A thermoformed container with paperboard outer

A thermoformed plastic inner pot (figure 1, 2), shaped to be disposed within and releasably securable to a paperboard outer (figure 1, 3) by at least one mechanical attachment structure, the plastic inner pot having a bottom wall and at least one sidewall extending generally upwardly from the first bottom wall such that the inner surfaces of the bottom wall and at least one sidewall define an open-topped cavity, wherein the thermoformed plastic inner pot is not thermoformed into the paperboard outer. The mechanical attachment structure may be a plurality of integrally formed structures comprising a support flange 8 extending as a protrusion 7 out from an outer surface of the sidewall, on which a paperboard outer can rest, and the container may also comprise at least one nesting flange 11.
