A beverage bottle may include a handle that engages a neck of the bottle. The handle may include a band region that encircles a portion of the neck of the bottle. The handle may be easily assembled onto the bottle, and be aesthetically pleasing. In an embodiment, a grip portion may be aligned angularly higher than the band region when the bottle is resting in a vertical position. The handle may have a grip portion sized to enable an adult to comfortably hold the grip portion with at least one finger.

A multi-part packaging including at least two packaging sleeves and a sealing film that seals a connection joint between the packaging sleeves is disclosed. One of the two packaging sleeves includes an end region having a reduced diameter that can be inserted into an accommodation region of the other packaging sleeve forming the connection joint that runs in the circumference direction which can be sealed in an air-tight manner by means of the sealing film that is wound onto the connection joint in the circumference direction and sealed thereon. Edges of the sealing film overlap in a coverage region that runs parallel to a longitudinal axis of the packaging sleeves in the axial direction, wherein a first overlap edge conforms to a starting edge of a second overlap edge to form the air-tight seal.

The invention is directed to a colored cap for a disposable beverage bottle. The cap is provided in a broad variety of different colors and corresponds to the color of the accompanying seal ring, such that a bottler may provide a differently colored cap and a corresponding colored seal ring on each bottle in a package of multiple bottles. Sufficient colors are provided to support 12, 24, or 36 users with a different color cap and seal ring for each user. Preferably, the bottles are packaged such that four colors are used in a 12-pack, four or six colors are used in a 24-pack, and six colors are used in a 36-pack.

A male-disinfecting cap is configured to couple with and apply an antiseptic agent to medical male luer-lock connector of the type including a post having a lumen. The cap includes a receiving portion which defines a chamber. The post of the male luer-lock connector is received into a single opening of the chamber. The receiving portion is configured to fit within the skirt of the male luer-lock connector when the post is received into the receiving portion. At least one vent is defined on the internal surface of the receiving portion and extends from the opening into the chamber, where an antiseptic is disposed. Protrusions on the external surface of the receiving portion engage helical threads of the internally helically threaded skirt. The male-disinfecting cap also includes a seal that prevents evaporation of the antiseptic agent in the chamber prior to use.
