A packing method makes it possible to achieve, at a low cost, both reduction of a rise in temperature of a black-based foamed product and stacking stability. The packing method for a package includes the steps of setting, on a black-based foamed product that is stacked in one or more layers on a pallet, a cover board such that the cover board covers a main surface of an uppermost layer of the black-based foamed product, and covering, with a black-based stretch film, an outer periphery corresponding to side surfaces of the black-based foamed product.

There is provided a packaging for a container wherein the packaging is formed from a plurality of shell pieces that are hinged together to wrap around the container. When wrapped around the container, a first shell piece is secured to a second shell piece using a two-point locking feature. The shell pieces are formed with a substantially constant wall thickness such that the packaging substantially conforms to the shape of the container. Thus, advantageously, any distinctiveness in the shape of the container is not lost when wrapped by the packaging.

A polymerizable liquid composition including semi-conductive nanoparticles for the manufacture of ophthalmic lenses. Specifically, polymerizable composition has at least one monomer or oligomer; at least one catalyst for initiating the polymerization of the monomer or oligomer; and semi-conductive nanoparticles, which are dispersed in the monomer or oligomer. The absorbance through a 2-millimeter-thick layer of the polymerizable composition is higher than 0.5 for each light wavelength ranging from 350 to λ.sub.cut, λ.sub.cut being in the visible range, preferably in the range from 400 nm to 480 nm.

A glass container is provided that includes a tube, a circular bottom, and a longitudinal axis. A curved glass heel extends from an outer end the bottom to the first end of the tube. The two-dimensional distance h(x,y) between a contact plane and the outer surface. The two-dimensional distance is measured in a direction parallel to the axis. The slope magnitude of the outer surface at the given position x,y is given by
√{square root over ((dh/dx).sup.2+(dh/dy).sup.2)}.

White goniochromatic packaging material. The package wall containing a composition useful for blocking light in the spectrum ranges from about 200 nm to about 1200 nm. The composition has polyester, polymethylpentene, and a light scattering pigment. The composition optionally includes at least one other colorant. Each of the polymethylpentene and the light scattering pigment comprise about 0.1 to about 0.5 weight percent of the wall. The polyester and polymethylpentene are immiscible and when subjected to orientation stresses the composition produces a goniochromatic packaging article.
