A tamper-resistant, sealable container, comprising a container having a bottom portion, a top portion, and a plurality of sidewalls extending between the bottom portion and the top portion, wherein the bottom and top portions and sidewalls define an interior of the container and an exterior of the container; and a plurality of strips of self-sealing, pressure-sensitive adhesive disposed on surfaces of the container, wherein the strips of self-sealing, pressure-sensitive adhesive do not engage one another when the container is in an open configuration, wherein the strips of self-sealing, pressure-sensitive adhesive do engage one another when the container is in a closed configuration, and wherein the engagement of the strips of self-sealing pressure-sensitive adhesive with one another seals the container closed in a tamper-resistant manner.

A seat for an aircraft comprises a compartment and a seal system. The seal system comprises a first tab connected to a first portion of the compartment, a second tab connected to a second portion of the compartment, and a piece of adhesive material connecting the first tab to the second tab.

A container closure and methods are disclosed for providing visible evidence of removal of the closure from a container after installation by a manufacturer. The closure includes tamper evidence bridges comprising small tabs of material that extend from a bottom-most edge of the closure to a tamper evidence ledge of the container. The bridges break when the closure is rotated relative to the tamper evidence ledge, thereby providing readily visible evidence that the closure has been removed after installation by the manufacturer. In some embodiments, a tamper evidence closure engages with threads of a finish of the container. Cam locks around the perimeter of the tamper evidence closure are permanently flared by cams on the finish during loosening of the closure. Outward flaring of the cam locks provides a visual indication that the tamper evidence closure has been loosened after installation by a manufacturer.

A tamper resistant box system and method including a roll of tape for dispensing sections of a tape and string assembly. The tape and string assembly having a tape-member with string running integral with and center-parallel to the tape-member. At least one of the sections of the tape and string assembly is configured to be adhered to a food container and seal contents within in a tamper resistant manner. When the sections of tape and string assembly are removed and tampered with, evidence of tampering is visually displayed for a consumer.

A hang tab assembly includes a paper outer layer and inner layer. The outer layer may include a hanging panel, a tear-away panel adjacent to the hanging panel, a first kiss-cut path on an upper surface of the outer layer, and a second kiss-cut path on a lower surface of the tear-away panel, the second kiss-cut path offset from the first. The assembly may include a first adhesive disposed on the lower surface of the tear-away panel, and a second adhesive disposed on a lower surface of the inner layer facing away from the outer layer. The outer layer may include a tear-away portion that tears transversely between offset kiss-cut paths to unseal a sealed package and expose internal paper material to provide visual indication that the package has been unsealed.

A product preparation system and method for processing a container including a cup body and a cup closure assembly configured for removable operative engagement with the cup body, the cup closure assembly including a hinged spout cover and a user-removable multi-function restricting portion integrally formed as part of the cup closure assembly and detachable therefrom, the user-removable multi-function restricting portion being operative, when integrally attached to the cup closure assembly to prevent normal user opening of the hinged spout cover.

The present invention relates generally to a container that may be sealed and reclosed with a threaded closure. More specifically, the present invention relates to methods of manufacturing a metallic container having an opening with inwardly facing threads. The threads are formed on the metallic container by pressing a neck portion of the metallic container against closure threads of a threaded closure which is inserted at least partially into the opening. The container threads may optionally be formed while the threaded closure is in tension. In this manner, after the container threads are formed, the closure threads can apply a force to the container threads such that the threaded closure is in tension. The container opening may be selectively sealed and reclosed with the threaded closure which releasably engages the container threads. Novel apparatus and methods of sealing metallic containers and forming threads on the metallic containers are also disclosed.

A package includes a first side, a second side and a hinge. As the first side and the second side pivot around the hinge, the first side and the second side make transition between a closed state and an opened state. The first side includes a first fitting portion in a projecting shape, a rigid portion provided in a partial section on a line that goes around the first fitting portion, and a first weak portion provided in a remaining section on the line that goes around the first fitting portion and being lower in rigidity than the rigid portion. The second side includes a second fitting portion in a recessed shape and fitted to the first fitting portion in the closed state and a second weak portion provided on a line that goes around the second fitting portion and being lower in rigidity than the rigid portion.
