A single piece of material that changes from a cuboid to a wedge includes a central panel bounded by four creases and four sidewall panels extending therefrom, respectively. A fold-over panel extends from the second sidewall panel. The third and fourth sidewall panels each define first and second portions sharing a crease angled from the respective third or fourth crease. The central panel, fold-over panel, and sidewall panels define the top, bottom, and sides of the cuboid, respectively, with an interior label. In the wedge: the second sidewall panel and the first portions extend downward from the central panel, the second portions are folded inward from the first portions, the central panel overlies and is inclined at the angle with respect to the fold-over panel, which is attached to the first sidewall panel, and the label is exterior. Each crease is pre-formed in the piece.

A flat finger loop is a flat and flexible membrane that has a first opening and a second opening having a shape and orientation with respect to each other such that the region between them can alternately form a loop with a tight and secure grip on a finger when a finger is inserted through one opening and out of the other, and can collapse completely flat and flush with the rest to the membrane when the loop is not is use. The flat finger loop can also be attached to portable objects, such as a smartphone, whereby the object becomes stuck to and thus effortlessly held by a single finger.

The inventive label is prepared from a polyester with an intrinsic viscosity of 0.58 dl/g or more. The label has a base film with a thickness of 8-30 m and a difference in specific heat capacity Cp between temperatures lower and higher than Tg of 0.2 J/(g.Math. C.) or more. The label has a tensile elongation at break of 5% or more in both a main shrinkage direction and an orthogonal direction. A difference between the absorbancy ratio (absorbancy at 1340 cm.sup.1/absorbancy at 1410 cm.sup.1) in the main shrinkage direction of the label and the absorbancy ratio in the direction orthogonal to the main shrinkage direction of the label is 0.2 or more. The label has a difference between a maximum value and a minimum value of a length in a vertical direction of the label of 3 mm or less.

A container system includes a container or a sterile container to which an attachment part can be fastened. For this purpose, the sterile container has a fastening portion which is formed integrally with or integrally in a closed container wall of the container, to which the attachment part can be fastened in a positive fit or locked in a spring-elastic manner.

A cap with improved usability is provided. The present invention provides a cap including a cap body to be fitted to a mouth of a container, wherein the cap is configured to include: a valve seat having a flow aperture; a valve body to be separated from or seated on the valve seat so as to open and close the flow aperture; and a biasing member to bias the valve body in a seating direction, and configured to increase a flow area in which contents flow with an increase in a displacement of the valve body, and the cap further includes a displacement restricting section to restrict the displacement of the valve body.

A beverage container insulator is presented herein. The beverage container insulator can include a body. The body can define a cylinder and have an opening at a first end and a web closing a second end opposite the first end. An interior surface can be defined by the body and can be configured to receive a beverage container. An exterior surface can be defined by the body opposite to the interior surface. First and second apertures can be formed in the web arranged to mirror one another on opposite sides of an axis passing through a middle of the web.

A system, method, and device for shipping, transporting, storing, and managing logistics of a variety of cargo. A crate is disclosed that allows for easy and inexpensive return shipment (reverse logistics) after use through a collapsible, interlocking system of a pallet base, foldable side wall assemblies, and a lid that can be removably connected to one another. The crate can utilize guide protrusions and corresponding guide recesses to fit the components together. The height of the crate can be increased by additional tiers of side walls. Latch assemblies can be utilized to fasten adjacent components together. The crate may include a tracking or monitoring device that can monitor one or more of humidity, temperature, tilt, impact, vibration, and variety of desired conditions. The system may include Bluetooth beacons on each of the components and a Bluetooth sensor in the monitoring device in the pallet base to monitor disassembled components.

An apparatus includes a receptacle configured to hold contents in a defined cavity, a device configured to fasten and secure the contents within the receptacle, and a tag configured to attach from a first attachment point on the receptacle to a second attachment point on the receptacle after the contents are placed within the receptacle.

A bottle decorated with a removable wrap includes a bottle and a removable wrap. The wrap includes a thin resilient planar body that is curved such that the body forms a structure resembling a portion of a cylinder. A decorative treatment is applied to the body. In a first state, the wrap is separated from the bottle, and the cylindrical structure is in a natural/default state and has a first radius. In a second state, the wrap is separated from the bottle, and the cylindrical structure is in a spread state and has a second radius. In a third state, the wrap is mounted around the bottle, the cylindrical structure is in a partially-spread mounting state and has a third radius such that bias in the partially-spread body is applied to the bottle. The second radius is larger than the third radius which is larger than the first radius.

A method for applying a label to a container particularly suited for applying a polypropylene label to a polypropylene cup as it is moulded. The resultant container is made of a single type of plastic allowing it to be easily recycled. The mould used to produce the container has been designed to hold a label in place and stretch a portion of the label so it stays in place before injecting the plastic to form the container.
