END CAP FOR PRODUCT CONTAINER

摘要

An end cap (100) is insertable into an open end of a sleeve (12) as an end closure for forming a package (10). The end cap (100) has a housing (102) that is adapted to be closely received by the sleeve (12) and that terminates at a first end in a flanged perimeter (104). The end cap (100) also has a strut structure (120) extending between regions of the housing (100) so as to reinforce the housing (100) against deformation. The strut structure (120) may extend between regions of the housing (102) proximate the flanged perimeter (104). The strut structure (120) may take the form of a cover that is affixed to the flanged perimeter (104) of the housing (102). The cover (120) may have a perimeter (124) with an interior portion (122) extending therebetween. The perimeter (124) of the cover may be affixed to the flanged perimeter (104) of the housing (102).
