Claim 0:
1. A method of forming a folded package having an interior cavity at least partially defined by a circumferential distal rim of a distal end of a paper cone comprising:
orienting the paper cone having a proximal end and the distal end in axial alignment with a folding tip such that the distal end of the paper cone is closer to the folding tip than the proximal end, the paper cone further comprising a structure that permits air to flow into the interior cavity through the distal end and out through the proximal end;
applying vacuum pressure to the paper cone;
using the folding tip to apply a force to the distal end to press the folding tip and distal end together to fold the distal rim of the distal end of the paper cone into the interior cavity.
