The disclosure pertains to a container for storing medical and/or pharmaceutical products. The container includes a plastic container body comprising a side wall, a base and an opening defining a storage volume, a flange formed on the container body and configured to receive a connecting element of a cap provided with a tamper-evident mechanism, and an active insert placed within the container body. This container is an improved container for the storage of products. The disclosure also pertains to a sealed package comprising this container.

A closure that remains coupled to a container after the upper portion of the closure has been rotatably removed from the container. The closure may include an attachment channel, which includes alternating segments of linear openings and frangible connections. The attachment channel may also include two hinge bridges that remain unbroken when one or more of the frangible connections are broken.

A cap for a container having a pair of side walls each with an inner wall surface. Each inner wall surface having a minimum of two pairs of ribs distributed thereon for retention of a liner. Each of the a minimum of two pairs of ribs has a concave arc with a concave radius of curvature forming a curved portion of the inner wall, and a convex arc. Each of the a minimum if two pairs of ribs has a different overall configuration that facilitates removal, and securing onto, of the cap from/to the container without damage of the ribs and the retention of the liner in the cap.

Embodiments are directed to a removable cap with a top hole and a seal with a heat induction closure for sealing an opening of a container. Advantageously, the cap and the seal do not need to be removed for a probe to access contents of the container, when used in a diagnostic analyzer, thereby eliminating operator steps of cap removal and seal peeling/perforation. Automated opening of the cap and seal combination is provided by puncturing the seal. The seal retains its opened shape required for unobstructed, non-contact probe access to contents of the container. The seal is comprised of three layers: a first polymer sealing layer capable of being heat-sealed to a container; an aluminum foil layer on top of the first polymer sealing layer, configured to heat seal the first layer by inductive heating; and a second polymer layer on top of the aluminum foil layer for protection.

A closure comprising a base body with a circumferential recess foreseen to receive a tamper band connected to a top cover. The circumferential recess comprises at least one circumferential protrusion extending in a radial direction into the recess which comprises at least one pillar extending in the radial direction into the recess, tamper band comprises at least one circumferential undercut foreseen to interact in a mounted position with the circumferential protrusion of the circumferential recess. The tamper band comprises at least one notch foreseen to receive at least one pillar arranged in the circumferential recess.

A closure includes an overcap having an annular skirt, and an annular wall extending inwardly from the skirt. A lid is carried by the overcap radially within the annular skirt, and includes a hub, and an annular margin extending radially outwardly with respect to the hub, and having upper and lower surfaces. An annular container seal extends circumferentially continuously around the annular margin. One or more vents may extend through the annular margin between the upper and lower surfaces thereof at one or more discrete circumferential locations radially inward with respect to the container seal. One or more vent seals may be disposed at the one or more vents between the lid and the overcap.

The present disclosure describes bottle closure assemblies which are made at least in part with a polyethylene composition having good processability, good organoleptic properties and good dimensional stability. The bottle closure assembly includes a cap portion, an elongated tether portion, and a retaining means portion. The retaining means portions engages a bottle neck or an upper portion of a bottle. The elongated tether portion connects at least one point on the cap portion to at least one point on the retaining means portion so as to prevent loss of the cap portion from a bottle.
