LID WITH TUBE REINFORCED SKIRT

摘要

A lid for a container is disclosed. The lid has a paperboard tube that surrounds a plastic resin skirt. The skirt is attached to the perimeter of a central panel, which may also be formed of paperboard. The tube may have a projecting portion that is deformed toward the central panel. The tube provides an outwardly facing surface for the display of high quality graphics. A method of making the lid is also disclosed. The method includes placing the tube within a mold and injecting plastic resin into the mold to form the skirt. The central panel may also be placed in the mold prior to molding. Engagement of the mold with the tube may be used to deform the projecting portion of the tube.
