AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The method enables the creation of a recyclable package with improved strength and printability, ensuring product safety and compliance with strict norms, while allowing for easy disassembly and recycling, addressing the challenges of composite package recycling.

Problems solved by technology

Such cans are however relatively heavy and expensive to produce.
A disadvantage of composite packages is that they may be difficult to recycle.

Embodiment Construction

[0051]FIG. 1 shows in perspective view a package 1 manufactured according to the present invention. The package 1 is in its completed state and includes a tub 2, enclosed by a sleeve 4, and a lid assembly 3.

[0052]FIG. 2 shows a partially exploded view of the package 1 showing in further detail the component parts of the package 1, including the tub 2, the sleeve 4, a membrane 6, a lower rim 8, an upper rim 10 and a lid 12. The tub 2 is thermoformed of a laminate of inner and outer relatively thin polypropylene material layers and an intermediate EVOH barrier layer. It includes a base 14 and a peripheral wall 16 defining a product containing space 20. The peripheral wall 16 extends to an upper edge 18 having an outwardly directed flange 19. The sleeve 4 is formed of carton. Lower rim 8 is formed as a flat annular ring of a similar dimension to the outwardly directed flange 19. The lower rim 8 is injection moulded of polypropylene, although it will be understood that other appropriate...

Abstract

A method of manufacturing and filling a package includes:a) providing a thermoformed tub defining a product receiving space, filling the product receiving space with a nutritional product, and sealing a membrane across an open mouth of the tub to seal the product therein; b) providing a carton sleeve having a peripheral wall; and c) inserting the tub into the sleeve such that at least the sidewalls of the tub are enclosed by the sleeve, whereby the sleeve supports the tub. The carton blank can be erected separately from the tub and a mandrel may be used to ensure manufacturing tolerance. For recycling, the sleeve and tub can be separated and disposed of as required.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0001]1. Field of the Invention[0002]The present invention relates to the manufacturing of packages and in particular to the manufacturing of packages for powdered nutritional products such as infant nutrition or milk formula. The invention also relates to such a package.[0003]2. Description of the Related Art[0004]Powdered material, such as infant milk formula, has been sold in various forms of package for many years. Metal cans were initially the preferred container as they were relatively easy and cheap to produce and could be sealed for long term storage. The seal comprised an aluminium foil across the mouth of the container that was removed on first use. As a single container would be used for an extended period, the containers were provided with re-closable plastic lids which gripped over the outer rim of the metal can. A measuring scoop was frequently included with the container, either packaged separately or within the can itself. Such cans are how...
