摘要： A canister for storing a particulate-type product. The canister includes a tubular body, a bottom panel, a top panel and a plurality of tabs. The tubular body defines an upper opening, a lower opening, and an internal storage region. The bottom panel is connected to the tubular body so as to encompass the lower opening. The top panel is similarly connected to the tubular body so as to encompass the upper opening and includes a lid. The lid is selectively secured to the tubular body at the upper opening such that the lid is moveable from an initial, closed state to an opened state, and from the opened state to a reclosed state. In the initial, closed state, the lid is secured to the tubular body. In the opened state, the lid is displaced from the tubular body to define a pour opening through which the internal storage region is accessible. In the reclosed state, the lid substantially encompasses the pour opening. Finally, the plurality of tabs are associated with the lid in at least the reclosed state. In one preferred embodiment, tab formation is completed as the lid is forced from the initial, closed state, and the tabs assist in frictionally securing the lid to the tubular body in the reclosed state.

摘要： A packaging for containing a particulate product is disclose in preferred forms of a canister (10) and a bag (100). The packaging includes a body (11, 110) and at least one microhole (40, 400) formed in the body (11, 110). Other than the microhole(s) (40, 400), the body (11, 110) is hermetically sealed. In this regard, the body (11, 110) defines an internal storage region (20, 200) configured to contain a particulate product (22). The microhole(s) (40, 400) are sized to allow passage of air from the internal storage region (20, 200), as well as to limit passage of the particulate product (22). During use, a decrease in atmospheric pressure applied to the packaging, such as during shipping, results in air being vented from the internal storage region (20, 200) via the microhole(s) (40, 400). Due to this air flow, an internal pressure of the body (11, 110) maintains substantial equilibrium with atmospheric pressure such that the body (11, 110) will not unexpectedly expand or in the case of bag (100) burst.

摘要： A canister for containing a particulate-type product. The canister includes at least one side wall, a top closure and a bottom closure. The side wall defines at least a portion of an internal storage region having an upper opening and a lower opening. The side wall includes a first paper-based layer, a second layer and an adhesive. The first layer includes a main body portion and a premium. The body portion and the premium are integrally formed such that the premium is selectively detachable from the body portion. The body portion and the premium each define an inner surface and an outer surface. The second layer has an inner surface and an outer surface. The adhesive bonds the inner surface of the body portion to the outer surface of the second layer, but does not impede detachment of the premium from the body portion. The top closure is connected to the side wall to encompass the upper opening. The bottom closure is connected to the side wall so as to encompass the lower opening. With this configuration, the second layer maintains a structural integrity of the canister upon detachment of the premium.

摘要翻译： 用于容纳颗粒型产品的罐。 罐包括至少一个侧壁，顶盖和底盖。 侧壁限定具有上开口和下开口的内部存储区域的至少一部分。 侧壁包括第一纸基层，第二层和粘合剂。 第一层包括主体部分和溢价。 主体部分和顶部是整体形成的，使得溢价可选择性地从主体部分拆卸。 主体部分和高级部分分别限定内表面和外表面。 第二层具有内表面和外表面。 粘合剂将主体部分的内表面粘合到第二层的外表面，但不妨碍溢价与主体部分的脱离。 顶盖连接到侧壁以包围上开口。 底盖连接到侧壁以便包围下开口。 利用这种配置，第二层在溢价分离时保持了罐的结构完整性。
