<p>A fruit juice container from which the juice can be drunk comprises a laminated plastics pot with a lid peripherally welded to it. The lid (2) consisting of a high-barrier laminated diaphragm (10) having a drinking hole (12) and vent (14), with a high-barrier laminated peel strip (16) covering these holes and peelably heat sealed to at least part of the diaphragm. The peel strip is removed by gripping a pull tab (18) formed from a folded part of the peel strip, and peeling the strip away. The lids of successive containers are built up in strip form in a machine which forms the holes and the pull tab and heat seals the peel strip and diaphragm materials together before the lids are punched out.</p> |
