A heat-insulating container having an outer surface laminate of foamed thermoplastic synthetic resin such as low density polyethylene is configured to facilitate unwrapping of the container brim so that the container can be used with under-the-brim promotional concepts and the like that require the brim to be unwrapped. The container is fabricated from a body member having an outside surface laminate of foamed polyethylene, and a bottom panel member, with the body member and the bottom panel member being bonded to one another at an interface between a portion of the inside surface of the body member and the upper surface of the bottom panel member. An uppermost region of the body member is curled to form a circumferentially extending brim. A first circumferential portion of the brim being bonded to the outside surface laminate of foamed polyethylene and a second circumferential portion of the brim being unbonded to the outside surface laminate of foamed polyethylene. Indicia is located on the body member and is covered by the second circumferential portion of the brim, with such indicia being uncoverable by unrolling the second circumferential portion of the brim.
A heat-insulating container fabricated from a body member having an outside surface laminate of foamed polyethylene and an inside surface, and a bottom panel member having an upper surface, said body member and said bottom panel member being bonded to one another at an interface between a portion of the inside surface of the body member and the upper surface of the bottom panel member, an uppermost region of said body member being curled to form a circumferentially extending brim, a first circumferential portion of said brim being bonded to the outside surface laminate of foamed polyethylene and a second circumferential portion of said brim being unbonded to the outside surface laminate of foamed polyethylene, and including indicia on the body member that is covered by said second circumferential portion of said brim and uncoverable by unrolling the second circumferential portion of said brim.
A container comprising a body member and a bottom panel member, an uppermost region of said body member being wrapped around to define a circumferentially extending brim of the container, and including indicia on the body member that is covered by one portion of the circumferentially extending brim, said one portion of the circumferentially extending brim having a length of wrap that is shorter than the length of wrap of an adjoining portion of the circumferentially extending brim to facilitate unrolling said one portion of the circumferentially extending brim for purposes of viewing said indicia.
A container body member blank used to produce a container body member forming, with a bottom panel member, a container having a brim at its upper end, the container body member blank comprising a blank of paper having one surface laminate of low density polyethylene which is to form an outer surface of the container main body, said blank having oppositely located uppermost and lowermost arcuate edges, and two oppositely positioned and diverging side edges extending between the uppermost and lowermost edges, an uppermost region of said blank adjoining said uppermost edge defining a brim forming region that is adapted to be wrapped to form the brim of the container upon forming the blank into the container body member, said brim forming region being provided with a notched area that is notched inwardly towards the lowermost edge, and including indicia provided on said blank within said brim forming region at a location immediately below said notched area so that when said blank is formed into the container body member with the brim forming region wrapped to form the brim, said indicia is covered by the brim.
A method for producing a container body member blank used to fabricate a container body which, together with a bottom panel member, forms a container having a wrapped brim at its upper end, comprising punching out a container body member blank from a sheet of paper having a surface laminate of low density polyethylene and indicia on said surface laminate so that said container body member blank includes oppositely located uppermost and lowermost arcuate edges, oppositely located and diverging side edges, and a notched area in the uppermost edge that is notched inwardly towards the lowermost edge at a position immediately adjacent said indicia so that said indicia is covered by the brim of the container when the container body member blank is formed into a container main body and connected to a bottom panel member.
A method for forming a container comprising:
