The container body includes: an inner wall (116) having a first edge and a second edge and an outer wall (118) having a first edge and a second edge, wherein the first edge of the inner wall is connected to the first edge of the outer wall along a longitudinal fold (146). The inner and outer walls extend about a longitudinal axis such that the second edges of the inner and outer walls overlap the longitudinal fold to form a longitudinal seam (152). The double wall structure may provide enhanced strength and gas barrier performance to the paperboard container.

A container (10) is disclosed that includes a wall defining an internal volume and an opening into the internal volume. The wall comprises an internal surface and an external surface. The wall is formed as a layered structure that comprises a first layer (26) positioned proximate the internal surface and a second layer (28) positioned proximate the external surface, wherein the second layer includes major bosses (46) protruding into engagement with the first layer to space the second layer from the first layer. When desired, the second layer may further include minor bosses (48) protruding away from the first layer or toward the first layer.
