The invention relates to a cap for closing containers comprising at least one mesh, one foamed polymer and at least one further polymer, and to containers equipped with the cap of the invention.

A container for holding a product such as snack food, wherein the container is transformable from a cylindrical shape to a bowl shape adapted to hold and provide easy access to the product. The container has a pleated sidewall comprising a plurality of longitudinally extending rigid sidewall panels and pleats, with each sidewall panel connected to adjacent pleats by frangible lines extending in the longitudinal direction.

A lid may include first and second openings disposed within a spout. The first opening may provide a first fluid pathway to a fluid disposed in an attached container and the second opening may provide a second fluid pathway to a fluid disposed in the container. The lid may also include a spout at least partially defined by an outer wall. First and second openings may be disposed within the spout and the openings may be at least partially defined by the outer wall of the spout. A conduit, such as a straw, may be coupled to an opening. If desired, a closure may be connected to the lid and the closure may selectively close one or more of the openings.

A venting cap liner has a bottom surface facing an annular bottle lip surrounding an open top end of a bottle neck, and a top surface facing an inner top wall of a closure cap, the liner being configured to provide a gas-permeable but liquid-impervious seal that is resistant to rupture when a downwardly directed torque is applied in a thickness direction of the liner body to compression seal the liner body between the annular bottle lip and the inner top wall of the cap. In one embodiment, a two-layer liner body includes a bottom layer of a mineral-filler based polyolefin (MFP) material that is substantially liquid-impervious while allowing release of gas evolving from a liquid product in the bottle, and a top layer comprising a polyolefin (PO) foam material having a grooved upper surface with channels facing the inner top wall of the cap, and a plurality of through-holes extending in a thickness direction, wherein the layers of the liner body allow gas, evolving from a product in the sealed bottle, to permeate out the open top end of the bottle neck, through the MFP material, the through-holes of the PO foam material and along the channels to flow out of an area between an exterior surface of the bottle neck and a peripheral cap flange.

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.
