A lidding film to use in food packaging, or the packaging of suitable non-food products, includes a substrate having an outer major surface on which is disposed at least a 5 heat-sealing layer (HS layer), a non-heat-sealing layer (NTIS layer), and a hydrophobic coating. On a side of the lidding film that corresponds to the outer major surface of the substrate is a peripheral region that encircles a central region. At least a first portion of the HS layer fills the peripheral region, and the NIS layer is absent as a cover on, or does not cover, the HIS layer in the peripheral region. At least a first portion of the NHS layer fills the 10 central region, and the HS layer is absent as a cover on, or does not cover, the NIS layer in the central region.

A beverage can for carbonated soft drinks, beer, and other pressurized uses includes a drawn and ironed can body, a highly necked portion, and an relatively small end that is attached to the can body by a double seam.

A beverage can end for pressurized contents includes a score that defines a pair of The lobes have longitudinal axes that are not mutually parallel and in some embodiments substantially perpendicular to improve flow.

A vented metal can end is provided. The can end includes a tab and a tab rivet. The can end includes an outer score and a vent score. The vent score is formed in the end wall and located beneath the nose of the tab. The vent score is positioned such that the tab rivet is located between the vent score and the center point of the end wall and the vent score is also located between the outer score and the tab rivet.

A metallic container end closure is provided that generally comprises a primary pour opening and an extended or secondary score which is opened with a secondary tool to form a secondary pour opening. The fact that a secondary tool is required allows the secondary score to be shallower, and thus more secure than deeper scores that are openable by finger pressure alone. Once the secondary tool is used to fracture the secondary score, a secondary pour opening is produced adjacent to the primary pour opening to form a larger opening. A user may insert materials such as ice or oranges through the enlarged pour opening.

A can end including a central panel and a coined rivet disposed on the central panel. A press, a station, and/or a tooling assembly structured to form a coined rivet as well as a method to form the coined rivet is also provided.

What the present invention discloses belongs to the technical field of aluminum hoses, and in particular relates to a one-time punch formed aluminum hose whose head can be broken and used as a plug. A broken part is provided between an extrusion head and a plugging head, so that the connection between the extrusion head and the plugging head is relatively fragile. A user breaks the broken part to realize the separation of the plugging head from the extrusion head, and at the same time, the other end of the plugging head is inserted into an extrusion port and is in an interference fit with the extrusion port, thus achieving the effect of plugging.
