In order to supply simplified pallet capable of preventing the transportation case from being deformed or damaged by making easier to support the load of the transportation case to be loaded, the simplified pallet member to be arranged and used at the four corners under the transportation case is equipped with installation portion to install the transportation case and grounded portion projected downward integrally from the installation portion and the internal dimension shape of the corner portion of the installation portion and outer edge shape of the corner portion of the grounded portion are made agreeable through plane viewing.

A container (200) is provided. The container (200) comprises a mouth (202), a cap (204) for operably exposing or closing the mouth (202), a sealing layer (206) on top of the mouth (202) and a security label (208) which is scannable. At least a portion (204a) of the cap (204) is transparent. The security label (208) is disposed over the sealing layer ((206) below the transparent cap (204) and the security label (208) is machine scannable.

A bundle of packing material includes at least two strips of packing material folded into a compact configuration. The strips of packing material include a top strip having a length dimension between first and second end portions and a central portion between the first end portion and the second end portion, and a bottom strip having a length dimension between first and second end portions and a central portion between the first end portion and the second end portion. The central portion of the top strip overlays the central portion of the bottom strip and the length dimension of the top strip is oriented orthogonal to the length dimension of the bottom strip. The first and second end portions of top strip are folded over the central portions, and the first and second end portions of the bottom strip are folded over the central portions.

The invention to which this application relates to improvements to a retaining band which can be used to securely locate, form and retain a load of items or goods, in one embodiment on a pallet, and thereby retain the said items or goods as a single integral package. The invention allows for the adaptation of the retaining bands to be detectable when with a predetermined range of detection apparatus such as X-ray and/or metal detection apparatus so that should the retaining band or fragments thereof be discarded or dislodged, the presence of the same is detectable and therefore prevented from becoming a potential contaminant or safety hazard.

A food carrying system comprises a plurality of food service items including at least one container and optionally one or more plates, drink carriers, and/or trays. At least one of the food service items includes opposing strap openings formed in an edge, encircling flange, or opposed flange handles thereof. A support band encircles the stack, passing through the strap openings, and ends thereof are affixed together to stabilize the stack and in embodiments providing a hand-hold for carrying the stack. The band can further extend through a strap opening provided in a separate handle, so that the stack can be carried using the handle. Strap openings can be provided on lids and/or bases of the containers. Strap openings can be closed ovals, or can be C-shaped, having open outer edges. Band ends can be joined by adhesive, hook-and-loop, knot tying, stapling, snaps, buttons, etc.
