A package for shipping a product ordered via the Internet. The package comprising a container body, an inner label, a closure, an outer label removably attached to and covering all or part of the inner label, and a shipping label adhered to the outer label.

Many embodiments described herein prevent an aged spirit from degrading due to the oxygen trapped in the headspace without the use of a pump. The aged spirit preservation system may have a cork with an open top, an open bottom, and a channel extending from the open top to the open bottom. The cork may be sized couple to an internal portion of a bottle. The system may even include a sealing device coupled to an outer portion of the cork between the open top and the open bottom. Additionally, the system may include a replaceable cartridge containing an adsorbent media, iron, a salt, and a color-changing indicator. Oxygen from the bottle may be allowed to enter the cartridge and react with the iron via a non-reversible reaction, thereby preventing the degradation of the spirit.

A method for detecting tampering with a stowage container can include configuring the stowage container, the stowage container comprising a container housing and a barrier, wherein edges of the barrier overlap edges of the container housing to prevent access to an interior of the stowage container between the container housing and the barrier when the barrier is in a closed position. A tamper-evident device can be positioned such that the tamper-evident device is viewable from at least one predetermined eyepoint under an ambient light environment. The tamper-evident device can be configured to be inaccessible from an exterior of the stowage container and provides a distinct color contrast with the stowage container and an indication that tampering has occurred.

The present invention is directed to a tampering/opening evidence mechanism to avoid the adulteration and reuse of packages, which corresponds to a device having a dual lid with a series of mechanisms that, when the user turns the lid to open the product, make the side surface thereof to be stained by an ink located therein. Thus, the mechanism of the invention stains with a permanent/indelible ink the inside of the dual lid, when it is rotated by the user for the first opening of the container, and wherein said movement allows both surface to be stained due to an element, such as a foam, being charged with ink which stains both surfaces with the rotation of the lid.

A tamper-evident closure (101) comprises a first portion (105, 106) and a second portion (102, 104) comprising a window (103) through which a view of the first portion (105, 106) is visible. The second portion (102, 104) is rotated relative to the first portion (105, 106) upon first opening of the tamper-evident closure (101), from a first position in which the first and second portions (105, 106; 102, 104) are in a first relative relation and a first view of the first portion (105, 106) is visible through the window (103), to a second position in which the first and second portions (105, 106; 102, 104) are in a second relative relation and a second, different view of the first portion (105, 106) is visible through the window (103). A locking mechanism irreversibly locks the first and second portions (105, 106; 102, 104) in the second relative relation.

A tamper-evident container comprising a vessel and a barrier that together enclose an interior space. The barrier has a marking chamber at least partially filled with a marking substance, such that when a product is inserted into the tamper-evident container through the barrier and passes through the marking chamber, the marking substance is applied to the product's surface. The presence of the marking substance on the product can indicate that it is the original product inserted into the tamper-evident container, while the absence of the marking substance on a product removed from the tamper-evident container can indicate that the original product has been replaced in the tamper-evident container with a substitute.

The present invention is directed to tamper-evident mesh material, methods of manufacture therefor, and tamper-evident bags manufactured therefrom. The tamper-evident mesh material of the present invention may be used, for example, in the manufacture of a variety of tamper-evident security bags for use in applications where it is desirable to detect any traces or evidence of tampering with or of unauthorized access to the contents of the bag.

A closure (101) for a container neck comprises a first portion (102) comprising a body (104) for fixing to the container neck and a second portion (103) comprising a cap (105) releasably engageable with the body (104). The closure (101) comprises a seal support portion (107) formed from a first plastics material and a seal (106) formed from a second plastics material that is more compliant than the first plastics material, the seal (106) formed integrally with the seal support portion (107). A closure (101) with a bi-injection moulded seal. A method of forming the closure (101) comprising the step of bi-injection moulding the seal support portion (107) and the seal (106). A container comprising a container neck provided with the closure (101).

The present disclosure relates to a tamper-evident and child-proof coupling system. The coupling system includes a first base portion, a second base portion, a slit, and a closing septum. The first base portion includes a first coupling portion. The second base portion includes a second coupling portion. The first and second coupling portions are configured to define a priming configuration of the coupling system when the first and second coupling portion are engaged to each other. The slit is defined on the first base portion or the second base portion and is configured to receive an opening device. The opening device is configured to disengage the first and second coupling portions. The closing septum is adjustable to a first or second configuration. In the first configuration, the closing septum occludes the slit. In the second configuration, the closing septum is configured to expose the slit.

A smart closure system, apparatus, and method are contemplated. The closure includes mechanical capture and release mechanisms, electromechanical and/or optical indicators, wireless technologies, and/or web-based or remote authentication, verification, and serialization via remotely located data servers. A mobile computing device may further augment certain functions. The resulting system allows for anti-counterfeiting, authentication, serialization, and other capabilities.
