Articles of manufacture, products, and packaging methods are provided that include a label with a tear strip. A labeled container includes a base, a lid, and a label sealing the base to the lid. The base includes a bottom wall and a base side wall. The lid includes a top wall and a lid skirt. The lid mates with the base to define an interior space. The label has a front face and a rear face. The label includes an outer web including polymer film, paper, or a combination thereof and an inner web of polymer. A tear strip is defined in the inner web by one or more weakened portion, score lines, or cuts in the inner web. The rear face of the label is adhesively bonded to the base side wall and to the lid skirt to form a seal between the base and the lid. The tear strip is positioned between a portion of the label adhesive bonded to the base side wall and a portion of the label adhesively bonded to the lid skirt. The tear strip can be used to open the container.

A color-changing polymeric material is provided. The material is formed from a thermoplastic composition containing a continuous phase that includes a matrix polymer, colorant, microinclusion additive, and nanoinclusion additive, wherein the microinclusion additive and nanoinclusion additive are dispersed within the continuous phase in the form of discrete domains. A porous network is formed in the polymeric material when subjected to a deformational strain in a solid state. The polymeric material exhibits a first color prior to being subjected to the deformational strain and a second color after being subjected to the deformational strain, the first color being different than the second color.

A plastic bottle equipped with a tamperproof device after its opening comprises a neck (1) and a cap (2) with corresponding screw threads (3, 4). The cap (2) is provided in its skirt (6) with at least one slide (22) and one pin (8) manually sliding into the slide (22). Below its screw threads (3) the cap (2) has a nut ring (9) that is provided with a plurality of holes (10); one of these is intended to receive and hold an arrow-tip end (18) of the pin (8) until its breakage in its weakened tract (17) when the cap (2) is unscrewed for opening. In addition, the pin (8) has an elongated projection (13) for its manual sliding inside the cutout (12) in a convex band (7) whose interior contains the slide (22) of the pin (8). The cutout has a lower end working as a stop for the pin (8).
