- In an embodiment illustrated in
FIGS. 1-4 , the present disclosure provides apackaging 10 for administrating a consumable product such as a particulate material.Packaging 10 includes acap 20 having abase panel 22, fourside panels 24 extending frombase panel 22, and a threadedportion 26 extending from abottom side 28 ofbase panel 22.Base panel 22 defines ahole 30 therethrough for the consumable product to pass through.Hole 30 can be any suitable shape and size to accommodate a desired amount of food to be poured through by a user. Ahinged lid 40 is attached tocap 20 and can hingedly open and close to coverhole 30 ofbase panel 22.Packaging 10 further includes acontainer 50 that is releasably attachable tocap 20. - Hinged
lid 40 can be attached tobase panel 22 ofcap 20 using any suitable mechanism. For example, hingedlid 40 can include one ormore pegs 44 that fit into one ormore slots 46 ofbase panel 22 as shown inFIG. 3 (e.g., via a snap fit). Hingedlid 40 can then be hingedly opened and closed with respect tocap 20. - As shown in
FIG. 2 ,base panel 22 ofcap 20 can include arecessed portion 60 that is so constructed and arranged to accommodate hingedlid 40 therein. The shape ofrecessed portion 60 can match the shape of hingedlid 40. For example,recessed portion 60 allows hingedlid 40 to be fit withinbase panel 22 so that no portion of hingedlid 40 is abovecap 20 when hingedlid 40 is in a closed position as shown inFIG. 1 .Cap 20 can also includerounded corners 36. These features provide improved aesthetics to packaging 10. -
Side panels 24 can be tapered outwardly frombase panel 22 ofcap 20. As further shown inFIGS. 1-2 , one of side panels 24 (e.g., a front panel) ofcap 20 can include a recessedportion 62. Recessedportion 62 allows a user to more easily access and open hingedlid 40. Hingedlid 40 can include anextended sealing wall 42 that conforms to a border or edge 32 ofhole 30 ofcap 20. This provides an additional sealing mechanism to keep the contents of packaging 10 from leaking out of hingedlid 40 when hingedlid 40 is in the closed position. -
Container 50 includes atop panel 52, abottom panel 54 and fourside panels 56 extending betweentop panel 52 andbottom panel 54.Top panel 52 includes a threadedportion 58 extending fromtop panel 52 that defines a hole in which a product incontainer 50 can be poured through. Threadedportion 58 ofcontainer 50 should match threadedportion 26 ofcap 20 so thatcap 20 can be twisted off ofcontainer 50 as shown inFIG. 4 .Cap 20 is therefore removable fromcontainer 50 to allow the removal of a desired amount of product incontainer 50. Alternatively, hingedlid 40 is openable so that a desired amount of product can be poured therethrough by a user. -
Container 50 defines an interior compartment (not shown). Although thepanels container 50 are illustrated as being substantially rectangular in shape,panels container 50 may define any shape that is known in the art. For example,panels container 50 is capable of housing a consumable product within an interior compartment. For ease of reference, and with this embodiment,container 50 is a rectangular body as shown inFIG. 1 . - As further shown in
FIGS. 1 and 4 , one or more of the fourside panels 56 ofcontainer 50 are recessed. This not only provides an aesthetically pleasing design, but also allows a user to grabcontainer 50 more easily for handling and pouring.Container 50 can also includerounded corners 60. -
Cap 20 is sized and shaped to fit withcontainer 50.Container 50 is not limited to any particular size so long as consumable products may be contained therein and may be easily handled by a user. The dimensions ofcap 20 andcontainer 50 can be such that they have identical or substantially similar peripheral shapes so as to makepackaging 10 appear as a cohesive unit as shown inFIG. 1 . The skilled artisan will appreciate that the dimensions ofcap 20 andcontainer 50 may vary as desired or in accordance with manufacturing specifications or in accordance with the size and shape of the consumable products contained therein. -
Cap 20 is not limited to any particular shape or size, so long ascap 20 is capable of sealingly fitting tocontainer 50 to prevent loss or contamination of a consumable product housed therein. In alternative embodiments, besides using threadedportions cap 20 may be mated withcontainer 50 by snap-fitting, pressure-fitting, friction fitting, etc.Cap 20 may be fitted tocontainer 50 in a resealing manner so that eachtime cap 20 is removed fromcontainer 50, it may be placed oncontainer 50 again in a sealed manner. - The surface of
