A thermoplastic film which embodies a three-dimensional pattern. The thermoplastic film comprises a three-dimensional pattern including at least three sub-patterns of deformations. The shape, positioning, and pattern deformation density of the at least three sub-patterns of deformations cause the three-dimensional pattern to give the thermoplastic film a thicker appearance.

Pouches and assemblies for use in sous vide cooking, and associated systems and methods are disclosed. In several embodiments, a sous vide pouch includes a sealable chamber having a sauce for cooking with a food product. The chamber can have a partition that provides a boundary a boundary between a first and second portion of the chamber to receive two food products during a sous vide cooking process. In some embodiments, the sous vide pouch can further include a vacuum valve for removing air from the chamber.

The invention relates to a pharmaceutical product or container closure system containing an overpouch with an intransparent first foil and a transparent second foil, a transparent primary container for holding a transparent liquid, e.g., a pharmaceutical formulation, wherein the transparent primary container is packed within the overpouch and labeled with at least one label and wherein the at least one label acts as a light absorbing segment having a reflection R.sub.L for light in the range of about 350 nm to about 800 nm and an inner surface of the intransparent first foil of the overpouch acts as a light reflecting background having a reflection R.sub.F for light in the direction of the primary container in the range of about 350 nm to about 800 nm with R.sub.F≠R.sub.L. By the transparent second foil and the inventive reflection properties it is achieved that the at least one label on the primary container is visible and readable. Additionally, visual inspection of the content of the transparent primary container is possible. A good contrast is achieved to enhance machine and human readability.

A closure clip for maintaining a bag closed is provided. The clip includes a planar body having a symmetry axis. The planar body defines a rear portion having a frontward border, a rearward border and lateral borders, a pair of shoulders, each extending outwardly and along one of the lateral borders and a pair of tabs projecting from the frontward border frontwardly and towards the symmetry axis, the tabs having free front extremities curving towards each other, the tabs and a portion of the frontward border delimiting an opening for receiving a portion of the bag. The planar body has a perimeter comprising an inflection point provided on each side of the symmetry axis, at a transition between one of the shoulders and a corresponding one of the tabs. The clip can include a displaying label projecting rearwardly from the rearward border. A strip of closure clips is also provided.

A securable clip includes a first elongated rectangular portion and a second elongated rectangular portion connected along a common edge. The clip includes at least one locking peg, at least one receiving hole configured to receive the at least one locking peg, and a frangible portion. The frangible portion provides a visual indication that the clip has been opened. The releasing of the locking peg prevents the clip from being reclosed, reused, or sealed again.

Examples include a consumer product comprising a detergent product and a container, the container comprising a data processing apparatus. The container comprises a first chamber defining a first volume, the first chamber containing the detergent product, the first chamber being accessible through an opening. A lock permits opening or closing of the first chamber. A data processing apparatus comprises a processor, a power source connected to the processor, a sensor connected to the processor and a memory connected to the processor, the sensor being configured to sense the opening or closing of the first chamber by the lock to produce output lock data, the processor being configured to receive the lock data from the sensor.

A flexible pouch comprising a first panel and a second panel. A first compartment and a second compartment are formed between the first panel and the second panel. A seal positioned on the first and second panels between the first compartment and the second compartment. The first compartment includes at least one sidewall formed from the first panel and the second panel wherein the two sidewalls of the first compartment are opaque to as to prevent visibility of the contents of the first compartment. An NFC tag and/or a child proof zip seal or lock may also be provided.

An example milk storage system and associated methods are described. The example milk storage system includes a milk storage bag with a body forming an inner chamber for receiving milk. The milk storage bag includes a first closure mechanism extending across the body and separating the body into a bottom section and a top section. The milk storage bag includes a preperforated section formed in both the first and second side walls of the top section of the body and spaced from edges of the top section. The preperforated section is removable from the top section of the body to form an opening extending through the top section. The milk storage system includes a hanging apparatus including a mounting section and an extension protruding from the mounting section. The extension passes through the opening in the milk storage bag to support the milk storage bag in a hanging orientation.

One or more implementations of a multi-layer film include a first layer non-continuously bonded to a second pigmented layer. The multi-layer film includes an unexpected appearance differing from the appearance of the pigmented layer. In one or more embodiments, the multi-layer film includes a metallic appearance despite the pigmented layer being devoid of metallic pigment. The multi-layer film also includes areas that are visually distinct from areas of the film with the unexpected appearance. The visually-distinct areas comprise areas in which the first layer non-continuously is in intimate contact with the second pigmented layer. The visually-distinct areas have the appearance of the pigmented layer or another appearance. One or more implementations also include methods of making multi-layer films and bags with an unexpected appearance and visually-distinct areas.

A holder for the use of sanitary use articles includes a storage pouch including at least front and rear sides, a main access configured to allow the storage pouch to be reversibly interlocked and receive a plurality of gloves within the storage pouch, a dispensing slot disposed on the front side of the storage pouch, wherein the dispensing slot is optionally covered by a reversibly-sealable sanitary strip, and an adhesive patch disposed on the rear side of the storage pouch, wherein the storage pouch is configured to be adhered, by way of the adhesive patch, to an inner portion of a fuel filling compartment door of a vehicle.
