A conditioning agent (typically for use in repairing a flaw in a glazing panel) is contained in a sealed container which is itself disposed internally of a flexible outer walled container. Pressure applied to the outer flexible walled container can cause release of the conditioning agent from the internal conditioning agent container. The conditioning agent preparation may comprise a hygroscopic solvent (such as acetone) combined with one or more primer additives to prime the surface of the glazing panel for repair.

The invention relates to a tube part, for example a tube head or a cap, the part comprising a structural portion and at least one functional portion, the structural portion having a high cellulose content and the functional portion having a reduced cellulose content. The invention also relates to a package comprising at least one such part and a method for manufacturing the part for the package, and the package.

A dispensing package for holding and dispensing food products, such as yogurts, frozen confections, custards, and the like, and may comprise a unitary, one-piece package body preferably comprising wicking-resistant, polymer-coated paperboard material which is liquid impermeable. Non-coated paperboard may alternatively be employed. The package body includes a sidewall having a generally elongated, downwardly and inwardly tapering configuration, and can include a crimped bottom. The sidewall is inwardly deformable so that inward deformation urges product within the package upwardly through the open mouth of the package for dispensing the product. The package can alternatively be configured with a flat bottom, and include a horizontal, bottom flex panel to facilitate deformation of the package for dispensing product. This embodiment permits the package to be readily positioned in a standing, upright orientation during consumption so that product does not inadvertently flow from the package.

Airless tubular container (1) with an outer tube (1a) and an inner container (1b) both provided with respective skirts (2a, 2b). The inner container (1b) comprises an adapter (3b) to couple the inner container (1b) to the outer tube (1a). The skirt (2b) of the inner container (1b) is joined to the adapter (3b) and comprises a deployable portion (20) arranged under the adapter (3b). The deployable portion (20) enables the length of the skirt (2b) of the inner container (1b) to be adjusted with respect to the length of the skirt (2a) of the outer tube (1a), during the manufacture of the tubular container (1). Furthermore, the deployable portion (20) allows a relaxed collapsing of the inner container (1b) during use of the tubular container (1).
