Abstract:
A substantially paper-based composite container for an off-gassing product includes a paperboard can body having a substantially gas-impervious liner attached to an inner surface thereof, and a pair of substantially paper-based end closures attached to the opposite ends of the can body, each end closure defining a generally cylindrical sealing panel in contact with an inner surface of the can body. Heat-sealable materials are disposed on opposing surfaces of the sealing panel and can body. The sealing panels of the end closures are attached to the can body by heat seals. The heat seal for at least one of the end closures is discontinuous such that at least one vent channel extends through the heat seal so as to establish fluid communication between an interior of the composite container and the environment outside the composite container. The at least one vent channel is operable to vent excess gas pressure from the interior of the container.

Claim (Index 24):
A method for using the tool of  claim 15 , comprising:\n providing the sealing chuck is in its contracted position; placing the lower surface of the sealing chuck adjacent the top surface of a central portion of the end closure; causing the sealing chuck to push the central portion of the end closure into the end of the can body; receiving the end of the can body inside the central opening of the support ring, between the inner surface of the support ring and the outer surface of the sealing chuck; moving the chuck segments radially outwardly in unison such that the end closure and the end of the can body are compressed between the expanded chuck and the support ring; and heating the sealing chuck and the support ring to cause softening or melting of heat-sealable materials disposed on the can body and end closure.
