The invention relates to a pharmaceutical product or container closure system containing an overpouch with an intransparent first foil and a transparent second foil, a transparent primary container for holding a transparent liquid, e.g., a pharmaceutical formulation, wherein the transparent primary container is packed within the overpouch and labeled with at least one label and wherein the at least one label acts as a light absorbing segment having a reflection R.sub.L for light in the range of about 350 nm to about 800 nm and an inner surface of the intransparent first foil of the overpouch acts as a light reflecting background having a reflection R.sub.F for light in the direction of the primary container in the range of about 350 nm to about 800 nm with R.sub.F≠R.sub.L. By the transparent second foil and the inventive reflection properties it is achieved that the at least one label on the primary container is visible and readable. Additionally, visual inspection of the content of the transparent primary container is possible. A good contrast is achieved to enhance machine and human readability.

A securable clip includes a first elongated rectangular portion and a second elongated rectangular portion connected along a common edge. The clip includes at least one locking peg, at least one receiving hole configured to receive the at least one locking peg, and a frangible portion. The frangible portion provides a visual indication that the clip has been opened. The releasing of the locking peg prevents the clip from being reclosed, reused, or sealed again.

A capsule for preparation of a beverage includes a container and a beverage ingredient contained therein. The container includes a code adapted for being identified or read by external reading means, and the code is arranged on the container to be read while the capsule is rotated around an axis of rotation traversing the capsule.

In some aspects, an item storage unit for storing one or more items includes the following components. A first frame component and a first stretch member coupled to at least a first surface of the first frame component. The first stretch member being more flexible relative to the first frame component. The one or more items are configured to be supported by at least the first stretch member and the first frame component.

The present invention relates to a portion capsule for producing a beverage, comprising a basic element having a cavity in which a raw beverage material is provided and being closed by a membrane fastened to the basic element.

Disclosed is a smart device housing configured to fixably attach to a beverage vessel having a domed surface at a distal end, the domed surface adjacent a wall terminating at a lip, the smart device housing including an exterior configured as a transformable shape enabling a locking fit between the lip and the domed surface of the beverage vessel. Also disclosed is a system wherein a smart device has at least one proximity, image or distance sensor having a beam of detection with a path, the sensor located and directed such the beam of detection covers a location where a coupler can be attached to the beverage vessel, the smart device configured to determine whether the coupler is attached to the beverage vessel by measuring whether the path is obstructed by the coupler. Also disclosed is a method of determining the fill status of a beverage container.

A sustainable and lightweight bag having a unique weaving pattern. A system utilizing the bag having multiple systems to provide a sustainable alternative to single use plastic bags.

A multipack of containers comprises several containers (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16) held together by adhesive means extending between the outer surfaces of adjacent containers (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16). The outer surface of each container (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16) is provided with a unitary code on a first region of outer surface and with a multipack code (3) on a second region of the outer surface. The first region of the outer surface of each container (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16) is adjacent to the outer surface of one of the several containers (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16) of the multipack, thus hiding the unitary code. The second region of the outer surface of at least one (15) of the several containers (11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16) is visible from the outside of the multipack.

A computer system generates information describing authenticity and a grade of a collectible scanned by a scanning device. A feature vector is extracted from the information. The feature vector includes a first set of features and a second set of features. The first set of features is matched to authenticity profiles of collectible items. Each authenticity profile characterizes at least one collectible item across multiple features. A confidence score is generated with respect to the authenticity of the collectible based on the authenticity profiles. The second set of features is matched to grade profiles of the collectible items. A grade score describing the grade of the collectible is generated based on the grade profiles. The grade of the collectible is determined based on the grade score. A graphical representation of the grade and the confidence score is transmitted to a display device.

A packaging container (102) for storing products, the packaging container (102) comprises: a packaging container blank (102a) in open form for feeding in a container feeding holder (104), wherein the packaging container blank (102a) is a printed packaging container blank that includes a window cut out (126), fold lines (128a-128d), flaps (130a-130n), tabs (132a-132m), panels (134a-134d) or a combination thereof; a strapped leaflet unit (118) placed in a magazine of a folder and gluer unit (106), wherein the strapped leaflet unit (118) have a leaflet (114) and a dosage card (116) strapped in a strapping material; and adhesive drops dropped from the adhesive applicators (110a-110n) applied on one of on one of the panels (134a-134d) with the window cut (126) during the travel of the container blank (102a) over the conveyor (108).
