An apparatus for applying a lid () to a support () containing a product. The apparatus () comprises a supporting element (), having a contact portion (), and a closing element (), having a fixing portion (), which are movable between a home position and a working position, in which the closing element () is partly inserted into the seat () having one or more lateral surfaces () defining the contact portion (). When the two elements (), () are in the working position, the fixing portion () is in the seat () and the two portions (), () are coupled for clamping a part of the lid () and a part of at least one lateral wall (). The fixing portion () is configured to fix the part of the lid () and the part of the lateral wall () which are clamped.

Apparatus for applying a lid to a support containing a product

A paper-industry article for making an outer skeleton () of a container () which also includes an inner layer () of thermoplastic material and which has a bottom wall (), a plurality of lateral walls () and an annular perimetric flange (), the outer skeleton () extending at the perimetric flange (), at the lateral walls (), at the bottom wall (), wherein the paper-industry article () includes a continuous annular frame () intended to constitute the outer skeleton () of the container () at the perimetric flange () of the container (), and a plurality of wings () which extend starting from the continuous annular frame (), each of the wings () being intended to constitute the outer skeleton () at one of the lateral walls () of the container (), and at least one of the wings () also being intended to constitute the outer skeleton () also at the bottom wall () of the container ().

Method for making a container comprising an outer skeleton and an inner layer of thermoplastic material, related container and paper-industry article used in the method

A paperboard article () for making a container () comprises an annular frame (), which surrounds an internal zone (), and a plurality of wings () connected to the annular frame (). Each wing () comprises a first portion () and a second portion (), wherein the second portion () is connected to the annular frame () and is interposed between the annular frame () and the first portion (). The paperboard article () is configured to adopt a flat configuration and an expanded configuration. In the flat configuration, the paperboard article () has a substantially planar shape and the wings () are coplanar without overlapping each other. In the expanded configuration, the paperboard article () has a substantially tray-like shape, wherein the annular frame () forms an annular flange (), the first portions () of the wings () form a bottom wall () and the second portions () of the wings () form lateral walls (). For at least one pair of wings (), the first portion () of a first wing has a seat () and the first portion () of a second wing has a projection () that is housed in the seat () of the first wing: in the expanded configuration, an edge section () of the projection () makes contact with an edge section () of the seat ().
