Abstract
A container blank including a paperboard shell layer and a core layer. The container blank has a predetermined removable portion the provides for a separable cap portion after the container blank is erected. The container blank can include a lobe for tightly fitting the cap portion to the body portion of the erected container and or provide for a core rim that is located at a rim distance that is a function of position about the longitudinal axis of the container and or include at least one dosing indicia.
Claims20
A container blank comprising:
- a paperboard shell layer comprising two transverse edges on opposing sides of a central axis, a shell bottom edge extending between said transverse edges orthogonal to said central axis, and a shell top edge opposite said shell bottom edge and extending between said transverse edges;
- wherein said shell layer comprises:
- a body portion extending from said shell bottom edge to a lower line of limitation;
- a predetermined removeable portion extending from said lower line of limitation to an upper line of limitation;
- and
- a cap portion extending from said upper line of limitation to said shell top edge;
- and
- a paperboard core layer, wherein when said core layer is in facing relationship with said shell layer said core layer extends from below said lower line of limitation to a core rim above said upper line of limitation;
- wherein when said core layer is in facing relationship with said shell layer said core rim is located at a rim distance from said shell bottom edge as measured parallel to said central axis and said rim distance is a function of distance from said central axis;
- and
- wherein when said core layer is in facing relationship with said shell layer said core rim has a rim distance global maxima and a rim distance global minima relative to said shell bottom edge.
A container blank comprising:
- a paperboard shell layer comprising two transverse edges on opposing sides of a central axis, a shell bottom edge extending between said transverse edges orthogonal to said central axis, and a shell top edge opposite said shell bottom edge and extending between said transverse edges;
- wherein said shell layer comprises:
- a body portion extending from said shell bottom edge to a lower line of limitation;
- a predetermined removeable portion extending from said lower line of limitation to an upper line of limitation;
- and
- a cap portion extending from said upper line of limitation to said shell top edge;
- and
- a paperboard core layer, wherein when said core layer is in facing relationship with said shell layer said core layer extends from below said lower line of limitation to a core rim above said upper line of limitation;
- wherein said body portion comprises a lobe immediately below said lower line of limitation and has a body portion length between said transverse edges orthogonal to said central axis immediately below said lobe;
- wherein said lobe has a lobe length orthogonal to said central axis and said lobe length is more than 5% of said body portion length;
- wherein said lobe has a lobe exterior height parallel to said central axis and said lobe has a lobe length to lobe height ratio greater than 1.
A container blank comprising:
- a paperboard shell layer comprising two transverse edges on opposing sides of a central axis, a shell bottom edge extending between said transverse edges orthogonal to said central axis, and a shell top edge opposite said shell bottom edge and extending between said transverse edges;
- wherein said shell layer comprises:
- a body portion extending from said shell bottom edge to a lower line of limitation;
- a predetermined removeable portion extending from said lower line of limitation to an upper line of limitation;
- and
- a cap portion extending from said upper line of limitation to said shell top edge;
- and
- a paperboard core layer comprising two core layer side edges, wherein when said core layer is in facing relationship with said shell layer said core layer extends from below said lower line of limitation to a core rim above said upper line of limitation and one of said side edges is further away from said central axis than one of said transverse edges.
