A method of making a texture-coated and/or insulation coated container
from a flat paperboard blank in which a heat-hardenable liquid polymeric
binder texturizing and/or insulating agent coating mixture is applied to
one surface of the blank in a pattern of covered and open areas. This
coating mixture is subjected to heat to cure the polymeric binder and
expand the texturizing and/or insulating agent, optionally treated with
moisture, and optionally heated to form the blank into the shape of a
container, and the container produced by this method. The containers such
as cups, plates, etc., are useful in food service. These containers have
a coefficient of static friction which is about 0.2 to 2.0 and over and a
kinetic coefficient of friction which is about 0.22 to 1.5.
