A packaging system for at least one article includes a multilayer laminate structure and at least one sensor. The laminate structure encapsulates a transformative material between first and second conductive layers, which undergoes a state change that changes impedance between the first and second conductive layers in response to a perforation produced by the at least one sensor. An NFC/RFID circuit is electrically coupled to the first and second conductive layers of the multilayer laminate structure. At least one operational characteristic of the NFC/RFID circuit is dependent on the impedance change between the first and second conductive layers in response to a perforation produced by the sensor under predetermined environmental conditions. The operational characteristic(s) of the NFC/RFID circuit can be ascertained and analyzed (for example, by operations of an NFC/RFID interrogator) to detect and register the predetermined environmental conditions and provide an indication thereof.

A lid designed to allow a user to see and adjust the humidity levels of a container using a hygrometer and pocket for humidity packs. The lid also allows this to be accomplished without removing the lid because a hatch gives the user access to the inside of the container and underside of the lid, where the pocket is located. Also, the hatch on the lid provides a more efficient and easier method of accessing the contents of a container because a user can simply open and close a hatch, instead of needing to unlock a lever locking latch to remove a lid.

Embodiments provide for an impact force gauge that includes a track and a shell that is designed to flex from a first state to a second state when a force exceeding a predetermined threshold is applied along a given axis and that is designed to return to the first state when the force falls below the predetermined threshold along the given axis. A roller is located in the shell and has a diameter such the roller is allowed or blocked from moving to different locations in the impact force gauge based on the force applied thereto. Based on the presence or absence of the roller along different portions of the track, the force gauge wirelessly transmits an indication of whether the force gauge has been exposed to a force that exceeds the predetermined threshold.

A battery package includes a card, a cover, a tray, and batteries. The cover is attached to the card and includes a door and an opening formed in the front of the cover and the peripheral edge of the cover. The door is movable between an open position to provide access to the opening and a closed position. The tray is positioned between the card and the cover and includes multiple receptacles. Each battery is positioned within one of the receptacles. The card includes a recess in the outer edge of the card at a battery removal position. The tray is movable relative to the card and the cover to selectively align one of the receptacles with the opening in the battery removal position. With the door in the open position, the battery in the receptacle in the battery removal position is accessible through the opening.

An adhesive patch and method of use thereof for forming a plurality of stackable items into a vertically stacked load are described. The method may include delivering an aligned stack of items positioned on a pallet for eventual transportation while minimizing the misalignment of the stackable items.

It is an object to simply control an internal temperature of each individual container. A container comprises a cover portion; a box body including; a containing space formed therein; and an opening surface openable and closable by the cover portion; and a recording device including: a storage unit storing measurement information containing an internal temperature of the containing space and time when measuring the temperature; and a communication unit transmitting the measurement information to an external device, the recording device being provided in the cover portion, or the box body, or within the containing space, outside surfaces of the cover portion and the box body being covered with a metallic material to block communications between the communication unit and the external device, the metallic material used blocking of the communications between the communication unit and the external device being cancelled upon opening the cover portion.

Package laminate comprising a multilayer laminate with an outer layer having at least one carrier layer, an electrically conductive barrier layer and a top layer, characterized in that a functional element is arranged on a first side of the barrier layer and in that an electrical element is arranged on the second side of the barrier layer remote from the functional element, the functional element being connected to the electrical element via at least two mutually insulated electrical conductors.
