A tamper evident tabbed sealing member for sealing to a rim surrounding a container opening is described that includes a multi-layer laminate configured to isolate a residual ring of material that remains on a container land area upon seal removal.

A non-venting one-piece, partially perforated multilayer induction heat seal liner for a container that allows an aroma or scent from a solid substance within the sealed container to permeate through the liner, while preventing leakage and/or physical contact of the substance by the consumer. The liner includes a partial perforation extending completely through a metal foil layer, and leaving an un-perforated thickness in a paper layer. The partial perforation will allow a prospective customer to sniff the scent or aroma released through the partial perforation, while the liner remains secured to the container, extending shelf life of the substance, and preventing leakage, as well as, contamination, damage and/or reduced volume caused by consumers sampling the substance/product within the container.

A container sealing machine comprising: a rotary turret having a plurality of sealing heads arranged to rotate about an axis of the rotary turret, each sealing head comprising: an inductive heater arranged to inductively heat a foil closure of a container, and a sealing surface arranged to exert pressure on the closure, and a plurality of gripper assemblies arranged to rotate about the axis of the rotary turret, each gripper assembly being arranged for engaging a neck of a container; a bottle and a closure for use in such a machine; and a machine and method for manufacturing such a closure.

A container closure includes an outer cap, an inner cap, and a seal. The outer cap includes a top wall and an outer sidewall extending downward from the top wall. The inner cap is secured within the outer cap and includes a bottom wall and an inner sidewall extending upwardly from the bottom wall. The seal is secured to the inner cap and includes a seal sidewall and a rim extending inwardly from the seal sidewall. The seal sidewall sealingly engages the inner sidewall and the rim sealingly overlaps the bottom wall. The inner cap together with the seal define an air pathway in fluid communication between a space between the outer and inner caps and an air opening formed on the bottom wall of the inner cap and selectively covered by the rim.

A plastic capsule has an integrated dispensing device for a substrate accommodated in the plastic capsule. The capsule comprises a capsule body, an opening element and a capsule cover. The capsule body and the capsule cover define a capsule interior for the substrate, in which the opening element is arranged in such a way that the opening element can be moved toward the capsule cover. The capsule cover can be brought from a closed state into an open state by the opening element. The capsule cover has a peripheral fastening edge and a plurality of flaps, which are connected to the fastening edge by one hinge each, in particular a film hinge, the movement of the opening element toward the capsule cover causing a deflection of the flaps around the respective hinges.

Induction heat-seal liner that allows a visual inspection of the product in the container to be made through the seal, and/or an aroma from the product to be detected through the seal, while the seal remains secured to the container to protect against leakage or contamination. In one embodiment, the liner has an intermediate metal-foil layer having a central opening, and a central liner portion, aligned in a thickness direction with a central opening of a metal-foil layer, comprises one or more materials or spaces that provide visibility into and/or aroma penetration from the open mouth of the container. In another embodiment, a dual heat-seal liner having a dispensing aperture is provided that heat seal bonds to both the cap and container to form a non-removable closure assembly that protects the metal-foil layer from degradation by the product being dispensed.
