A tamper-evident package utilizes a transparent resealable adhesive structure such as a tape or a label to cover the closure opening. Upon a first opening of the package frangible portions of the package front between adjacent arcuate cuts and slits defining the opening are torn. This tearing distorts the packaging film so that re-registration of the opposing lateral edges upon reclosing is not possible. This results in a package which is visually tamper-evident. The tamper-evident condition can be enhanced by graphics or other printing on the front of the package in the area of the closure to make the misalignment of a resealed closure viewed through the transparent structure more visually apparent. In one embodiment of the invention a series of arcuate cuts are centered laterally and are flanked on the right and left sides by two continuous wavy slits which form a portion of the closure opening.

The container of the present invention is designed to allow for easy extraction of contents that would normally adhere to the interior walls of current containers by providing a semi rigid cylindrical container having a single continuous side defining cylindrical shape, a top portion wherein at least one flexible liner is attached to the top portion of the container. The container further possesses a bottom portion wherein such bottom portion has at least one aperture.

Methods and apparatus for removably or irremovably interconnectable building block containers such as those capable of initially storing consumable items such as food and drink. After consumption of the food or drink, the cavity containing same may be cleaned and/or refilled with consumable or non-consumable items. The building block containers are utilized as building block toys and may be manufactured or otherwise designed to be collectable. In one aspect, the container connectors are nearly identical such that any one connector may mate with any other connector. In another aspect, the connectors are nearly identical but the orientations of each connector vary to allow mating to occur when the connectors are properly oriented. In another aspect, the container is a cube juice box with connectors on all four corners of all six sides of the container. A frame for holding a juice container may also be utilized.

An ink cartridge contains an outer package, an ink container within the outer package, and sheet bodies attached to an outer surface of the outer package, and is attachable to and detachable from a printing device. Small pieces are formed by cuts in the outer package. The small pieces include breakable sections, and the bendable sections. Sheet bodies cover a portion of the small pieces. Pressing on a small piece with a finger breaks the breakable section, and bends the bendable section to press them inside the outer package. A portion of the sheet body then shifts upwards so that the sheet body can be grasped with fingers and peeled away from the outer package. Disassembly and sorting of used cartridges in this way becomes easier.

Reclosable cover (100) for a hollow object (200), wherein the cover comprises a base layer (BL), a carrier layer (DL) and an adhesive layer (LL).The base layer has a first base layer cutting line (B1). The carrier layer has a first carrier layer cutting line (D1) at a first distance (d1) from the first base layer cutting line (B1) to provide a first adhesive zone (k1) which is formed to adhere the cover to the hollow object (200).

The base layer has a second base layer cutting line (B2) at a second distance (d2) from the first carrier layer cutting line (D1) to form a closing member (SL).The carrier layer has a second carrier layer cutting line (D2) at a third distance (d3) from the second base layer cutting line (B2) to provide a re-adhesive zone (k2) between the second carrier layer cutting line (D2) and the second base layer cutting line (B2).

A packaging assembly is arranged for holding an article at a predetermined location relative to the packaging assembly in closed and open configurations of the packaging assembly. The packaging assembly includes at least two sections arranged to be secured in place relative to one another in the closed configuration of the packaging assembly, and move relative to one another in the open configuration of the packaging assembly. The at least two sections form an inner surface defining an attachment area for receiving the article. The packaging assembly includes at least one instruction area located along the inner surface and having indicia pointing to features of an article for placement in the packaging assembly and displayed relative to the attachment area.
