The present application provides a container for storage, preservation, identification, tracking and transport of a federally controlled substance comprising: (a) a one or more piece airtight container having an exterior surface and an interior surface, an upper portion and a lower portion, configured for containing a federally controlled substance; (b) an inner coating liner lining said interior surface of said airtight container; (c) a one piece tamper resistant easy open lid affixed to said upper portion of said airtight container; and (d) identifying indicia located on the exterior surface for identifying the contained federally controlled substance contents within said container; wherein said airtight container configured for containing a federally controlled substance, has the atmosphere evacuated and the container filled with an inert gas before the airtight container is hermetically sealed, containing a federally controlled substance inside.

A plastic cap is able to be applied to a container having a screw formed with a vent. The plastic cap has an outer ring for sealing at least the outer surface of the mouth of the container, and an inner ring for sealing the inner surface of the container mouth. In a closed state, sealability is maintained by a seal point on the inner surface of the outer ring. In an unsealing step, a seal point on the outer surface of the inner ring is shifted into a pressure-contacted state on the inner surface of the container mouth, where there is no risk of sink marks caused by molding strain, before a seal by the outer ring is released. Thus, reliable sealability can be exhibited even when the cap is applied to a container having inferior dimensional accuracy.

The present invention relates in particular to a closure (3) for the fluid-tight closing of a vessel (2) filled with a substance (5), wherein the closure (3) is provided with a fluid-tight pressure-transmission element (9) and wherein the closure (3) is provided with a base body (8) to which the pressure-transmission element (9) can be attached in a fluid-tight manner, wherein the pressure-transmission element (9) is deflectable by pressurisation without incurring damage, for biological inactivation of microorganisms present in the substance (5), wherein the closure is configured in such a way that the pressure-transmission element (9), when the vessel (2) is closed with the closure (3), is held (clamped between the vessel (2) and the base body). The invention also relates to a corresponding container (1) and a corresponding method.

A plastic closure embodying the principles of the present invention comprises a closure cap having a top wall portion, and an annular skirt portion depending from the top wall portion. The skirt portion includes an internal thread formation for threaded engagement with the external thread formation of an associated container. In order to facilitate high-speed application, and minimize the use of polymeric material, the closure is configured to exhibit a variation in retention force which decreases in a direction away from the top wall portion of the closure cap.

A tamper-evident closure (1) is provided and comprises a base (10) and a lid (50). The base comprises a sidewall (14) and an outer wall (30a) which is radially outwards of the sidewall. The closure comprises a tamper-evident member (56) which is initially frangibly attached to the lid. Upon first opening of the lid the tamper-evident member is released from the lid and falls between the sidewall and the outer wall.

A resealable closure for packages is provided which has a package integrity feature. The closure includes a two-ply material having an inner film layer and an outer film layer, forming a top of container. The outer film layer has a sealing panel completely covering a first panel and a second panel of the inner film layer. The sealing panel is permanently attached to the first panel and is releasably affixed a portion of the inner film layer around the perimeter of the first panel to form an opening in the top when the sealing panel with affixed first panel is peeled back from the top. The sealing panel is resealable against the top to seal the opening when the sealing panel is moved back against the top. The package integrity feature comprises the second panel of the inner layer which separates from the sealing panel to indicate that the container has been previously opened.

Described is a closure adapted to be fit on top of containers such as bottles. In various embodiments, the closure may include an outer skirt and an inner skirt. The closure may be engageable with a container neck. In some embodiments, a region of weakness may be adapted to break and/or deform upon an attempt to remove the closure from the container neck. In some embodiments, after the break and/or deformation, the closure may no longer be engageable with the container neck.

A tamper evident closure and spout are provided. The closure includes an outer wall and a central wall supported from the outer wall. The closure defines a passage extending between an upper edge and a lower edge of the closure and located between an inner surface of the outer wall and an outer surface of the central wall. The closure includes a tamper-indicating band extending from the central wall. The spout includes a wall portion and a central channel extending through the wall portion between an inlet opening and an outlet opening. The spout includes a structure located below the inlet opening the first and second exterior surfaces are both angled toward the central axis of the spout.

There is described a closure assembly for a container filled or fillable with a pourable product. The closure assembly comprises a lid, a first ring member, a second ring member, a coupling element connected to the lid and one of the first ring member and the second ring member, at least one rupturable first coupling bridge connecting the first ring member and the second ring member to one another; and at least one rupturable second coupling bridge connecting the second ring member and the lid to one another.

Embodiments of a tamper-evident closure are disclosed which prevent unauthorized access to a container and its contents, deterring adulteration or introduction of counterfeit product. In one embodiment the tamper-evident closure can be fitted to an associated container and closure, and includes a portion which is removed by fracture of the tamper-evident closure to gain access to the container closure. In another embodiment, an arrangement of wedge-like tongues permit fitment of the tamper-evident closure to associated container for temper-evidence. In another embodiment, the tamper-evident closure is joined by frangible bridges to the container closure to provide the desired tamper-evidence. In another embodiment, the tamper-evident closure is movable axially of the associated container closure to thereby provide evidence of removal.
