A sealed composite container is provided having a tubular body member and a liner ply adhered to the inner surface of the tubular body member. An end of the body member and liner ply is rolled outwardly to form a rim and a lid is heat sealed to the rim. A tacky composition is in contact with the rim and the lid and is positioned therebetween. The tacky composition has sufficient tackiness to temporarily hold the lid in place overlying the rim. At least one of the lid and liner ply comprises a seal layer comprising a heat sealable composition. The tacky composition and the heat sealable composition form a heat seal between the lid and the liner ply, the tacky composition being chemically compatible with the heat sealable composition such that a fusion seal is formed therebetween.

1. A sealed composite container for products comprising: a tubular body member comprising at least one paperboard body ply and comprising an inner surface; a liner ply adhered to the inner surface of said tubular body member and comprising a barrier layer, at least one end of said body member and said liner ply being rolled outwardly to form a rim and exposing said liner ply; a lid positioned against said rim, said lid comprising a barrier layer, wherein at least one of said lid and said liner ply further comprises a seal layer comprising a heat sealable composition, said heat sealable composition forming a heat seal between said lid and said liner ply; and a tacky composition in intimate contact with said rim and said lid and operatively positioned therebetween, said tacky composition sufficiently tacky for temporarily holding said lid in place against said rim, said tacky composition further being chemically compatible with said heat sealable composition such that said tacky composition and said heat sealable composition are fusion sealed together. 2. A container according to claim 1, wherein said tacky composition and said heat sealable composition both comprise a polymer material having a non-polar polymer backbone with at least one polar functional group connected thereto. 3. A container according to claim 2, wherein said polar functional group comprises carboxylic acid. 4. A container according to claim 2, wherein said polymer backbone comprises polyethylene. 5. A container according to claim 1, wherein said tacky composition has a melt flow index of about 20 g./10 min. to about 2000 g./10 min. 6. A container according to claim 1, wherein said tacky composition is selected from the group consisting of ethylene/acrylic acid waxes, ethylene/acrylic acid copolymers, ethylene/methacrylic acid polymers, polyvinyl alcohol and mixtures thereof. 7. A container according to claim 1, wherein said seal layer is selected from the group consisting of ionomeric polymers, high density polyethylene, low density polyethylene, ethylene vinyl acetate, ethylene methyl acrylate, metallocene catalyzed polyolefins and mixtures thereof. 8. A container according to claim 1, wherein both of said lid and said liner ply comprise a seal layer. 9. A container according to claim 8, wherein said seal layer of said liner ply is selected from the group consisting of ionomeric polymers, high density polyethylene, low density polyethylene, metallocene catalyzed polyolefins, and mixtures thereof. 10. A container according to claim 8, wherein said seal layer of said lid is selected from the group consisting of ionomeric polymers, ethylene vinyl acetate, high density polyethylene, low density polyethylene, ethylene methyl acrylate, metallocene catalyzed polyolefins and mixtures thereof. 11. A container according to claim 1, wherein said barrier layer of said lid is selected from the group consisting of foil, polyamide, metallized polyamide, polyvinylidiene chloride, polyethylene terephthalate, modified polyethylene terephthalate, metallized polyethylene terephthalate, metallized modified polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene napthalate, metallized polyethylene napthalate, metallized polypropylene, metal oxide and silicate coated polyester, metal oxide and silicate coated polypropylene, ethylene vinyl alcohol and mixtures thereof. 12. A container according to claim 1, wherein said barrier layer of said liner ply is selected from the group consisting of foil, polyamide, metallized polyamide, polyvinylidiene chloride, polyethylene terephthalate, modified polyethylene terephthalate, metallized polyethylene terephthalate, metallized modified polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene napthalate, metallized polyethylene napthalate, metallized polypropylene, metal oxide and silicate coated polyester, metal oxide and silicate coated polypropylene, ethylene vinyl alcohol, and mixtures thereof.
