A method includes obtaining a container sized to fit multiple high voltage light emitting diode (LED) lightbulbs, adding multiple loose high voltage LED lightbulbs to the container to fill the container, and sealing the container, such that the container contains a higher density of high voltage LED light bulbs than a same sized container can hold protective packaged equivalent watt incandescent bulbs.

A heat shrinkable stretched multilayer film for skin packaging comprising a crosslinked resin layer, a gas barrier resin layer, and a heat sealing resin layer sequentially arranged in this order from the outer side, and having dry thermal shrinkage rate of 10 to 55% in each of the machine direction (MD) and of the transverse direction (TD) at 120° C., and tensile elongation at break of 190% or greater in the machine direction at 120° C.

A rope dispensing system for dispensing a continuous rope from a compressed rope cartridge. The device has a canister for storage of the rope cartridge, a resealable lid with a grommet for passing the rope through the lid, and a replaceable cutting mechanism for cutting the rope. Preferably the rope cartridge is shrink-wrapped to fit within case and keep rope from unraveling.

Provided is a polyester-based shrink film having excellent predetermined impact resistance and having a uniform shrinkage ratio near the shrinking temperature. Disclosed is a polyester-based shrink film that satisfies the following configurations (a) to (c): (a) the impact resistance strength before shrinking as measured by a film impact tester is designated as A1, and this is within 20 to 60 J/mm; (b) when the impact resistance strength measured by a film impact tester after having been shrunk by 10% in hot water at 80° C. is designated as A2, the numerical value represented by A2/A1×100 is within 60% to 110%; and (c) when the shrinkage ratio under the conditions of 80° C. and 10 seconds is designated as B1, and the shrinkage ratio under the conditions of 90° C. and 10 seconds is designated as B2, the numerical value represented by B1/B2×100 is within 70% to 90%.

A method for treating open cut edges of a packaging sleeve, blank or web material of a packaging material rolled up into a roll, in particular a composite cardboard/plastics material, by applying or introducing a disinfectant-containing treatment agent to or into the outer region of the cut edges. To provide a particularly resource-efficient composite packaging and a production method required for this purpose, it is proposed that at least some of the treatment agent is not applied directly to the cut edges, but that a load carrier is loaded, which load carrier absorbs the treatment agent so that an actively sterilising atmosphere which is created then acts on the open cut edges of the packaging sleeve, blank or web material and performs the desired sterilisation. The invention also relates to a packaging material, to a combipack produced therefrom and to a container for receiving the packaging material.

The invention provides preparations, formulations, kits and other products of manufacture (e.g., blister packs) comprising combinations of beneficial ingredients that are serviceable as therapies for improving states and disease symptoms such as involving inflammation, excessive sympathoneural drive, cachexia, anorexia, and anorexia-cachexia, as well as stress or anxiety related thereto, and methods of making and using them. The invention provides compositions and therapies comprising use of a beta adrenergic antagonist (also called “beta blockers”, e.g., propranolol) in combination with an anti-inflammatory agent, e.g., a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), an anabolic steroid, a natural oil or fatty acid or any combination thereof

A packaging assembly includes a plurality of individual packages. Each of the plurality of individual packages is adjoined to at least one other of the plurality of individual packages. The individual packages can be adjoined by hinged and/or detachable connections. Each of the plurality of individual packages has a base, a sidewall integral with and extending from the base, and an opening defined by an end of the sidewall distal from the base. Any conceivable product can be packaged in the packaging assembly. The packaging assembly can be configured in a nested manner and has a ratio of a packaged product volume to an occupied space volume that is at least 0.5 and less than 1.

A container apparatus including a container and a sleeve with pre-weakened areas to facilitate detaching the sleeve from the container. The container may include a body and a cap coupled thereto. The sleeve may include tamper evident features and may maintain the container in a closed and packaged state prior to purchase and use by a consumer. The sleeve may include different pre-weakened or perforated sections to permit the consumer to remove a first portion of the sleeve to permit the user to open the container and use the product therein without also removing a second portion of the sleeve which may contain product information. The sleeve may then include an additional pre-weakened or perforated section to permit the consumer to remove the second portion of the sleeve after the container is empty for sustainability purposes so that the container is more readily recyclable.

A thermoplastic flexible package includes a first non-shrinkable panel, an opposing second non-shrinkable panel, a first shrinkable panel and an opposing a second shrinkable panel. The panels are connected longitudinally with panel seals. The first non-shrinkable panel and the second non-shrinkable panel each forms a gusset. A first seal connects the first shrinkable panel and the second shrinkable panel in the transverse direction at or near the upper edges. A second seal that opposes the first seal connects the first and second non-shrinkable panels and the first and shrinkable panels in the transverse direction at or near the lower edges.

The invention relates to shrink packaging (1) for packing a series of containers (2), said packaging comprising a first zone (3) and, in this zone, at least one incision line including a series of perforations forming at least one partially detachable section (4) arranged to allow the extraction of at least one container (2) in a direction extending substantially from the lower part of the container (2) to the upper part thereof, said partially detachable packaging section (4) being larger than the cross-section of the at least one container (2) to be extracted. Moreover, the partially detachable section (4) is located on the periphery of the first zone (3).
