Implementations of glove dispensers may include a sealed first end and a sealed second end opposite the sealed first end, a first plurality of openings extending through the first sealed end, a second plurality of openings extending through the second sealed end, and a first opening extending through a sidewall of the flexible bag. Implementations of glove dispensers may also include a first plurality of gloves included within the flexible bag. A cuff of a glove of the first plurality of gloves may be exposed through the first opening. The first plurality openings and the second plurality of openings may be configured to couple to a dispenser rack. The glove dispenser may be configured to stretch between the sealed first end and the sealed second end when coupled to the dispenser rack.

A package configured to hold product includes an active component and a label. The active component can be placed on or attached to an interior surface of the package and the label can be placed on or attached to an exterior surface of the package. The label can be placed on the package to cover the active component so that the active component generally cannot be seen from the external environment.

A method is described herein for slowing, inhibiting, and/or preventing the growth of microbes, or for killing microbes, within and/or on a product/good that is stored in a package. The method can include applying a film cover over a perforated portion of a package and securing the film cover to the package at the perimeter of the perforated portion with an adhesive or by heat stacking. The film cover can include a material for changing the atmosphere within the package. The package may be an existing pre-perforated package, or may be a package that requires perforation. If the package requires perforation, the method can further include perforating at least a portion of the package prior to positioning the film cover over the perforated portion. The film cover can be formed of a three-phase material or other material.

A package arrangement comprising a structure formed by a plurality of layers including an outer layer formed of a polymer material, one or more interior layers formed of a semi-aromatic polyamide composite material, and an inner layer formed of a polymer material, and an amount of water contained within the structure, the water including an amount of ozone dissolved therein, wherein the interior layer of the structure is configured to absorb oxygen and induce the degradation of the ozone.

A process for forming a container from a blank, the process comprising the steps of: thermally inducing one or more fold lines on at least one surface of a container blank fabricated from a thermal insulation sheet material, wherein the blank comprises: a first panel portion; a second panel portion located adjacent the first panel portion and sharing a first common edge therewith; and a third panel portion located adjacent the second panel portion and sharing a second common edge therewith, the second common edge being substantially parallel to the first common edge, wherein the first panel portion and the third panel portion are each associated with a pair of flap members adapted for folding movement relative to the respective first and third panel portions such that, when assembled, each of the flap members overlies an edge of the second panel portion substantially perpendicular to the first common edge and the second common edge, folding the first panel portion of the container blank along a first fold line, wherein when folded, the first panel portion is substantially perpendicular to the second panel portion of the container blank; folding the third panel portion of the container blank along a second fold line, wherein when folded, the third panel portion is substantially perpendicular to the second panel portion and substantially parallel to the first panel portion; sealing a portion of each of the pair of flap members of the first panel portion to a portion of each of the pair of flap members of the third panel portion to form a side seam joint; and sealing a portion of the first panel portion adjacent the side seam joint and a portion of the third panel portion adjacent the side seam joint to an edge of the second panel portion to form a bottom seam joint.
