A method that includes forming two opposing slots in a container that includes a closed lower portion, a middle portion adapted for storing contents, and a closeable open upper portion, and wherein the two opposing slots are formed the closeable upper portion of the container; printing identifying indicia regarding the stored contents on an outer surface of a strip of paper or strip of material similar to paper; depositing adhesive on opposing ends of an inner surface of the strip; looping the strip through the two opposing slots in the closeable upper portion of the container after the contents have been stored in the middle portion of the container; and closing the upper portion of the bag in a tamper-resistant manner by adhering the opposing ends of the inner surface of the strip to one another using the adhesive, wherein the upper portion of the bag cannot be reopened without removing the strip, wherein removing the strip damages the strip, and wherein the damage to the strip provides evidence of container tampering.

A flip straw cup assembly haying a container body, a lid that may be detachable and a straw assembly. The lid includes a flip straw that is biased towards an extended position and retractable into a recess and securable by a flip lock. The straw assembly includes a straw body, a cap and a resealable seam extending the longitudinal length of the straw body that is adapted to open the straw body for cleaning.

The storage tote has a main body and a lid. The main body includes a bottom section, a plurality of sidewalls defining an open end, and a rim formed in the sidewalls adjacent the open end of the main body. The lid includes a base and a lip disposed adjacent the base, the lid adapted to cover the open end of the main body. The lip includes a plurality of latch receiving section, each of the latch receiving section includes at least one lock receiving section. A seal is disposed adjacent the lip of the lid and abuts the rim of the main body when the lid is covering the open end of the main body. The storage tote has at least one latch. The latch is connected to the main body of the storage tote and includes at least one locking mechanism.

A closure for sealingly closing a container neck having a tubular body with a top wall, an annular side wall, an intermediate wall joining the side wall to the top wall and an annular tamper evidence band frangibly connected to an open end described by the side wall. The band includes retaining cams protruding from its inner surface. Each cam has a lead-in ramp for engaging, in use, the flange of a container neck as the neck is introduced into the open end of the body and a stop for engaging the flange to separate the band from the body when the closure is subsequently removed from the neck. Each lead-in ramp has a central recess therein.

A closure can close an outlet of a vessel. The vessel outlet can comprise a tubular cavity with an interior surface. The closure can comprise a male portion comprising a distal undersized portion, a proximal oversized portion, and a taper between the undersized and oversized portion. The male portion can be inserted in the vessel outlet, undersized portion first, to close the vessel. A releasable catch can facilitate closing and opening the vessel repeatedly. A pull ring can support opening the vessel or closing the vessel or toting the vessel or any combination of opening, closing, and toting the vessel. The pull ring can have one or more associated hinges.

The present application provides a ventable package capable of releasing pressure upon the application of heat or internal pressure. The ventable package may include a container and a lid. The lid may include a sealing layer attached to the container and a foil layer attached to the sealing layer. The sealing layer may include one or more slits therein such that, upon the application of heat or internal pressure, the foil layer separates from the sealing layer about the one or more slits to release the pressure therein.

A container having tamper evident and resistant features includes a tray, a cover, and a blocking wall that prevents direct access to a peripheral cover lip of the cover when the cover is in a closed position on the tray. The container includes at least one tab that prevents direct access to the peripheral cover lip and which is at least partially separable from the container along at least one line of weakness to provide access to the peripheral cover lip for removing the cover from the tray. The tab further includes an interference element that inhibits replacement of the tab into its original position with respect to the container after the at least one line of weakness have been severed.

A packaging article (2) comprising a blister shell (6) and a blister card (4); the blister card (4) comprises a first layer (12) and a second layer (14) arranged to form a groove; wherein the blister shell (6) is configured to be held by the groove and the blister shell (6) is slidable along the groove to remove the blister shell (6) from the blister card (4).

A container assembly includes a container body having a side wall encircling an axis, and a metal end for attachment to an upper edge of the side wall via heat-sealing. The outer peripheral region is shaped prior to application to the container body such that an annular channel is defined between an inner chuck wall and an outer chuck wall of the metal end. The metal end is pushed straight onto the side wall such that the upper edge of the side wall is received into the channel. The surfaces of the side wall and the opposing surfaces of the chuck walls have heat-sealable material thereon. The metal end is heated to melt and fuse the heat-sealable layers, thereby sealing the metal end onto the side wall. The metal end is shaped such that the free edge of the outer chuck wall is not exposed.

The present invention is directed to containers for holding non-food items having a living hinge and a quad or multi seal structure on the lid such that the seal created by the contact of the lid with the inside of the cup or container ensures a secure, friction fit orientation to prevent spillage or leakage of the contents therein. The quad or multi directional seal is created by multiple ribs on the lid that securably fit within the base of the container and indentations oriented in the bases, or by multiple ribs on the lid that securably fit within a channel structure in the top of the base of the container, the channel structure having the indentations in order to create a secure fit.
