A package for containing items having a flip-open package closure is provided. In some embodiments, the package includes a rigid package body and a flexible closure flap. The flexible closure flap is coupled to a hangtab portion of the package body such that the flexible closure flap moves from a closed position to an open position with respect to the package body based on a position of the hangtab portion. An upper edge of a front side of the package body engages the lower portion of the closure flap when the package is closed, while the lower edge of the closure flap is released from the upper edge upon pivoting backward of the hangtab portion. Such pivoting of the hangtab portion, and corresponding manipulation of the closure flap, may occur without directly contacting the closure flap.

A container for holding at least one article includes a body extending at least partially around an interior of the container, a closed top engaged with the body, a closed bottom engaged with the body, and a barrier member positioned in the interior of the container, the barrier member comprising a laminate structure that includes at least one polymeric layer with an uninterrupted lower portion.

A display package for a consumer product includes a base, a surround window positioned upon the base, and a top cover positioned upon the surround window. Each of the front, back, and two opposed side walls include a respective edge defining an upper perimeter of each of the walls and each of the front, back, and two opposed side walls include a respective edge defining a lower perimeter of each of the walls, wherein these upper and lower edges are constructed such that when the surround window is positioned upon the base and the top cover is positioned upon the surround window the front exposed surface area is greater than the back exposed surface area and wherein when the surround window is removed from between the base and top cover, the edges of the top cover are constructed to mate in a close fitting relationship with the edges of the base.

A system and a method for a cup for retaining a liquid comprising a base, a wall, the base and the wall defining a container with a space to retain the liquid, a first closure flap and a second closure flap, the first closure flap and second closure flap attached to the wall and extending from the wall, the first closure flap and the second closure flap being foldable relative to the wall, the first closure flap and second closure flap foldable between an open position and a closed position, wherein the first closure flap and the second closure flap defining a lid when in the closed position, and the lid being defined by a first closure flap being folded at least twice to a closed position and the second closure flap being folded at least once to a closed position.

A card based container has a tubular sidewall of laminate material and first and second end closures, sealed to the tubular sidewall to form a hermetically sealed package. The sidewall has an outer card layer, an inner hygienic layer and one or more sealing strips provided at an inner surface of the inner hygienic layer, located at connection locations where the sidewall seals to itself or to the respective end closures. The sealing strips include a heat-sealable polymer. The overall amount of non-paper content in the sidewall and in the package may thus be reduced.
