CAN LID
A can lid comprising: a main body comprising a laminate metal sheet, the laminate metal sheet comprising a metal sheet and a first resin film on a major surface of the metal sheet, the major surface having a score line delimiting an opening piece, the first resin film comprising a first resin layer comprising a dimer acid-copolymerized polyester resin and being amorphous; and a tab attached to the main body and adapted to cause a cleavage along the score line.
RAPIDLY COOLING FOOD AND DRINKS
Systems and methods have demonstrated the capability of rapidly cooling the contents of pods containing the ingredients for food and drinks.
Folding tamper-proof case and methods thereof
The disclosed systems and methods relate to improved tamper-proof cases for securely storing and shipping products. A case can include a back panel, two sidewalls, an upper foldable section, and a lower foldable section. Each of the features of the case can be manufactured on a single sheet of material. The upper and lower foldable sections include panels having apertures for holding the top and bottom of a product, respectively. The upper foldable section includes one or more fasteners that secures the upper foldable section to the sidewalls. Once secured, the products cannot be removed from the case without showing evidence of the removal. The disclosed systems also provide a tear strip and/or a tear corner that can be used to release the products from the sealed case.
Resealable container lid and accessories including methods of manufacture and use
A container lid assembly including a rotational and axial guide feature extending radially from an interior surface of a lid sidewall. The rotational and axial guide feature is designed to provide axial translation and retention of a cap or other accessory when the cap (accessory) is rotationally engaged with the lid sidewall. The cap and lid can include an interface that creates a liquid and gas impervious seal therebetween. The seal can be provided between a bottom surface of the cap and the top surface of the lid, a feature of the sidewalls of the cap and the lid, or any other sealing interface. The lid can include a score line defining a tear panel, wherein the tear panel can be opened when the score line is fractured. The score line can be fractured using a stay-on-tab, an incisor, a shearing force, etc.

Shell with expandable rivet button and tooling therefor
A can end including a central panel with an expandable bubble disposed thereon is provided. The use of an expandable bubble allows for an expandable rivet button and thereafter an expandable rivet that has an enhanced overlap of a tab body. Such an expandable rivet allows for the use of a metal sheet with a thinner base thickness.
RESEALABLE POP TOP LID
A pop top lid encloses a cylindrical fluid container. The pop top lid includes an end shell having an off-center scored line defining a tear panel; and a stay-on tab assembly riveted through a central portion to the end shell for rotation. An aperture point is attached to a central portion and rotatably positioned proximate to an inner edge of the scored line. A shearing edge is attached to the central portion and radially extending behind the aperture point. An actuator portion is attached to the central portion opposite to the aperture point, is liftable as a first-degree lever to form an aperture at the scored line with the aperture point, and is rotatable to insert the shearing edge into the aperture shearing the scored line to remove the tear panel from the end shell.
Rapidly cooling food and drinks
Systems and methods have demonstrated the capability of rapidly cooling the contents of pods containing the ingredients for food and drinks.
Method for producing sanitary cover for beverage can
A method for manufacturing a sanitary cover for a beverage can and relates to a technique for forming a cutting line along a circumferential surface of a sanitary cover while the sanitary cover is covering a beverage can, thereby maximizing the production efficiency of the sanitary cover having improved functionality. Also, the technique which, in three-dimensionally forming a cutting line as such, can carry out the process of forming the cutting line easily and rapidly via a simple structure, thereby increasing the production efficiency even further.
CONTAINER END CLOSURE LINER AND METHODS OF PREPARING THE SAME
Disclosed herein is an improved metal or glass container. The metal or glass container includes a body portion and an end closure. The end closure includes a laminated polymer film attached to the product facing side of the end closure. When the container is sealed, the laminated polymer film attached to the product facing side of the end closure forms a liner.
