Container for food and/or drink to be consumed on the move and method for making it

A method for making a container (1) for food and/or drink to be consumed on the move comprising a first holder (3) for containing at least one food to be consumed on the move and at least a second holder (4) for supporting a receptacle containing a drink, wherein, in the position for use of the container (1), the first holder (3) and the second holder (4) are positioned one above the other and one below the other and they are distanced from each other in such a way as to allow the user independent access both to the first holder (3) for inserting food in and removing food from the first holder (3) and to the second holder (4) for inserting and removing the second receptacle in/from the second holder (4), characterised in that the method comprises the operating steps of:

• taking a piece of flat rigid or semi-rigid material (2) comprising an upper edge (5), a lower edge (6) and two lateral edges (7);
• making a mainly U-shaped cut (9) in the piece of material (2) for delimiting in the material a flap of material (10) connected to the remaining material, the orientation of the cut (9) being such that the upper part of the U is towards the upper edge (5);
• folding the flap of material (10) at least relative to the remaining material towards the upper edge (5), until the flap of material is positioned at least substantially partly opposite and distanced from the portion of material lying between the flap of material (10) and the upper edge (5);
• folding the lateral portions (16) of material adjacent to the lateral edges (7) towards each other until they are both at least partly superposed on the folded flap of material (10), and on each other at least at the lower edge (6);
• and
• fixing the flap of material (10) and the other folded lateral portions (16) in position.

• taking a piece of flat rigid or semi-rigid material (2) comprising an upper edge (5), a tower edge (6) and two lateral edges (7);
• making a through opening (29) in a central zone of the piece of material (2);
• folding the lateral portions (16) of material adjacent to the lateral edges (7) towards each other until they are both at least partly superposed at the lower edge (6) and the upper edge (5);
• and
• fixing the folded lateral portions (16) in position;
• the step of folding the lateral portions (16) of material adjacent to the lateral edges (7) comprising folding the material more at the lower edge (6) than at the upper edge (5), in such a way that the container (1) has a cross-section decreasing from the upper edge (5) towards the lower edge (8).
