A biodegradable flexible container carrier is formed using a biodegradable plastic material that defines an array of apertures for receiving beverage containers. The biodegradable plastic material includes at least one of a) a polyolefin mixed with a prodegradant additive, b) a polyolefin extruded with a biodegradable co-resin, and c) a biodegradable structural polymer.

A Carrier device for grouping and transporting a set of cans of beverages into a package; the carrier comprises an upper central area arranged on a level above the top plane of the cans; clamping flanges surround and fit snugly to the tapered trunk portion of the can, and have a mantle with proximal, rising ends; a series of radial cuts forming two types of retainer flaps, where each retainer flap comprises a perimeter contour generated by a polygonal-elliptical cut line which in turn generates a cover flap that remains attached and co-planar to the central area of the device; and transition portions which extend in a downward sloping manner as a continuation of the upper central area and join laterally with the proximal ends of the flanges.

Disclosed is an adapter (100) for connecting a refill container (200) with a container (300) during a refilling process. The adapter (100) has a first open end (10) and a second open end (11). The first open end (10) and the second open end (11) are connected to an in particular peripheral wall (12). A breaking element (20) is arranged inside the adapter (100). Said breaking element (20) extends in the direction of the first open end (10) and is connected on one side via a web (21) to the wall (12).

A packaging system for sealing a medicine container having a filling opening with a stopper includes a container tray having a container cell for receiving and stabilizing the medicine container. A shuttle has an exterior surface and an interior surface. The interior surface is configured for releasably securing the stopper. The shuttle is configured to release the stopper into the fill opening upon application of a releasing force to the exterior surface of the shuttle. A shuttle tray has a shuttle cell. The shuttle cell forms a body with a proximal opening, an interior space, a bottom inner surface opposite the proximal opening, and a side inner surface. The shuttle cell releasably secures the shuttle.
