A decorative wrapping film for wrapping and concealing a gift is elastic, cohesive and opaque and printed upon. Decorative features such as colors, patterns, decals, text and images are presented on a decorative side of the film. The surface of a non-decorative side has cohesive properties, i.e. tending to attach, cling or adhere to at least the decorative side of the wrapping film. The wrapping film may be wound into a roll and mounted on a hand-held dispenser or set into a box dispenser. The cohesive properties mitigate the need for adhesive tapes when wrapping gifts. The elastic properties facilitate wrapping of edges, corners and irregularly shaped objects. Further, the direction in which the wrapping film is formed to the item may be changed by stretching and bending the wrapping film.

Methods of enhancing one or more physical properties of a thermoplastic film include incrementally stretching thermoplastic films in the machine direction and/or transverse direction. In one or more implementations, methods of incrementally stretching thermoplastic films include reducing the gauge of the films while maintaining or increasing a ratio of the machine direction to transverse direction resistance to tear. The methods can involve cold stretching the films and imparting rib patterns into the film. The linear ribs can have alternating thick and thin gauges.

A package for a medical device includes a tray with a top surface, a bottom surface, a proximal end, a distal end, and first and second lateral sides that extend between the proximal and distal ends. The package has a retainer sleeve wrapped around the tray, the retainer sleeve including a top panel covering the top surface of the tray, a bottom panel covering the bottom surface of the tray, and a connecting panel extending between the top and bottom panels and covering one of the first and second lateral sides of the tray. The top panel of the retaining sleeve includes a proximal edge, a distal edge, an outer edge, a cut that extends inwardly from the outer edge, and an extended tab that extends along the outer edge of the top panel and distally beyond the cut formed in the outer edge of the top panel. The extended tab is tucked under the connecting panel and disposed between the connecting panel and one of the first and second lateral sides of the tray covered by the connecting panel. A retainer lid covers the distal end of the top panel of the retainer sleeve and is connected with the distal end of the tray for securing the distal end of the retainer sleeve to the tray.

Disclosed is an airtight container having a deformable cover unit or a deformable container unit, which ensures easy maintenance of the cover unit and allows the cover unit to be easily used with a large-capacity fixed container unit, or which includes an expandable accommodating space or an expandable inlet to accommodate various sizes of storage items therein in an airtight manner. The airtight container includes a deformable cover unit for useable with a fixed container unit. Alternatively, the airtight container includes first and second frames pivotably connected to each other so as to be selectively coupled to or come into contact with each other in order to seal a contact or coupling portion therebetween, and a deformable container unit disposed over the frames and configured to provide an accommodating space for a storage item therein. The first and second frames are disposed along the inlet rim of the container unit.
