Abstract:
A container having an opening sealed with a polymeric film, the container being formed from a pulpable, fibrous material, and less than about 50% of the surface area of the polymeric film being is contact with the container, a method of making such a container, and a method of packaging an article of commerce (e.g., fruit) in said container.

Claim (Index 14):
A method of making a sealed container, said method comprising placing a polymeric film over an opening of a container which is formed from a pulpable, fibrous material, the container being suitable for packaging fruit, vegetables and fungi, and sealing the opening with the polymeric film by the application of heat and/or pressure to the polymer film and/or container, whereby less than 50% of the surface area of the polymeric film is in contact with the container, the container having a rim about the opening, wherein the rim comprises a flange extending outwards from, and about, the perimeter of the opening, and a seal formed between the polymer film and the flange, and wherein the seal formed between the polymeric film and the flange is the only point of contact between the polymeric film and the container, wherein at least a portion of the polymeric film melts upon the application of said heat and/or pressure, thereby bonding the polymer film directly to the fibres of the container, wherein the seal between the polymeric film and the container is achieved without the need for an adhesive, and wherein the polymeric film has a thickness of from 5 \u03bcm to 50 \u03bcm.
