A system and method for controlling oxygen ingress in cap closures is disclosed. According to one embodiment, an apparatus includes a cap and a cap liner. The cap liner includes a first diffusive layer and a semi-diffusive layer. A first side of the semi-diffusive layer is adjacent to the first diffusive layer, where the semi-diffusive layer has a lower oxygen transmission rate than that of the first diffusive layer. The cap liner further includes a second diffusive layer, where a first side of the second diffusive layer is adjacent to a second side of the semi-diffusive layer, and the semi-diffusive layer has a lower oxygen transmission rate than that of the second diffusive layer. The oxygen transmission rate of the cap liner is controlled by varying a thickness of the semi-diffusive layer.

A container lid and base assembly includes lid and base stacking features, as well as base chamfers that align with vents provided in the lid. When a plurality of the container assemblies is stacked, the lid and base stacking features nest with each other, while the chamfers align with corresponding vents in the stacked assemblies so that none of the vents is blocked by a next-higher container assembly. The stacking features can be centrally located, and the vents can be peripherally located. A plurality of the container assemblies can have differing sizes and/or shapes, while including mutually compatible stacking features, thereby enabling container assemblies of differing sizes to be stacked without blocking any of the vents thereof. The vents can be holes or C vents. The lid and/or base can be manufacturable by thermoforming. The lid and base can be separate, or joined by a hinge.

A lid for mounting on a cup opening defined by a brim of a cup body includes a cover having a substantially planar portion and a recessed opening disposed on the cover; a side wall disposed around the periphery of the cover; a flange extended from the bottom edge of the side wall and forms a trench space for accommodating the brim of the cup body when the lid is mounted on the cup opening; and a breathable film disposed below the substantially planar portion and covered the recessed opening of the cover. The cover and the breathable film of the present lid are integrally formed into a single piece.

Containers for storing food in a storage compartment may include a base portion of the container. The storage compartment is sealed with a film to get the food stored in the storage compartment fresh. The container further includes a reversible lid that is able to attach to the base portion of the container in two different configurations. In a first configuration the reversible lid attaches to the base portion without affecting the seal created by the film. In a second configuration the reversible lid attaches to the base portion when the lid is inverted and the film is removed from the base portion.

A vented cap adapted to accumulate an overflow of liquid from a reservoir and vent gas from the reservoir to atmosphere. The vented cap includes an insert and a shell. The insert includes a projection extending longitudinally from a floor pan. The shell includes an outer skirt joined to and extending longitudinally outwardly from the floor pan and is attached to a top. The top and the outer skirt define a headspace between the floor pan and the top. The projection extends into a portion of the headspace and defines a projection aperture, allowing liquid and gas to flow into the headspace. The vented cap further includes a vent in fluid communication between the headspace and atmosphere.

A two-part disposable, stackable and recloseable lid for a container holding a beverage. The lid has a dome configuration for higher volume beverages. The lid has a drinking aperture and an a moveable arm with a plug to seal the drinking aperture. The lid has a recess for storing the plug end of the arm when the drinking aperture is being used.

A multi-sectional seasoning shaker, including a body, a lid disposed on a top portion of the body to be rotatable with respect to the body, the lid comprising dispenser holes, and a divider disposed within the body to form a first section to store a first seasoning and a second section to store a second seasoning, such that rotation of the lid allows either the first seasoning or the second seasoning to be dispensed from the dispenser holes when the dispenser holes are disposed over the first section or the second section.

An example lid assembly can include a lid and a slider. The lid can include a wall defining a recess. The slider can be configured to slide in the recess and can be configured to move between a closed position where the slider covers the opening to aid in preventing spilling of contents of the container and an opened position where the slider uncovers the opening such that the contents of the container can be consumed. The slider can be configured to be removable from the lid and can be replaced back on the lid. Additionally, the slider can be configured to lock into place on the recess in both the closed position and the opened position.

A lid for an open top beverage container such as a paper cup with a is formed as a generally disk shaped body with curved slot opening in the body and an air inlet hole in the body. The peripheral edge of the disk has a plurality of annular abutment sealing rings at axially spaced locations along the axis with all of the things including an uppermost ring and typically two lower rings all lying on an imaginary generally conical surface surrounding the axis so that the rings in use engage the generally conical inside surface of the beverage container at a position thereon spaced downwardly from an upper edge of the beverage container for sealing against the inside surface so that the lid slides down into the container and creates a seal inside the container allowing the beverage container to be taken mobile.
