A tamper-resistant air-permeable container includes a cover having a bottom that is formed with a first wall having primary troughs and primary blocks and formed with a retaining engagement portion; and a box including a receiving space and having a second wall that is provided with a first step part lower than the second wall and a second step part lower than the first step part to define forming therebetween a retaining engagement groove. The second wall is formed with secondary troughs, each including a curved section, such that each of the secondary troughs has a curved configuration. When the cover is combined with the box, the retaining engagement portions of the cover are fit into and retained in the retaining engagement groove. The primary troughs and the secondary troughs form passages in communication with the receiving space.

A container security system includes a container chassis and a closure subsystem coupled to the container chassis. The closure subsystem includes a closure chassis that prevents movement of a material between a container volume and an exterior of the container chassis via an aperture defined by the container chassis. The closure subsystem includes a closure security sensor that generates a closure sensor signal when the closure chassis experiences a tamper event. A first type communication interface is housed in the closure chassis and a security engine provided by the closure subsystem receives a sensor signal indicating that the closure chassis has experienced the tamper event. The security engine then provides, in response to receiving the sensor signal and using the first type communication interface, a notification to a corresponding first type communication interface that the closure chassis has experienced the tamper event.

A locking device includes a lock body, a hasp and a seal. The lock body includes a hasp locking latch pivotally disposed therein and a seal locking latch pivotally disposed therein. The hasp is disposed at the lock body and movable between an open state, where a free end of the hasp is external the lock body, and a closed state, where the free end of the hasp is within the lock body. The seal, when inserted into the lock body when the hasp is in its closed state, engages the hasp locking latch to pivot the hasp locking latch to engage and lock the hasp in its closed state, and the seal, when inserted into the lock body, engages the seal locking latch to lock the seal within the lock body. The seal includes a frangible portion that is configured to break the seal into first and second portions.

An apparatus and a method are provided for a container cap comprising a plurality of tamper evidence bridges configured to provide evidence that the container cap has been removed from a container by other than a manufacturer of the container. The tamper evidence bridges comprise a small tab of material that extends from a bottom-most edge of the container cap to a neck ring of the container. The tamper evidence bridges are configured to break, or snap, when the container cap is rotated relative to the neck ring. Broken tamper evidence bridges provide readily visible evidence to an end-user of the container that the container cap has been removed by other than the manufacturer of the container. The high visibility of the tamper evidence bridges serves to discourage vendors from attempting to refill and resale of the used containers.

The present disclosure relates to a two-side adherable high-frequency induction heating container sealing member, the sealing member comprising: an upper layer that comprises a first thermal-adhesion sealing layer, a first aluminum foil layer, an intermediate base layer, a synthetic resin layer having tensile strength and hardness, and a first thermal-adhesion resin layer, which are successively formed from the top to the bottom, the upper layer having a preformed opening guide cut line-provided opening tab, a preformed opening guide cut strip, and a preformed thermal-adhesion sealing strip; and a lower layer that is formed beneath the upper layer and comprises a second aluminum foil layer and a second thermal-adhesion sealing layer, which are successively formed from the top to the bottom, wherein the first thermal-adhesion resin layer of the upper layer is integrated with the second aluminum foil layer of the lower layer through thermal adhesion.

Tamper-evident features for containers. A tamper-evident film is target printed onto a sheet material that is thermoformable. The sheet is thermoformed into a container base or lid having a desired shape, such that the tamper-evident film is positioned in a desired area. A container lid is disposed on the container base, and heat sealed to a rim or edge of the container base. The heat sealing activates an adhesive of the tamper-evident film, and when the container lid is removed or separated from the container base, a first portion of the tamper-evident film remains on the container lid and a second portion remains on the container base. The separation of the tamper-evident film provides an indication of tampering.

An apparatus and a method to be used for secured shipment of goods while monitoring location and status with one or more sensors embedded in the package of the shipment container. The apparatus is operated in sleep mode is used to preserve battery power and is activated to report sensor status by means of a touch sensitive pad or switch. Reporting of sensor status may be done with color code messages of various LED blinking messages and/or by wireless means that may include location.

A tamper-indicating device, the tamper-indicating device including: an elongate structure; a penetrant chamber coupled to the elongate structure; and a physical barrier (or other release mechanism) disposed between the elongate structure and the penetrant chamber; wherein the penetrant chamber is adapted to contain a penetrant material that selectively diffuses into the elongate structure at a predetermined rate when the physical barrier is ruptured (or the other release mechanism is actuated) by a tamper or environmental event; and wherein the penetrant material creates an overt or covert indication of the degree of diffusion into the elongate structure, the degree of diffusion indicating an amount of time since the tamper or environmental event. The tamper-indicating device further includes a substrate coupled to the elongate structure. Optionally, the tamper-indicating device further includes a visible time scale disposed on the substrate substantially adjacent to the elongate structure.

The present disclosure provides devices, systems and methods for monitoring unauthorized access into a container or bottle, and alerting the authorized user, or someone designated by the authorized user, of any unauthorized access.

The invention described herein relates broadly to closure assemblies, and methods of use and manufacture thereof. More particularly, certain embodiments relate to assemblies and methods for closing an opening defined by a spout provided on a flexible container utilising a capping member having a plugging portion and a substantially fracturable retaining skirt. Embodiments provide may an adequate seal for the contents contained within bags against the significant pressure placed upon the closure by the often weighty and voluminous contents of the packaging. Furthermore, the closure may be easily and comfortably removable by a user whilst managing the handling of the bag.
