An ovenable cooking apparatus for facilitating the cooking of food components while maintaining the separateness thereof may include a first container for holding a first food component, and a second container for holding a second food component. The separation of the first food component from the second food component maintains the surface area for the first and second food components to facilitate heating of the first and second food components. The first food component may have a liquid based content for producing steam when heated, and one or both of the first container and the second container may define a passage for providing airflow and steam flow for contacting the second container and/or the second foodstuff and heating or steaming the second food component. Additionally, the second container may be steam impermeable for cooking bread and the like.

A container including a containment wall, defining an internal containment volume and including a free edge, a closing element including a welding layer welded onto the free edge of the wall and a front layer defining an outer surface of the container. An intermediate layer of removable self-adhesive is spread onto an adhesion portion of mutually coupled surfaces of the welding layer and front layer. An opening line adapted to define an access window is obtained through an incision in a stretch of thickness of the welding layer splitting the welding layer into a welding portion adapted to be welded to the container and an opening portion corresponding to the access window, with reference to an assembled configuration on the container. The incision is made to allow the detachment of the opening portion from the welding portion while the closing element is opened.

Methods and systems for packaging a plurality of objects are disclosed. The system includes a base tray having a first end and a second end, an object reservoir positioned at the first end, a dispensing guide positioned at the second end, and a column guide disposed between the reservoir and the dispensing guide. The column guide is configured to convey objects from the reservoir to the dispensing guide using gravitational forces via a plurality of longitudinally extending guiding columns. A tilt tray having a front edge and a back edge is positioned above the column guide. The tilt tray has a front edge and a back edge, and is anchored to pivot between a forward-engaged position and a backward-engaged position. When the tilt tray is in the backward-engaged position, the back edge is positioned to prevent object movement along the column guide, while the front edge is positioned to allow object movement along the column guide and into the dispensing guide. When the tilt tray is in the forward-engaged position, the front edge is positioned to prevent object movement along the column guide and into the dispensing guide, while the back edge is positioned to allow objects to pass underneath the back edge. The system is sized and configured for packaging golf balls in interchangeable object containers.

The present invention generally relates to liquid, beverage, and/or dietary supplement dispensers. Specifically, embodiments of the present invention are configured to provide a liquid or beverage dispenser that allows for convenient shipping and storage of a liquid, beverage, dietary supplement, dietary supplement mixture or beverage mixture while also providing for safe storage and shipping of one or more dispenser bottles, serving vessels, or similar liquid holding vessels to be used in conjunction with the liquid, beverage, or dietary supplement contained in the dispenser.

A medical sterile packaging unit for a sterile-packaged medical product, in particular for a filter module, including a primary packaging with at least one sterile-packaged and hermetically sealed medical product inside it, at least one nestable tray, with a plurality of inserts for each of the medical products packaged in the primary packaging, and at least one sleeve which wraps around the at least one tray with the primary-packaged medical products contained in it.

The package includes a plurality of food packages (16) continuing fresh meat food products (17). Each food package is vacuum packaged in a case ready package with a permeable film. The case ready package being sealed within a master pouch (12) having a modified atmosphere. The modified atmosphere having an elevated concentration of carbon monoxide. The fresh meat (17) being in the case ready package and not in direct contact with the modified atmosphere. The fresh meat (17) retaining acceptable color within the case ready package after being removed from the master pouch.

A foldable bag comprises a front sheet and a back sheet which are circumferentially joined to each other. The bag is disposed in a folded condition in which the bag has a reversed T-shape including a bottom and an upward portion extending upwardly from the bottom. In the folded condition of the bag, upward portion side edges are inwardly creased between the front sheet and the back sheet such that they face to each other. At the bottom, an inner bottom edge portion extends substantially within a plane of the upward portion and each of outer bottom edge portions extend substantially parallel above the inner bottom edge portion.

A molded plastic tray adapted to receive a plastic overwrap film for preservation, secure handling and display of a perishable food product in the wrapped tray, such as fresh fruit or vegetables. The tray has a pair of central ribbing elements extending from opposing longitudinal side walls and into the bottom wall and is designed to provide structural rigidity that resists warping and collapse, thus enabling the overwrapped tray to be handled, shipped, and displayed with minimal leakage while preserving the food product therein. The tray is easy to manufacture and provides a lightweight and cost effective packaging product. The tray has a rectangular shape that provides for consistent wrapping strength and can be handled on standard processing equipment.

A packaging system for goods, having a box (1) for holding the goods, the box having four side walls (11a-d), a front face (12) and a rear face (16); the front face has a wall provided with a window (15); the rear face has an opening; the packaging system further has either (i) a plastic film (6) wrapped around the box, the plastic film covering the front face and the rear face of the box and thereby retaining the goods within the box; or (ii) at least one band placed around the box, the at least one band being placed around the box so as to encircle the front face and the rear face of the box and thereby retain the goods within the box; and the opening in the rear face is configured to allow the goods to be pushed out of the box through the opening when the box is resting on one of its side walls and after the plastic film or the at least one band has been removed.

A container comprises a substantially rigid outer container and a readily deformable inner bag, wherein the outer container and the inner bag consist of different thermoplastic plastic materials such that the outer container and the inner bag do not undergo a weld connection with one another, with a container opening and at least one pressure balancing opening in the wall of the outer container for balancing the pressure in the gap between the outer container and the inner bag when the inner bag contracts, wherein integrated into the layer of the inner bag, which is directed towards the outer container, and/or into the layer of the outer container, which is directed towards the inner bag, are microbodies, of a material which does not melt during the manufacture of the container, which produce irregularities on the surface of the layer(s) in which microbodies are imbedded.
