Abstract

A container (10) for protectively encapsulating a product, such as a perishable food product, during shipment and display. The container includes a tubular body (11) constructed of a composite sheet material and defining a receptacle for receiving the food product. An outer surface of the body defines an edge surrounding an entrance of the receptacle. An end closure (15,16) abuts the edge of the tubular body so as to extend over the entrance. Extending over the end closure and the outer surface of the body is a film sleeve (17) that serves to secure the end closure to the body. An adhesive can be used to seal the film sleeve to the end closure and body so as to hermetically seal a juncture (18) between the end closure and the body. A score line (124) on the film sleeve (17) facilitates opening of the container while extending only partially through the film sleeve to preserve its barrier properties.