cap 20 and/orcontainer 50 can include any suitable gripping textures or portions. The gripping texture or portions may be, for example, a rough surface or dimple grips and may have a shape such as a circle, square, rectangle, triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, hexagon, heptagon, octagon, nonagon, decagon, hexadecagon, icosagon, star, ellipse, semicircle, crescent, flower, or combinations thereof. -
Packaging 10 can include any indicia or instructions printed on a surface ofcap 20 and/orcontainer 50. The indicia may include, for example, colors, numbers, letters, logos, advertisements, branding information, nutritional information, product information, manufacturer information, etc. The indicia may be printed on a pressure sensitive material, printed directly oncap 20 and/orcontainer 50, printed on a removable closure, attached as a sticker, etc. The indicia may be placed oncap 20 and/orcontainer 50 by a method such as embossing, debossing, printing, engraving, a sticker, or combinations thereof. The instructions can depict or describe, for example, how to serve or administer the contents ofpackaging 10. -
Cap 20 andcontainer 50 can be made from any suitable materials such as polymers, plastics or other synthetic materials. For example,cap 20 and/orcontainer 50 can be made from a polyethylene material such as linear low density polyethylene or a suitable polypropylene. In a preferred embodiment,cap 20 and/orcontainer 50 is made from polyethylene terephthalate. -
Cap 20 and/orcontainer 50 may be formed using conventional thermoforming or molding processes including, but not limited to, injection molding, injection blow molding and extrusion blow molding. Alternatively,cap 20 and/orcontainer 50 may be manufactured from non-plastic materials including, but not limited to, cardboard, metal, styrofoam, etc. - In alternative embodiments, any suitable portion of
cap 20 and/orcontainer 50 can be either transparent or translucent so that a consumer can readily discern what types of products are housed inpackaging 10. Alternatively, at least a portion ofcap 20 and/orcontainer 50 may be opaque.Cap 20 may be manufactured from a same or different material ascontainer 50 and may be translucent whilecontainer 50 is opaque, or vice versa. - In an embodiment, packaging 10 includes a nutritional product such as an infant cereal product stored therein. The nutritional product or infant cereal product, for example, can include any suitable ingredients such as a starch source and/or a protein source. Suitable starch sources are, for example, grains such as corn, rice, wheat, beets, barley, oats, soy, and mixtures of these. Suitable protein sources may be selected from any suitable animal or vegetable protein source including, for example, meat meal, bone meal, fish meal, soy protein concentrates, milk proteins, gluten, and the like. The choice of the starch and protein sources will be largely determined by the nutritional needs of the infant, palatability considerations, and the type of cereal product produced. Various other ingredients, for example, sugar, salt, spices, seasonings, vitamins, minerals, flavoring agents, fats and the like may also be incorporated into the infant cereal product as desired.
- The nutritional product or infant cereal product can include fat sources such as canola oil, corn oil, palm olein, high oleic sunflower oil and high oleic safflower oil. The essential fatty acids linoleic and α-linolenic acid may also be added as may small amounts of oils containing high quantities of preformed arachidonic acid and docosahexaenoic acid such as fish oils or microbial oils.
- The nutritional product or infant cereal product can further include a suitable carbohydrate such as, for example, sucrose, lactose, glucose, fructose, corn syrup solids, saccharose, maltodextrins, starch and mixtures thereof Dietary fiber may also be added if desired. Dietary fiber passes through the small intestine undigested by enzymes and functions as a natural bulking agent and laxative. Dietary fiber may be soluble or insoluble or a blend of the two types. Suitable sources of dietary fiber include soy, pea, oat, pectin, guar gum, gum arabic, fructooligosaccharides and galacto-oligosaccharides.
- The nutritional product or infant cereal product can also include minerals and micronutrients such as trace elements and vitamins. Examples of minerals, vitamins and other micronutrients optionally present in the nutritional compositions include vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin E, vitamin K, vitamin C, vitamin D, folic acid, inositol, niacin, biotin, pantothenic acid, choline, calcium, phosphorous, iodine, iron, magnesium, copper, zinc, manganese, chloride, potassium, sodium, selenium, chromium, molybdenum, taurine, and L-carnitine. Minerals are usually added in salt form.
