THERMOFORMED CONTAINER WITH LID Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC B65D43/16 B65D51/20 B65D51/24 

FIELD: package.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to containers for packaging and dispensing products, in particular powder products such as baby food or milk formula. Container assembly (1) comprises thermo-formed tub (2) of relatively thin plastic material having peripheral wall (16) extending to upper edge (18) and defining product containing space (20). Lower rim (9) is connected to the upper edge of the tub, the lower rim defining opening (26) giving access to product containing space (20) and being formed of a relatively thicker plastic material. Upper rim (10) is connectable to the lower rim and lid (12) is provided for selectively closing the opening.

EFFECT: by using a thin walled thermoformed tub, the amount of material required for forming the body of the container is limited; furthermore, the lower rim of relatively thicker plastic material provides the required support to the relatively thin material of the peripheral wall, allowing effective connection to the upper rim.
