Closure assembly comprising a spout (1) and a cap (2) including a tamper-evident ring (3). The spout (1) has a neck (14) around a product passage (15) and a wall (10). The wall is spaced from the neck (14) to form an inner space (11) which is open from above to receive the tamper-evident ring (3). The tamper-evident ring (3) is integrally moulded via breakable bridges (34) to the cap and comprises a base portion (32) with at least one snap portion (33) at abase portion outer face (32a). The wall (10) of the spout (1) comprises at least one window (16), wherein the at least one snap portion (33) fits inside the window (16) to snap the tamper-evident ring (3) to the spout (1) when the tamper-evident ring (3) is inserted in the inner space (11).

In a reclosable folding box (41, 42, 43) having a safety and tamper-evident closure (84), the side wall surfaces (2 to 6, 64, 65) of which are formed by a one-piece blank (1, 1a, 1b) and glued together in such a way that the folding box (41, 42, 43) cannot be opened without destroying a glued joint and/or at least one disconnectable tear line area (16, 17, 16a, 16b, 17a, 17b), a solution for a reclosable medical packaging having a safety and tamper-evident closure is to be created, which provides an improved graspability and visual recognizability of a pull tab forming at least the substantial part of the safety and tamper-evident closure. This is achieved by the fact that the pull tab (18) reaches a folding box edge (39, 52) with an edge-side boundary line (85) and is printed on a folding box outer side with a first linear pattern (20), in particular a guilloche pattern, extending at least in part with at least one pattern line beyond the tear line area(s) (16, 17, 16a, 16b, 17a, 17b), which first linear pattern (20) adjoins an area (21, 22) visible from the folding box outer side and printed in contrast color with respect to the first linear pattern (20), which is formed in a way to encompass, at least to include the pull tab (18), in the area of an edge-side limiting edge (86) of the pull tab (18) on the outer side on a first side wall surface (2), or which is formed in the area of the boundary line (85) at least on a surface area of a second side wall surface (3) facing the folding box outer side and covered by the pull tab (18), as well on the outer side of a third side wall surface (4) hinged to the second side wall surface (3) and adjoining the pull tab (18), in a way to graduate into the same.

A resealable cap includes a container top comprising a plurality of protrusions extending inward assembly includes a beauty cap positioned on a top of the cap assembly that has an interface extending along a midpoint of the beauty cap and also includes a lug cap coupled to the beauty cap and including a lug cap interface positioned about a perimeter of the lug cap and configured to receive the plurality of protrusions. A tamper insert is coupled to the beauty cap at an underside of the beauty cap and positioned within the interface.

Packaging for tobacco industry products is disclosed. The packaging comprises a pack for holding tobacco industry products, and an outer wrapper enveloping the pack. The outer wrapper comprises a removable portion arranged to prevent opening of the pack until the removable portion has been removed. One of the pack and the removable portion comprises a tamper evident feature that remains attached to the other of the pack or the removable portion after the removable portion is removed from the pack. A method of packaging tobacco industry products is also disclosed.

A one piece closure has a distal section, a proximal section, and an intermediate section. The intermediate section has a cylindrical center with a first annular fold extending radially inwardly and a second annular fold extending radially inwardly. The first and second folds are parallel forming an annular channel there between extending for less than 360 degrees creating a gap. The cylindrical center is formed with a hole. A C-shaped snap ring is positioned within the annular channel. The snap ring has spaced free ends. The snap ring has a projection sized to extend into the hole in the cylindrical center. The projection of the snap ring is of a first color. The remainder of the snap ring is of a second color.

A tamper-evident closure (101) comprises a first portion (105, 106) and a second portion (102, 104) comprising a window (103) through which a view of the first portion (105, 106) is visible. The second portion (102, 104) is rotated relative to the first portion (105, 106) upon first opening of the tamper-evident closure (101), from a first position in which the first and second portions (105, 106; 102, 104) are in a first relative relation and a first view of the first portion (105, 106) is visible through the window (103), to a second position in which the first and second portions (105, 106; 102, 104) are in a second relative relation and a second, different view of the first portion (105, 106) is visible through the window (103). A locking mechanism irreversibly locks the first and second portions (105, 106; 102, 104) in the second relative relation.

Track and trace packaging is disclosed which may also be damage indicating. Track and trace functionality may be incorporated on, in or near the packaging at various stages of a supply chain. A damage indicating material can be incorporated into a variety of packaging substrates, which may change color when exposed to oxygen, excessive heat and/or excessive pressure. An anti-counterfeiting taggant material may be used to provide track and trace capabilities. Exemplary products with which the present track and trace packaging may be used include packaged condoms, food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, cannabis and the like.

Damage indicating packaging is disclosed. A damage indicating material may be applied between inner and outer wrapper layers. When the damage indicating material is exposed to oxygen, excessive heat and/or excessive pressure, the material changes in appearance to thereby alert the user that the package may be compromised. The damage indicating material may include an anti-counterfeiting taggant material. Active and intelligent tamper-evident packaging is thus provided.

A tamper-evident product and related methods of production. A container includes a neck, and a tamper-evidencing component separate from the container and carried by the neck of the container in direct contact with a corresponding portion of the container neck. The component is composed of material that has higher thermal conductivity than that of a material of the container so as to concentrate heat in the corresponding portion of the container neck. The neck is thermally responsive to application of heat pursuant to tampering with the product by at least one of the following responses: an irreversible change in visual appearance of the corresponding portion of the container neck, or fracture of the container neck at the corresponding portion of the container neck.

A product includes a container, and an indicator carried inside the container, and including an air-reactive material and a protective material on the air-reactive material, and having a first visible characteristic with the protective material, and a second visible characteristic when exposed to air without the protective material. A package including the product, and a method for making the package are also disclosed.
