ABSTRACT:
A substantially paper container has a top end closure adapted to be removed for opening the container and repositioned for closing the container. The container includes a tubular body of substantially paper material, a cup-shaped end closure of substantially paper material and a cup-shaped membrane having an outer upwardly-extending rim portion of substantially the same height as an upwardly-extending rim portion of the cup-shaped end closure. The membrane and end closure are positioned in an open upper end portion of the body in superimposed relationship with the membrane below the end closure. An upper area of the upper end portion of the body extends above the superimposed rim portions of the membrane and the end closure and is folded inwardly over and around the upper ends of the superimposed rim portions. Bonds, preferably heat-sealed bonds, are formed between an outside surface of the membrane rim portion and an inside surface of the body and between an inside surface of the end closure rim portion and the inside surface of the folded-over upper end of the body. A cut extends circumferentially of the upper end portion of the body and extends inwardly through the body and the membrane rim portion, but not through the end closure rim portion, so that the end closure with the folded-over body upper end portion and the membrane rim portion, which are above the cut, can be removed from and replaced in the body upper end portion.
