A layer pad (10) comprises a substantially flat sheet (12) having first and second opposite substantially planar faces (14, 16). The layer pad (10) further includes at least one raised formation (18) on at least one of the faces (14, 16).

A container including a thermoformed tub made of a plastics material and including at least one dosing unit located in the tub interior, which dosing unit includes at least one active ingredient and a water-soluble casing for the active ingredient, the tub having a base and a tub wall that extends from the base. The tub wall has a plurality of projections that are oriented from a datum plane of the tub wall towards the tub interior, a distance between adjacent projections being less than a length and less than a width of the dosing unit. Preferably, the projections have a plurality of parallel ridges.

The present disclosure provides an orienting assembly for orienting one or more beverage containers stored within a secondary package. The orienting assembly includes a base portion having a plurality of container regions and remaining non-container regions. The orienting assembly further a layer of a predetermined material, at least partially, coated onto one or more of the plurality of the container regions such that a coefficient of friction at the coated container region is higher compared to that of non-container regions.

A packaging case comprises a case body including a bottom plate and a peripheral wall surrounding the bottom plate; and a holding member including a contact region and a coupling part, the contact region having a contact surface to be in contact with an article to be housed from above the article to be housed, in case that the article to be housed is provided on a surface of the bottom plate inside the case body, and the coupling part being directly or indirectly connectable to the bottom plate and/or the peripheral wall.

A configurable fluid vessel comprising a flexible bladder (45) having a fluid port (47) through which a fluid such as water can be provided into the bladder (45). The fluid vessel further comprises an internal support frame (43) within the flexible bladder (45) to increase rigidity and preferably an urging means (44) for urging the flexible bladder (45) into a predetermined shape. The fluid vessel is collapsible for storage whilst retaining rigidity when in use. The fluid vessel is particularly suited for use in explosive jet disruptors (40) for tailoring the formation of a fluid jet.

Various embodiments of the present disclosure provide a bin riser positionable between different types of shipping bins to enable these shipping bins to stably stack atop one another in a way that inhibits an adjacent stack of shipping bins from toppling over during transit.

A bottle for adaptive reuse includes a bottle body defining an open interior configured to hold a substance therein. A chamber is formed into the bottle body at least in part by a wall between the open interior and the chamber. The chamber is selectively isolated from the open interior of the bottle. A sealing plate at least partially defines the chamber and an outer surface of the bottle. A threaded structure secures the sealing plate to the bottle body.

A cartridge for storing and transporting fiber-bundle-based preform charges includes a plurality of cells arranged within the housing, wherein each cell is physically adapted to receive a preform charge and prevent it from moving therein as the cartridge is transported. In some embodiments, the cartridge and preform charges it conveys are serialized.

A packaging member for cleaning blades each having a blade main body and a holder part comprises at least one set of packaging member main bodies for supporting, respectively, opposite ends and of the holder parts of the cleaning blades. A first packaging member main body which is one of the set of packaging member main bodies has a plurality of first support parts disposed at predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction of the packaging member main body. The first support parts each support one end portion of the holder part. A second packaging member main body which is the other of the set of packaging member main bodies has a plurality of second support parts disposed at the predetermined intervals along the longitudinal direction of the packaging member main body. The second support parts each support the other end portion of the holder part.
