A plug for temporarily sealing a drinking orifice in a beverage container lid, including a body portion having a cap having an upper surface, a sealing component extending from a distal side of the cap, wherein a cross-sectional area of the sealing component is less than a cross-sectional area of the cap, and a sealing surface along the distal side of the cap surrounding the sealing component. The plug also includes an elongate member extending from the sealing component, and an external member extending from the upper surface of the cap, the external member configured to allow a user to grip the plug for insertion and removal of the plug from the orifice.

A device and system for temporarily sealing an orifice in a beverage container lid comprising a plug (10, 110, 210, 310) having an upper surface (14, 114, 214), a body portion (12, 112), and a lower surface (16, 116, 216), said body portion adapted to be inserted and releasably retained in the orifice to provide a temporary seal thereof, and an external member (20, 120, 220) located on the upper surface of the plug configured to allow a user to grip the plug for ease of removal from the orifice.

A container with a wireless IC tag includes a container having a container body and a sealing member for sealing an opening portion of the container body; and a wireless IC tag and a cap seal attached to the container. The container body includes a neck (extending from the opening portion. The wireless IC tag includes an antenna for contactless communication, a wiring for wire break detection, and an IC chip connected to the antenna and the wiring. The cap seal includes a cylindrical member that surrounds the neck, the cylindrical member having a metal section disposed on a side face of the neck. The wireless IC tag is disposed to extend between opposite lateral sides of the neck via the sealing member and is partially sandwiched between the neck and the cylindrical member with the IC chip exposed from the cap seal.

The invention relates to a security cover designed to surround a container, the cover comprising a sleeve (1) and a security strip (2) secured to an inside face of said sleeve and including at least one zone of weakness, the security strip being shaped so that when in service it surrounds the container below a finish of the container and in the immediate proximity of said finish, the security strip thus creating a compression zone compressing the container. The invention also relates to a container covered with such a cover.

A container is disclosed for packaging and storing coffee. The container may take the form of a tube with an open top end and a closed bottom end, where the top may be covered with a cap. The coffee inside the tube may be soluble coffee. The tube may be made with a variety of materials such as polylactide or polypropylene.

A container assembly is provided comprising a container body, a stopper member removably attachable to the container to seal a container aperture thereof, and a thermal insulation member removably attachable to an upper body portion of the container body. The thermal insulation member has a sidewall extending downwardly from an upper portion and defining a downwardly opening cavity within which the upper body portion and the stopper are positioned. The sidewall and the upper portion of the thermal insulation member each include an inner wall and an outer wall spaced apart from the inner wall. An insulation chamber is disposed between the inner and outer walls. The thermal insulation member includes an engagement portion adapted to engage with a corresponding engagement portion of the upper body portion to removably attach the thermal insulation member thereto.

Disclosed is a tampon applicator package assembly having a tampon applicator and a cap having a closed end and an open end. The tampon applicator has a barrel for housing a pledget and a plunger. The plunger has an end portion that is a cap cover that connects to a remainder of the plunger and mates with the cap at the open end to provide a seal with the cap that completely encloses the tampon applicator in the cap. Also disclosed is an assembly having a tampon applicator, a cap having both a closed end and open end, and a cap cover for covering the open end of the cap. When the cap cover is placed on the open end, the open end is sealed and the tampon applicator is completely enclosed in the cap.
