A container including a base having a first flange extending from a side of the base; a lid having a second flange extending from a side of the lid, wherein the first flange and second flange are coupled together at a living hinge, a first perforation cut positioned on the first flange or the second flange, a plurality of bubbles or raised portions positioned on the flange which does not have the first perforation cut, wherein the bubbles or raised portions are positioned over the first perforation cut when the lid is closed on the base, wherein when the bubbles or raised portions are pressed down onto the first perforation cut, the first perforation cut is broken to separate the lid from the base, and wherein the bubbles or raised portions are deformed when they are depressed to provide a visual indication that the container has been opened.

A tamper evident container includes a cover with a first interlocking flange with a first tab for opening the container and a first extension joined to the first tab along a first frangible score line, a base with a second interlocking flange with a second tab for opening the container and a second extension joined to the second tab along a second frangible score line, a rim extending around a perimeter of the base, the rim having a flat portion connected to an outer wall, and a flange portion extending from the outer wall portion, wherein a position of the flat portion and the flange portion correspond to a sheet line, and wherein the first and second interlocking flanges, when securely fastened together, prevent access to the first and second tabs, and require more force to separate than to sever the first and second extensions along the frangible score lines.

A tamper evident feature for a container is provided. The tamper evident feature may include a locking tab connected to a wall panel or cover panel of the container and a receiving slot provided on the opposing cover panel or wall panel of the container. The locking tab may include an outer terminal edge and a slit extending laterally across the locking tab. The slit may provide a cut edge extending partially across an intermediate portion of the locking tab and allow for a tab end portion to bend relative to the remainder of the locking tab. The receiving slot may include a receiving slit defined into the cover panel of the container and configured to receive the locking tab. The receiving slit may provide a receiving edge that engages with the cut edge of the locking tab to secure the cover panel in a closed position.

Disclosed is a packaging item including a tray and a sleeve inside which the tray is slidably mounted in a longitudinal direction. The packaging further includes at least one tamper-proof element of the packaging, such tamper-proof element including a first section integral with the tray, and a second section linked by at least one line of weakness to the sleeve. The or each line of weakness opens into a longitudinal end edge of the sleeve.

The present invention is directed to containers and packaging that incorporate novel tamper evident features. In particular, the containers of the present invention comprise newly designed tamper evident linkages, i.e., wedged fracture tabs. In addition, the present invention provides novel methods of improving tamper security of packages or containers by incorporating distinguishing printed graphics on the tamper evident component (e.g., frangible hinge, frangible tear strip, or wedged fracture tabs) of the present invention.

The present invention relates to a security closure system and devices for containers, which can be used in any type of container and can be validated by means of simple sight and touch, thereby being tamper-resistant and preventing any adulteration by means of the non-authorised re-use of the original container. The system and devices are preferably used in containers made from vitreous materials such as ceramics, plastics and thermoplastics, owing to the properties of stiffness. The devices of the invention can be used for any product and any type of container, such as bottles for alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks, containers for cosmetics, perfumes, drugs, food and valuable items such as watches, electronics or fine jewelry.

A device for accurately cutting off a seal securing the connection between a lid and a container or between parts of a container, as well as to a system consisting of a lid, a container, a seal, and a cutting device are disclosed. The cutting device makes it possible to open a closure secured with a seal without requiring any additional manipulations and renders the seal cutting process smooth.

Tamper-evident features for containers. A tamper-evident film is target printed onto a sheet material that is thermoformable. The sheet is thermoformed into a container base or lid having a desired shape, such that the tamper-evident film is positioned in a desired area. A container lid is disposed on the container base, and heat sealed to a rim or edge of the container base. The heat sealing activates an adhesive of the tamper-evident film, and when the container lid is removed or separated from the container base, a first portion of the tamper-evident film remains on the container lid and a second portion remains on the container base. The separation of the tamper-evident film provides an indication of tampering.

A tamper-evident structure for securing a lid to a container of a carton for holding a food product includes a plurality of panels having a top panel and at least one side panel, and at least one panel of the plurality of panels is for being attached to at least one of the lid and the container of the carton. At least one indicating feature provides indication that the lid has been at least partially removed from the container.
