A PAPERBOARD CONTAINER HAVING ENHANCED GREASE RESISTANCE ANDRIGIDITY AND A METHOD OF MAKING SAME

摘要

The invention is directed to a container press-formed of paperboard having a top surface that is substantially free of clay coating and that is disposed for contact with material to be contained and an opposed bottom surface, the container comprising a first functional coating material such as a latex dispersed in the paperboard forming a grease resistant surface. The invention also encompasses a method of manufacturing the press-formed paperboard container comprising before the container is press-formed the step of applyi ng to the top surface of the paperboard that is substantially free of clay coating a first functional coating sufficient to form a grease resistant surface.
