A container constructed from a laminate structure that includes a layer of foamed polymer. The layer of foamed polymer replaces the paperboard layer of known laminate structures. A preferred embodiment of the laminate structure is comprised of a layer of foamed polymer, a first layer of low density polyethylene, a second layer of low density polyethylene, a layer of aluminum foil, a tie layer, and a third layer of low density polyethylene. The container has a non-polar homogeneous heat seal that may be created by conventional equipment at a temperature ranging from about 250 degrees Fahrenheit to about 500 degrees Fahrenheit.
