An exemplary tamper evident tub is disclosed. In various embodiments, the exemplary tub includes one or more breakable tabs in near proximity to a lid latching assembly. The one or more breakable tabs, in particular embodiments, prevent access to one or more lift tabs and latches, while the tamper evident tub lid is in a closed position. In various embodiments, the one or more lift tabs and latches are operable to allow for the lid to be opened from a closed position. In some embodiments, removing the breakable tabs allows access to the one or more lift tabs and latches, and further indicates that the exemplary tub has been tampered with.

A capsule includes a cap pivotally attached to a base by means of a hinge, and a tamper-evident device. The tamper-evident device includes a radial lug; an orifice for housing the lug, one contour of which is closed by a tongue, a first end of which is connected by a frangible bridge and a second end of which is connected by a flexible bridge, so that when the cap is opened for the first time, a retention face for retaining the lug hooks onto the tongue and causes the breakage of the frangible bridge and the pivoting of the tongue about the flexible bridge. The retention face for retaining the lug extends radially so that the tongue pivots about a radial axis.

A flexible package having a tamper evident product authentication label secured thereto and methods of making the same are provided. The package includes at least one panel having a heat seal line. The label has an outer surface with authentication indicia appearing thereon and an inner surface adhesively secured to the package adjacent the heat seal line. The label includes peripheral portions that are frangible, with one of the frangible peripheral portions of the label being located within a portion of the area made up by the heat seal line. Accordingly, attempted removal of the label from the package will cause the label to tear, leaving at least a portion of the peripheral edge of the label secured to the package to thereby prevent reuse of the label.

The invention relates to a plastic container having a tamper evident lid and methods therefor, and particularly to a plastic container having a two-component pull-tab attached to part of the lid at its edge which is used to pull the lid off the container, where the pull-tab has a frangible break line where the act of pulling the pull-tab breaks an outer section away from an inner locked down tab, and once the frangible section is broken, provides evidence that the container was opened, since both parts of the pull-tab are now separated and the outer one bent upwards at an angle.

The present invention refers to a tamper-evident container comprising: a store defining an internal volume and exhibiting a passage opening delimited by a free edge; a closure system engaged at the free edge and movable with respect to the store between a closure condition and an opening one; a safety device engaged at least partially with the store and at least partially with the closure system. The safety system comprises a breakage portion configured for separating from at least one between said closure system and store following a first opening of the closure system. The container comprises an electric circuit defined at least partially on the breakage portion of the safety device; said circuit being configured for changing at least one between an electric property and a physical property following the first opening of the closure system. The present invention further refers to a process of making the container.

An applicator for a fluid ingredient includes at least one storage chamber, at least one first predetermined breaking point or line configured in or at the storage chamber, and an actuation mechanism. The storage chamber has an outlet end with an initially sealed outlet via which a fluid ingredient can be output. The actuation mechanism is arranged at the storage chamber, and has at least one activation part capable of being displaced relative to the outlet end and by which at least one part or section of the storage chamber is capable of being axially displaced to activate the at least one first predetermined breaking point or line, on an activation of the applicator.

A tamper-evident container includes a base and a lid. A base extension and a lid extension are connected to a hinge to join the base and the lid together in a closed, pre-use configuration. A tab extends from either the lid extension or the base extension in a direction away from the lid and the base such that the tab extends beyond the hinge. The tab is joined to one of the extensions via weakened regions that can be torn when the tab is pulled to indicate that the container has been tampered with or opened.

A dual use box includes a side panel enclosure defining a top end and a bottom end; a first primary top panel extending from the top end and comprising a primary adhesive; a second primary top panel extending from the top, wherein the primary adhesive is configured to attach the first primary top panel to the second primary top panel; a first secondary top panel extending from the top end and comprising a secondary adhesive; a second secondary top panel extending from the top end, wherein the secondary adhesive is configured to attach the first secondary top panel to the second secondary top panel; a primary delivery address label formed separately from and affixed to the first primary top panel; and a secondary delivery address label formed separately from and affixed to the first secondary top panel.

A closure for a container of the kind use to deliver milk and juice. The closure is a two-piece construction comprise of a lid and a base. The closure preferably has overall dimensions that approximate a standard unitary cap use with the same containers, so that the closure can easily be used with standard feeding equipment in a bottling facility. The closure has a hinge that is formed of a post connected by a tab to the lid, and hinge supports extending upwardly from the closure's base. The hinge supports include a hook and a bridge. The hook allows the tab to slide under the hook during assembly of the lid to the base. Once the tab is positioned between hook and the bridge, the hook blocks disassembly of the lid from the base. The post of the hinge assembly fits within tunnel sections formed by the hook and the bridge, and gripping forces applied by the hook and/or bridge hold the lid in an open position when contents are poured from the container. In an alternative embodiment, the post of the hinge has a rounded protrusion extending axially along the length of the post. A ledge on the upper surface of the base is engaged by the rounded protrusion to hold the lid in a partially open position.

The technology disclosed herein includes a storage apparatus comprising an inner sleeve, including a first tab including memory-inducing laminated material, a second tab including memory-inducing laminated material, and an inner sleeve storage compartment; and an outer sleeve encompassing the inner sleeve when the storage apparatus is locked, and including a first aperture for receiving the first tab in a first locking mechanism, and a second aperture for receiving the second tab in a second locking mechanism.
