A novel ice cream product container with complementary closure member is disclosed. The container body member is usually of paperboard and formed from an integral blank comprising edge-reinforcing flaps articulated to wall members, which reinforcing flaps are then folded down upon and secured to their respective wall members to provide a reinforced portion of double thickness in the container formed from the blank. This folded-over, reinforced portion is also present in the flat-folded tube produced from the blank, the squared-up tube, the erected container, and finally in the closed and filled package. This folded-over, reinforced portion of double thickness contains defined areas of low resistance adapted to receive lugs formed in a wall of the complementary closure member. The closure member also provides a complementary channel between essentially upstanding and downstanding walls for receiving the reinforced portion of the container walls in frictional engagement therewith. The defined areas of low resistance in the upper edge areas of the container walls may be provided by cuts or cut-outs, preferably of a generally inverted-V shape, and the corresponding lugs formed in the complementary closure member are complementarily shaped to provide excellent releasable securement of the closure member to the container walls. The combination of the container and complementary closure member, method of closing the container with the complementary closure member, and method of packaging ice cream product therein are also disclosed and form a part of the invention.

A method of packaging ice cream product comprising the steps of filling semi-solid ice cream product into a tubular container formed from an integral blank which is cut and scored to provide a tubular container comprising substantially rectangular rear, side, and front wall members, a glue flap articulated along a score to one of said container wall members and adhered to an adjacent container wall member, bottom-forming flaps articulated to each of said wall members along scores at one end of said blank, and edge-reinforcing flaps articulated to each of said container rear, side, and front wall members at the other end of said blank having areas of low resistance defined therein and being folded over and adhered to said adjacent wall members to which said flaps are articulated, thereby to form a folded-over, reinforced portion of double thickness at that end of the tubular container erected from said blank, with said areas of low resistance being present in the inner exposed surface of folded-over edge-reinforced portions of the walls of said container, having its wall members connected by means of said glue flap, having its bottom-forming flaps outwardly extending in an unfolded and non-secured position, and having its reinforced end closed by a closure member comprising: an upstanding tubular inner wall conforming to the inner surfaces of the walls of the container, and a downstanding tubular outer wall connected thereto by a bight and conforming to the outer surfaces of the walls of the container, said inner and outer walls and said bight forming a tubular channel in which said upstanding walls of said tubular container are seated in frictional engagement, a centrally-located upwardly-elevated dome portion, defined by an upstanding dome-forming wall which is inwardly spaced from the said upstanding tubular inner wall of said closure member, the said two upstanding walls of said closure member defining a tubular valley therebetween, and lugs formed in said upstanding tubular inner wall, said lugs complementarily extending into said areas of low resistance in the inner exposed surface of the walls of said container at the end thereof closed by the closure member, for releasably securing said container closure member to said tubular container walls, closing the bottom-forming flaps on the open end of said container and adhering them to each other, and subjecting the package to hardening at a temperature below about zero degrees centigrade to solidify the semi-solid ice cream product.
