A vial blinding assembly includes a vial having a bottle with a constricted neck and an annular shoulder that inwardly extends; a stopper disposed on an opening of the bottle and having a septum with a top surface; and a retainer securing the stopper to the bottle. A tubular blinding shell encircles a compartment that extends between a first end with an inlet opening and an opposing second end with an access opening. A floor plug is secured to the first end of the blinding shell. The vial is disposed within compartment of the blinding shell with the vial being supported by the floor plug and the neck passing through the access opening so that the top surface of the septum is disposed outside of the compartment of the blinding shell, the shoulder of the vial having an outside diameter larger than a diameter of the access opening.

Container (1) comprising a substantially tubular metal container body (2) having a top opening defined by an outwardly curled edge, and a bottom opening. The container further comprises a peelable lid (9) bonded to an upper surface of said curled edge to close said top opening in an airtight manner, the outermost edge of the peelable lid not extending beyond an outermost extent of said curled edge, and a metal closure (4) comprising a generally planar centre panel (8) and a downwardly extending sidewall (7) depending from a peripheral region of the centre panel and terminating with an inwardly or outwardly directed fold (12), and a plurality of features (5) pressed into the sidewall at respective circumferentially spaced locations between said peripheral region and the fold, wherein the radial inward extent of the features is greater than that of the fold. The closure and the container body have relative dimensions to allow the features to pass over said curled edge during closure and to be retained beneath the curled edge to resist removal of the closure.

A resealable, vacuum packable receptacle has a container, a sealing layer, an inner lid, and an outer lid. When (i) the outer lid opening receives the inner lid, (ii) the inner lid is threadably mated with the container, and (iii) the container has the sealing layer positioned over the container's mouth; (A) a portion of the outer lid causes the outer lid or the inner lid to contact the sealing layer to push a desired amount of air from the container which then results in inhibiting air from entering or exiting the container, or (B) the distance between the outer lid's top surface and the inner lid's top surface can be altered, and when the distance is increased, the air pressure in the container is decreased.

The invention relates to a locking cap for a container comprising a neck, intended to block a stopper in the neck of the container and comprising: an external body having a breakable part, a cage that is configured to fit into and lock axially in the external body, and having a breakable zone, the cage further comprising: an upper ring, a plurality n of branches that are connected to the upper ring and define therewith a generally cylindrical shape, n/2 first bridges and n/2 second bridges, each interconnecting two adjacent branches, at least one opening tab, which is supported by a second bridge, which is inclined toward the outside of the cage and is oriented toward the upper ring, the opening tab being adjacent to the breakable zone, which is located on the second bridge.

A dispensing closure (40) includes a body (54) for being located at the opening of a container (44) defining a central axis (30) and having a pour spout (72). The body (54) including a crushable seal (200) surrounding the pour spout (72), and the body (54) including a lateral projection (210) extending therefrom. The closure (40) includes a closing element (56) for being removably attached to the body (54) and having a lateral projection (220) extending therefrom. The closing element (56) and the body (54) have a closed condition in which the crushable seal (200) seals between the closing element (56) and the body (54) and the lateral projections (210, 220) are confronting to inhibit separation of the closing element (56) away from the body (54) along the central axis (30).

A container assembly includes a container, a closure and a one-piece tamper-evident label. The container has a neck portion defining an opening and a body portion. The body portion includes at least one sidewall and a bottom opposite of the neck portion. The closure fits to the neck portion of the container for closing the opening. The closure includes a top wall portion and an annular skirt portion depending from the top wall portion. The one-piece tamper-evident label is permanently attached to the container and the closure. The label includes at least one line of weakness extending across thereof. The label covers a majority of the at least one sidewall and substantially extends around the circumferences of the container and the closure. The label is configured to be separated into at least a first label portion and a second label portion via the at least one line of weakness.
