  • the patent CA2133479 is known, where a cup for juice and wine is presented, which has a two-layer cover, between which a wafer is placed.
  • both layers are torn off in turn, the second layer of which is intended for a wafer. Therefore, a two-layer cover has a different purpose.
  • the patent EP1559658 is known, which describes a container which has a two-layer cover, the upper cover of which is continuous, while the lower cover has perforated strips intended to be torn off prior to the consumption. The removal of the strips is intended for the steam discharge during the heating and removal of the product, however, it is not designed for a comfortable consumption of the product.
  • This invention relates to a round container for a liquid or thick product. It is better when the product is a soup, especially a thick soup.
  • the container is covered with a double cover which consists of the upper cover and the lower cover. Before the consumption, the upper cover is torn off while the lower cover, which has a hole in a shape of an elongated oval, through which the product is consumed, is left untouched.
  • the invention provides a container with a double cover designed for a liquid or thick product, preferably a soup, which is intended for the distribution in supermarkets and is very comfortable to use.

  • the soups presented in this invention are not limited to the examples. Soups are produced industrially with appropriate ingredients according to the chosen type.
  • this invention presents the method of the production of the container, which has a double cover, where the double cover is attached to the edge of the container by the hot stamping method.
  • the presented container ( Fig. 1 ) consists of a round body (1) and a double cover (2).
  • the diameter of the container is 65-95 mm, volume 200-400 ml.
  • the container (1) can be produced from various plastic materials. According to this invention, the container (1) can be heated up to 130°C, therefore it is made from heat-resistant material.
  • the plastic packaging preferably of polypropylene (PP), is suitable for the production of the container.
  • the container is put into carton case/label, which allows to hold the container in hands after its heating.
  • the double cover of the container is attached to the edge of the container by the hot stamping method. The cover can be used for tight covering of various liquid and thick foods.
  • the cover of the container consists of the upper cover (2a) and the lower cover (2b) ( Fig. 2 ), where the aforementioned double cover is attached to the edge of the container (1) in such a way that the upper cover (2a) is easily torn off from the edge of the container and the lower cover (2b) remains to cover the container.
