Zusammenfassung:The invention relates to packaging of powder products. Known containers have various drawbacks, including weight and difficulty in recycling of materials. The present invention seeks to provide a packaging (1) for a powdered material comprising a tub (17) for receiving the material, the tub for receiving the material, the tub having a base (5) and a peripheral wall (7) with a top edge (6); an outer sleeve (18) around at least the peripheral wall of the tube, thereby supporting the tub; a removable membrane (11) for separating the powdered material in the tub from the environment; and a lid assembly (9) comprising a peripheral rim (3) for connection over the top edge (6) of the peripheral wall of the tub and defining a wide access opening (8) and a lid (4), hingedly attached to the rim (3) for reclosing the access opening. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method of manufacturing such a package for a powdered material, comprising sliding the tub in the sleeve, such that at least the peripheral wall of the tub is enclosed by the sleeve, whereby sleeve supports the tub and the tub and sleeve form a container for the powdered material.
