess pressure.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

A method according to claim 5, wherein said fluid comprises a carbonated drink.
