ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A low-cost, full-function container includes a tubular convolute, spiral-wound, continuously formed, or die-cut formed paperboard or composite material structure of various geometric shapes to enclose a thin-walled vessel of material constituting a barrier for enclosing and protecting a product, the structure having sufficient thickness and rigidity for supporting and protecting at least the enclosed sides as well as the bottom of the vessel. The vessel material wall thickness is inadequate for permitting the vessel conventionally to serve alone as a container for the product and to withstand the stresses of processing, filling, merchandising, distribution, storage and handling. A closure for the vessel at its upper end seals the product hermetically or atmospherically with the product being protected from the air, other gases, moisture and light. The material for the vessel is of such thinness that it alone would be unable to withstand such stresses. The material is selected from one of various resins and polymers having minimum required barrier characteristics against water vapor, oxygen and/or gas permeation, as dependent upon the product to be contained. Metal or glass may be also used for the vessel. The vessel may be formed in situ within the structure. Various interrelationships between the vessel and structure enhance package integrity and strength. One such arrangement provides for a tamper proof container. The container achieves lowest possible cost of materials, maximizing the functional characteristics of the materials used and minimizing the amount or thickness used, thereby effectively producing a significantly lower cost rigid or semi-rigid package. A variety of materials including carbonated beverages and other perishable liquids and foods may be packaged in the container.
