A method and device for thermal activation of tube-shaped packaging sleeves made of cardboard/plastic composite material, wherein a hot gas is applied to the tube-shaped packaging sleeve by a heating device in order to produce the base or the head of the packaging. To achieve even heating for the activation of the contact surfaces with production using simple construction, wherein the energy required for the activation process is used as completely as possible for the heating of the surfaces to be activated, the heating device is placed into effective contact with the surfaces to be activated by the heating device being moved inside the tube-shaped packaging sleeves for activation. The heating device has at least one nozzle element with an outlet opening, the external shape of which nozzle element corresponds to the internal shape of the end of the tube-shaped packaging sleeve to be activated.

A child-resistant package is disclosed comprising at least one locking tab, at least one locking slot, the at least one locking slot engaging with the at least one locking tab when the child-resistant package is in a locked position. The at least one locking tab comprising memory properties to allow the at least one locking tab to releasably engage with the at least one locking slot. The at least one locking tab further comprising a corrugated material having flutes oriented in a flute direction and the memory properties including the at least one locking tab returning to the locked position after being in an unlocked position in response to being bent against the flute direction.

A display apparatus is disclosed and includes a container and a cap. The container includes a body, a band disposed along a section of the body, and a retaining member. The body includes an open first end in communication with the interior recess and opposite a second enclosed end. The retaining member is disposed within the interior recess proximate the first open end, and is maintained in a substantially stationary position via frictional engagement with an interior surface of the body. The cap has a second height and includes an interior recess that is configured to engage and receive at least one of a section of the body including the first end and a section of the body including the second end. When the cap is engaged with the section of the body including the second end, the first end is elevated a distance between 0 and the second height.

The disclosed subject matter is directed to a packing insert for holding a holder and a kit including a container configured to hold the insert. The insert including a base portion having a bottom side and a top side and a support member axially protruding from the top side of the base member, where the support member is configured to be at least partially received within a central bore of the holder received within the packing insert.

The invention relates to a method for the extrusion and labelling of a packaging tube (14), comprising the following successive steps performed on an extrusion-labelling line, namely: a) forming a partially or fully tubular label (17) from a film (12); b) introducing the label (17) into a calibration element (22); c) extruding a tubular body (13) on the side of the concave surface of the label (17); d) bringing the external surface of the tubular body (13) into contact with the concave surface of the label (17), step (c) being performed in the calibration element (22). The invention also relates to an extrusion-labelling device and a packaging tube.

A food tray has a lower tray containing a first food product and an upper tray nested stably at least partly inside the lower tray, with the upper tray containing a second food product. An air permeable interface is provided between the upper tray and lower tray to allow venting of steam from the lower tray during cooking. A cover is provided for the food tray. Each of the lower tray and the upper tray are formed of a material that is suitable for use in a microwave or conventional oven. Various constructions may be used to create the air permeable interface, such as lugs, ledges and lips. The upper tray may sit above the lower tray. The trays are nested loosely for ease of removal of the upper tray from the lower tray. Various configurations of cover may be used such as a sleeve, carton or lid. The upper tray may contain the higher value food product.
