A container includes a container closure and a multi-layer side wall coupled to the container closure. A method includes forming the container with the multi-layer side wall. The multi-layer sidewall includes a film layer and a foamed layer coupled to the film layer to provide the multi-layer sidewall.

Provided is a method for making barrier tube shoulders. The method includes forming a parison from a multi-layer laminated structure having an inner layer that faces an interior of the parison, an outer layer comprising an exterior surface of the parison, and an interdisposed layer between the inner layer and the outer layer, wherein the interdisposed layer is a flavor barrier layer. The method also includes providing an extrusion blow molding (EBM) mold comprising at least one cavity shaped as a barrier tube shoulder, positioning the parison in the EBM mold, and blow molding the parison such that the parison substantially conforms to the EBM mold to form a barrier tube shoulder having the barrier layer.

A packaged product, a method of manufacturing a package, and a method of dispensing a consumable substance from a package. The packaged product may include a flexible tube having a cavity and an opening that forms a passageway into the cavity. A cap may be detachably coupled to the flexible tube to close the opening. A flexible container may be positioned within the cavity of the flexible tube, and a consumable substance may be disposed within the flexible container, which can be completely sealed and free of openings prior to first use. Introduction of one or more drops of water into the first cavity through the opening in the outer container may dissolve at least a portion of the flexible container thereby forming a hole in the flexible container through which the consumable substance is configured to be dispensed.

The present invention provides a hollow hand-held storage device for storing items, comprising a hollow body formed by wrapping a sheet to form a cylindrical body having a chamber, a first end being an opening located at one end of the hollow body and communicating with the chamber, and a second end being a closed end located at the other end of the hollow body. The sheet has different thicknesses which cause different degrees of concavity or deformation on the two side surfaces of the hollow body when subjected to a gripping force. When a user grips the hollow body with one hand, the user can naturally squeeze the hollow body from its bottom to its top by feeling the different degrees of concavity or deformation through a thumb and index finger, thereby squeezing out the item and exposing the item at the first end.

An eco-friendly soft tube packaging and a method of manufacturing the same are provided. The soft tube packaging includes a cap, a body, a tightening member, and an outer tube, all made from biodegradable or recyclable materials. A bottle preform is produced by injection molding and further produced into the body with a hollow liner by blow molding. The outer tube is a spiral paper tube produced by at least two payers of fiber paper. The outer tube is covering the liner and fixed to the body by the tightening member. A rear end of the outer tube and a rear end of the liner are adhered and the liner is closed. The respective components of the soft tube packaging can be broken down and detached for sorting and recycling separately. Therefore, fully recyclable or biodegradable tube packaging can be achieved.
