Method for manufacturing a lined container

In a method of manufacturing a container having an outer container tube of cardboard or similar stiff material and a lining of plastic or any other easily formable material provided in the said outer container tube, one end of the container exposing an openable lining side and the opposite end intended to be filled and closed, the steps of:

• providing a tubular outer container blank having bottom close flaps, the combined surface of which is at least as large as the bottom surface of the container and top flaps, and the total surface of which is substantially less than the cross sectional area of the container, providing a separate linking blank in the form of an open lining blank, introducing the lining blank into the outer container blank so that the upper side thereof is positioned at or adjacent the upper edge of the container blank, pressing the lining blank from the openable side back some distance into itself to provide a lining rib extending round the openable side, and securing the lining blank in the outer container blank by folding the top flaps of the outer container blank in and securing them to the said lining rib.
