<p>A container, which may be frustoconical in shape, comprises a main body frame 2 forming a support for a main body of the container and a skin 10, attached to the main body frame (which may be a fused connection) forming the main body of the container; the same skin also forms a closure 16 of the container. The container may comprise a closure frame attached to and supporting the skin forming the closure, this closure frame may be attached or separate from the main body frame 2, and may be attached to the main body frame via a hinged connection. Portions of the main body frame and/or closure frame may have different rigidity, and may be hinged. The main body frame may define one or more container compartments and/or provides support for one or more main body compartments. The compartments may extend to the container closure so that the container defines two or more openings, for which the skin may provide closures. A utensil may be attached to the main frame and configured to be located wither inside or outside the main body. A method of forming the container is also disclosed following the steps of attaching a skin to a main body frame with the skin also forming a closure for the container.</p> |
