Items may be packaged for shipping or storage using additive manufacturing techniques, also known as three dimensional (3-D) printing. Packages made by such processes may be referred to as 3-D printed packages. The 3-D printed packages may be customized based on one or more items contained in the package, a recipient of the package, a sender of the package, and/or a destination location of the package. The customizations may include two-dimensional and/or three-dimensional customizations on an interior and/or exterior of the 3-D printed packages.

Each compartment unit includes a flanged base from which a chamber depends. The chamber serves to hold an item to be dispensed and is surrounded by a flange. A closure member, in the form of a respective portion of a frangible cover sheet, is adhesively secured to the flange of each compartment unit. Each compartment unit includes at least one foldable tab in a corner of its flange, which can be folded down to enable the closure member to be removed from the compartment unit after the compartment unit is separated from other compartment units of the package.

A packing system for a plurality of articles comprising: first and second packages; wherein each of the first and second packages comprises: a housing comprising a front wall and a rear wall, wherein the rear wall comprises a recessed portion; an article disposed within the housing, at least a part of the article protruding from the front wall of the housing; wherein the rear wall comprises a recessed portion, a shape of the recessed portion corresponding to a profile of the at least a part of the article protruding from the front wall, wherein the front wall of the second package is adjacent to the rear wall of the first package.

A battery package is described herein that advantageously maintains separation between batteries received therein while also providing a resealable opening to sequentially retrieve batteries therefrom. Further, the battery package can include an outer covering.

A hanging pocket for point-of-sale display is provided. The hanging pocket comprises a front panel, an upper rear panel connected to a top edge of the front panel long an upper fold line, and a lower rear panel connected to a bottom edge of the front panel along a lower fold line. The upper and lower rear panels are configured to fold towards the front panel to form a pocket with open sides. First and second side flaps connected to lateral edges of front panel fold inwardly and join with both the upper and lower rear panels to enclose open sides of the pocket.

A multi-section package for instant coffee includes a plurality of sealed flexible packets connected together, each of the plurality of sealed flexible packets being configured to contain a predetermined quantity of contents. In the multi-section package, each of the plurality of sealed flexible packets has a heat-sealed wing disposed at an end thereof and a cutting line formed on a surface thereof adjacent to the heat-sealed wing.

A package is provided that is formed from a packaging material, such as film, having increased adhesive in critical locations, such as adjacent folds in the end seal and other areas so that that the increased adhesive can at least partially fill voids adjacent such folds. The additional, localized sealant material is applied in a plurality of discrete locations in the end seal or other region adjacent where folds are formed and overlap with a sealant layer so as to provide additional sealant material for at least partially filling the voids without being present throughout the entirety, majority or large portions of the packaging material.

The electronic media case also includes a display housing that has a first flap and a first plurality of foldable tabs surrounding the electronic display device. A viewing window is cut into the first flap, exposing the display screen through the first flap. The electronic media case also includes a folding case that has a second flap to which the foldable tabs of the first plurality of foldable tabs are connected. The folding case also has a third flap connected to the second flap at a first folding interface. The electronic media case includes a media sleeve that is connected to the third flap.

The invention relates to a container for a heart pump device with a first receiving space for a compressible and expandable heart pump, wherein the first receiving space is delimited on several sides, in particular on all sides, by one or more closure elements and is closed off to the outside for preventing a contacting of the heart pump, wherein the closure elements) leave free an opening for the passage of a catheter from the outside into the first receiving space, wherein the diameter of the opening is dimensioned such that the heart pump can pass this exclusively in a condition which is at least partly compressed compared to the expanded condition. For implantation, the heart pump in the container can firstly be operated by trial in the container whilst feeding a rinsing fluid and can then be pulled through the opening amid simultaneous compression, into a sheath element.
