A multiple compartment container includes a push tab assembly having a series of push tabs connected together as a one-piece molded assembly. The container has lids that are molded in a single piece with the base of the container.

A blister packaging machine that manufactures a blister pack, wherein the blister pack comprises: a lidded container that includes a container main body and an outer lid portion; and an inner cover film attached to close the opening of the container main body, the blister packaging machine comprising: a conveyor; a molding device that executes a molding process to a strip-shaped container film and form a lidded container-corresponding part corresponding to the lidded container; a placing device that is disposed downstream of the molding device and places the article in a container part; a sealing device that is disposed downstream of the placing device and attaches the inner cover film to close an opening of the container part; and a punching device that is disposed downstream of the sealing device and punches out the lidded container-corresponding part along with the inner cover film to produce the blister pack.

The invention relates to a carrier for pharmaceutical compositions, the carrier comprising at least a first and a second portion. Each of the first and second portions comprises at least two cavities for housing pharmaceutical composition, and at least one cover sheet covering said at least two cavities. The cavities of the first and second portions are arranged so that the first and second portions can be placed in an overlapping configuration with the cavities of the first portion positioned in spaces between the cavities of the second portion. At least one of the cavities of the first portion comprises at least one bulge, and at least one of the cavities of the second portion comprises at least one depression adapted to engage with said at least one bulge to form a mutual engagement between the first and second portions. By this engagement, mutual movement of the first and second portions is restricted, so that a rigid structure is produced. The invention further relates to a pharmaceutical package such a carrier and a container for holding said carrier.

The present invention provides a coating material that can improve gravure printing characteristics of the printing surface of a printing substrate to favorably transfer an ink fed in the cell of a gravure printing roll to the printing surface of the printing substrate, thereby achieving the beautiful gravure printing. The coating material of the present invention is a coating material for forming a surface layer serving as a printing surface on a printing substrate to which gravure printing is to be applied, and the coating material is characterized by including a pigment including an inorganic particulate and a skin layer that is formed on a surface of the inorganic particulate and includes an organic compound.

A blister packaging comprises a thermoformed web (30) with cavities (10) for a product formed therein, comprising at least two co-extruded layers: a main layer (34) comprising HDPE and up to 2% of a first additive, and a sealing layer (36) comprising HDPE and at most 50% of LLDPE, and a flat lid (20), comprising at least three co-extruded layers: an outer HDPE layer (22) containing up to 5% of a second additive, an intermediate HDPE layer (24) comprising a third additive suitable to decrease elongation at break, and an inner sealing layer (26), wherein the thermoformed web (30) and the flat lid (20) are heat-sealed together. The invention further relates to a packaged pharmaceutical or nutritional product comprising a comprising such a blister packaging, and a pharmaceutical or nutritional product (40) in solid form contained in the cavities. It further relates to a method for producing such a product.

A device for organizing and securing a plurality of pill bottles includes a container with an insert having cutout for receiving pill bottles. Some embodiments have a lid or closure. In some preferred embodiments, the pill bottles are received in the cutouts of the insert in a friction fit so that the pill bottles are held securely in place. In some embodiments the lid may be provided with a key or combination lock to prevent unauthorized access to the medication.

A tablet container includes a rigid jacket with a closed end, an open end, and an interior. A cover is on the open end of the jacket and a desiccant body disposed within the jacket to impound residual moisture retained within the jacket interior subsequent to fixation of the cover to the open end of the jacket. Unit dose tablet packages and methods of making tablet containers and unit dose tablet packages are also described.

A canister for an automated pharmacy packaging machine includes: a base; a rotary member positioned in the base; a sleeve mounted to the base having a cavity; a diverter mounted to the sleeve and extending into the cavity, the diverter having a leading edge; and a cover mounted to the sleeve. The diverter is oriented at an oblique angle relative to a longitudinal axis of the sleeve.

Disclosed herein are modular container systems having child-resistant containers, tray inserts and tray frames. Also disclosed are methods using the modular container systems and methods of storing substances in containers. The containers have a container base and a container cap and provide for child-resistant containers. A user can releasably remove the container cap from container base with a squeeze and lift sequence. For example, the user squeezes opposite sides of the container base, which releases a locking mechanism and allows for removal of the cap by lifting or pulling the container cap off from the container base. The components of the modular container system are modular and stackable. The modular system allow for organized, efficient, accessible and storage of the child-resistant containers. The modular container system also allows for easy counting, sorting and processing of the containers.
