A package has a first side coupled to a second side to form a space for storing material therebetween, the space having a re-sealable proximal end and a distal end. The first side has a plurality of layers, the plurality of layers selected from the group consisting of selected from the group consisting of OPP (oriented polypropylene film), KRAFT paper, VMPET (vacuum metallized polyester film), PE (polyethylene plastic), and PET (polyethylene terephthalate). The re-sealable proximal end has a tear strip and a zipper engagement, the zipper engagement distal of the tear strip. The tear strip is configured to be torn off to expose the zipper engagement. The zipper engagement is re-sealable.

A blank for forming a tamper evident container includes a plurality of panels connected together at fold lines configured for extending at least partially around an interior space, including a first side panel, a top panel, a second side panel and a bottom panel. A bottom flap is foldably connected to an edge of the bottom panel on the first end of the blank. A top flap is foldably connected to an edge of the top panel on the first end of the blank. The bottom flap includes a major flap and a minor flap, the major flap connecting between the bottom panel and the minor flap. The top flap includes a catch point feature and wherein the minor flap includes a trap aperture configured to catch the catch point feature of the top flap when opening a container constructed from the blank to provide a tamper evident access feature.

A closure including a base, a cutter and a cap is described which is configured to be attached to a container. Upon initial removal of the cap from the base, the cutter is configured to move downwards relative to the base so as to create an opening through the container. The portion of the container through which the cutter creates an opening may be formed of a film that is configured to be easily pierceable by the cutter. Methods of molding the closure components may include co-molding the cutter and base an in integral unit so as to facilitate and expedite assembly of the base, cutter and cap components to form the closure.

A tamper-resistant air-permeable container includes a cover having a bottom that is formed with a first wall having primary troughs and primary blocks and formed with a retaining engagement portion; and a box including a receiving space and having a second wall that is provided with a first step part lower than the second wall and a second step part lower than the first step part to define forming therebetween a retaining engagement groove. The second wall is formed with secondary troughs, each including a curved section, such that each of the secondary troughs has a curved configuration. When the cover is combined with the box, the retaining engagement portions of the cover are fit into and retained in the retaining engagement groove. The primary troughs and the secondary troughs form passages in communication with the receiving space.

A container having a body with a closed lower portion, a middle portion adapted for storing contents, and a closeable upper portion, wherein a plurality of immediately adjacent circular apertures have been formed in and through the material of the closable upper portion; and an item adapted to cooperate with the closeable open upper portion, wherein the item includes identifying indicia regarding the stored contents, wherein the item cooperates with the closeable upper portion to make the closeable upper portion tamper-resistant after closure thereof, wherein the item includes a strip of paper or similar material having adhesive deposited on one side thereof, and wherein when the strip of paper is applied to the closable upper portion by folding the adhesive-bearing side of the strip over onto itself, the adhesive passes through each aperture in the plurality of immediately adjacent apertures causing the strip of paper to stick to itself.

A tamper resistant latching mechanism is provided with an insert tab and wings on a first section used in conjunction with a slot and release panel on an opposite hingedly connected section.

A blank for forming a tamper evident container includes a plurality of panels connected together at fold lines configured for extending at least partially around an interior space, including a first side panel, a top panel, a second side panel and a bottom panel. A bottom flap is foldably connected to an edge of the bottom panel on the first end of the blank. A top flap is foldably connected to an edge of the top panel on the first end of the blank. The top flap includes a major flap and a minor flap. The major flap connects between the top panel and the minor flap. The major flap includes a tamper evident access feature.

Disposable containers with a tamper indicative hatch for sample removal, methods of manufacturing and using the same are described; the containers are configured with a closure essentially obstructing the hatch, so that upon opening the hatch, the container bears a visually apparent indication that the closure has been subjected to tampering and opening.

The present disclosure relates to a tamper-evident and child-proof coupling system. The coupling system includes a first base portion, a second base portion, a slit, and a closing septum. The first base portion includes a first coupling portion. The second base portion includes a second coupling portion. The first and second coupling portions are configured to define a priming configuration of the coupling system when the first and second coupling portion are engaged to each other. The slit is defined on the first base portion or the second base portion and is configured to receive an opening device. The opening device is configured to disengage the first and second coupling portions. The closing septum is adjustable to a first or second configuration. In the first configuration, the closing septum occludes the slit. In the second configuration, the closing septum is configured to expose the slit.

A closure including a base, a cutter and a cap is described which is configured to be attached to a container. Upon initial removal of the cap from the base, the cutter is configured to move downwards relative to the base so as to create an opening through the container. The portion of the container through which the cutter creates an opening may be formed of a film that is configured to be easily pierceable by the cutter. Methods of molding the closure components may include co-molding the cutter and base an in integral unit so as to facilitate and expedite assembly of the base, cutter and cap components to form the closure.
