WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/047891
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Packaging (10) includes a container (12), a bag (14) disposed in an interior cavity (36) of the outer container, and a quantity of powdered beverage (16) in an interior space of the bag. The container may be sized and shaped to be held in a hand of a person. The container may have an interior surface that tapers toward a throat portion. The throat portion is suitable for retaining the bag of powdered beverage in the container. The container may be particularly suitable for use with a high fat nutritional powdered beverage, as this type of beverage may be readily malleable or conformable to the container in which it is received. The container may have a shape that facilitates gripping of the container by a user. The container may have a sidewall that is resiliently deformable when the sidewall (26) is subjected to a force applied in a radially inward direction.
