Abstract

See full text

A composite container for storing product in a hermetically-sealed volume includes a fitment that forms one end of the container. The fitment has an outer face, an inner face, a perimeter edge with an attachment surface formed therein, and an aperture between the outer face and the inner face with an aperture mount configured to receive and secure a closure for sealing the aperture of the container. The fitment also includes a sealing surface on the inner face that surrounds the aperture, and a products pouch with a pouch opening that is sealed to the sealing surface. The fitment further includes a can having a first end that is coupled to the attachment surface of the fitment and a substantially-rigid tubular body extending away from the fitment to form an interior volume that surrounds the products pouch.
