A flavor dispenser adapted to be attached to the top of a beverage container, for example a beer can, is provided. The flavor dispenser includes one or more easily fillable flavor containers, and passages that allow the one or more flavorings to be mixed with the beverage by the user and discarded with the beverage container.

A sanitary tissue package comprising a bundle of folded sanitary tissues stacked in a pop-up type and a film overwrap-wrapping the bundle of the folded sanitary tissues, where the sanitary tissue package is excellent in sanitary tissue take-out property and prevention of falling.

A food or beverage container having a body portion or an end portion that includes a metal substrate with a coating composition disposed thereon. The coating composition includes a water-dispersible acrylic linear block copolymer made by surfactant-free heterogeneous radical polymerization (“SFHRP”). The block copolymer imparts a desirable combination of flexibility and corrosion resistance to the coating composition, and the substantial absence of surfactants during polymerization contributes to other desirable properties including good blush resistance.

There is provided an infusion port for a beverage can and more specifically, an infusion port that is integrated within a beverage can end and a method of infusion.

A tamper evident feature for a container is provided. The tamper evident feature may include a locking tab connected to a wall panel or cover panel of the container and a receiving slot provided on the opposing cover panel or wall panel of the container. The locking tab may include an outer terminal edge and a slit extending laterally across the locking tab. The slit may provide a cut edge extending partially across an intermediate portion of the locking tab and allow for a tab end portion to bend relative to the remainder of the locking tab. The receiving slot may include a receiving slit defined into the cover panel of the container and configured to receive the locking tab. The receiving slit may provide a receiving edge that engages with the cut edge of the locking tab to secure the cover panel in a closed position.

A container has a head piece (7). The container can be or is filled with a medium and is produced of plastic materials using a blow molding, filling, and sealing method. A transition region (13) is between the container (1) and a first type of a head surface (11) arranged on the head piece (7) at an end face, can be penetrated by a piercing or cutting part and extends with a specifiable curvature. A second type of a head surface (41) has a specifiable curvature, which is the same as the curvature of the head surface (39) of the first type, but preferably is different from it and is present on the head piece (7). The head surfaces transition into each other such that a whole surface is formed, which whole surface spans the free end of the transition region (13) directed away from the container (1). The head piece (7) is an integral component of the container (1).

The invention relates to a hygienic protective membrane (2) for a drink can (12) provided with a lid (14) with a circular edge (16) and a ring suitable to form an orifice in a detachable zone of said lid, the membrane (2) comprising a first and a second film (6) superimposed and adhered to each other, said membrane (2) being configured to be disposed with the first film adhered to the lid (14), the second film (6) being separable from the first in order to give access to the orifice of the lid. The membrane has a central portion (8) generally circular suitable to cover the lid (14) and a lateral portion (10) forming a strip from the circular portion and adapted to cover the edge of said lid.

A tamper evident feature for a container is provided. The tamper evident feature may include a locking tab connected to a wall panel of the container and a receiving slot provided on a cover panel of the container. The locking tab may include a locking end portion with an outer terminal edge and a slit extending laterally across the locking tab. The slit may provide a cut edge extending partially across an intermediate portion of the locking tab and allow for a tab end portion to bend relative to the remainder of the locking tab. The receiving slot may include a receiving slit defined into the cover panel of the container and configured to receive the locking end portion of the locking tab. The receiving slit may provide a receiving edge that engages with the cut edge of the locking tab to secure the cover panel in a closed position.

A method for producing a liquid-conducting device made of aluminum including a functional surface made of anodized aluminum. A surface of a strip- or layer-shaped aluminum sheet is provided with a masking during a masking phase for producing a processing on the surface of the aluminum sheet and in its structure. The aluminum sheet is processed in an electrolytic process for realizing a functional surface, which is provided with an aluminum oxide layer, on the processing surface, a body surface of the liquid-conducting device, which includes at least one processing surface or one functional surface, being sized as a component of the aluminum sheet during a sizing phase, the liquid-conducting device being separated from the strip- or layer-shaped aluminum sheet during a separating phase.

The present invention is directed to containers and packaging that incorporate novel tamper evident features. In particular, the containers of the present invention comprise newly designed tamper evident linkages, i.e., wedged fracture tabs. In addition, the present invention provides novel methods of improving tamper security of packages or containers by incorporating distinguishing printed graphics on the tamper evident component (e.g., frangible hinge, frangible tear strip, or wedged fracture tabs) of the present invention.
