System suitable for storing and/or transporting temperature-sensitive materials. In a preferred embodiment, the system may include a cooler made of expanded polystyrene foam. The cooler may include a base and a lid. The base may be a unitary structure that includes a cavity bounded by a bottom wall and four side walls. The base also may include an integral support that may include a platform elevated from the bottom wall, as well as a stanchion extending upwardly from the bottom wall along each of the side walls. The support may be constructed to removably receive a product box in the cavity and to orient the product box at an angle offset from the cavity. Dry ice pellets may be positioned around and under the product box, and additional dry ice pellets may be positioned in a tray mounted on the stanchions over the product box.

Filtering assemblies to be used with a flowable material container. The assembly includes a filtering screen. The assembly further includes filtering media. The filtering media includes activated carbon. The filtering media includes dissolvable material. The assembly further includes a filtering basket to contain the filtering media. The assembly further includes a valve assembly. The assembly further includes a spout with a filter. The spout further includes a removable filter. The removable filter is configured to extend beyond the end of the spout. The removable filter includes circulation holes. The removable filter is configured to be pushed into the spout by a closure cap. The removable filter is configured to contain filtering media.

A cap assembly for a container, including a base defining a base plane, a drink spout separate from the base and extending away from the base, a closure configured to selectively transition between a closed configuration, in which the closure is engaged with the drink spout and obstructs a passage through the drink spout, and an open configuration, in which the closure is not engaged with the drink spout and does not obstruct the passage through the drink spout, and a closure retention mechanism configured to retain the closure in any one of a plurality of stowed positions against the base.

A portable thermal insulated apparatus for cooling or heating items stored therein. The thermal insulated apparatus includes a container having a lid that removably secures to an open first end thereof and a reservoir unit that removably secures to an open second end. The container includes an inner tube and an outer tube forming an insulated double-wall sealed at both ends in which the lid and reservoir unit can be connected thereto. The reservoir unit removably receives a thermal unit that provides cooling or heating to the contents of the container when affixed thereto. The thermal unit is separable from the reservoir unit, such that the thermal units are interchangeable as needed. In some embodiments, the thermal unit is directly securable to the lid and the second end of the container is permanently sealed.

The present invention relates to a metal cap that has an adhesive inner surface coating film and a masking layer that can be formed in the same step thereby exhibiting excellent productivity, and a method for manufacturing the same. A coating film of a coating composition containing an adhesive component in a base resin and a masking agent is formed between the top plate portion inner surface of the metal cap shell and the olefin resin liner. The coating film has an adhesive portion that is adhesive to the olefin resin liner and a non-adhesive portion that is non-adhesive or weakly adhesive to the olefin resin liner. The adhesive portion of the coating film is formed by positioning the adhesive component of the coating composition on the coating film surface. The non-adhesive portion of the coating film has the masking layer of the masking agent at a side facing the metal cap shell, such that a sea-island structure is formed on the coating film surface corresponding to the masking layer, in which the adhesive component of the coating composition is a dispersion phase and the base resin is a continuous phase.

A container includes a cup and a lid. The lid is adapted to mate with a brim included in the cup to close a top aperture opening into an interior liquid-storage region formed in the cup.

A degradable containment includes an outer structural layer constructed of a pulp material, a central carrier layer constructed of a biopolymer, and an interior nanomaterial layer constructed of a nanomaterial.

A seal member is provided that may prevent fluids from leaking from a drinking bottle, such as a reusable water bottle. The seal member may be overmolded into a lid of the bottle such that the seal chemically and mechanically bonds to the lid. Overmolding the seal member eliminates gaps that could form between the seal and the lid, thus enhancing the cleanability of the seal member and the lid.

The invention relates to a cover intended to close a vial for dispensing a fluid product, the cover including a hollow body and an insert inserted in the hollow body. The insert includes a platform including an upper face delimited by a peripheral edge and featuring a central axis; a skirt extending along the central axis from the platform and featuring an outer surface; an empty volume defined by: a base corresponding to a surface of the upper face included between, on the one hand, the peripheral edge and, on the other, a joint between the platform and the outer surface of the skirt, and a height corresponding to the height of the skirt; The insert further includes the means for filling the empty volume.
