The present disclosure relates to a paperboard sealing disc for use in a packaging container, comprising a peripheral edge portion surrounding a tear-open part having a push-tab and a pull-away part. The tear-open part is delimited from the peripheral edge portion by a first cutting line in the first side and by a second cutting line in the second side. Said first cutting line being provided at a distance d1 from said sealing disc outer edge, and said second cutting line being provided at a distance d2 from said sealing disc outer edge. The push-tab is at least partly delimited from the pull-away part by a folding line. At the push-tab d1>d2 and at the pull-away part d4>d3. Furthermore, d1 at said push-tab is substantially the same as d4 at said pull-away part and d2 at said push-tab is substantially the same as d3 at said pull-away part.

In an embodiment, the invention comprises a container apparatus with a lateral stability rail system. At least one rail extends within the lid portion and at least one track extends through the base portion. The rail terminates in a tooth and the track terminates in a pocket. When the container is in a hingedly closed position, the at least one rail nests within the at least one track and the at least one tooth nests within the at least one pocket.

A substantially moisture tight container and lid assembly for storing and packaging moisture-sensitive items comprising an assembly with a container and a lid, the lid is attached by a hinge to an upper housing portion of the container, the lid includes a lip seal member that depends downwardly from the lid, the lip seal member is configured to abut at least a portion of the interior side of the container when the lid is in the closed position resulting in a substantially moisture tight seal between the lid and the lid, and the container assembly further comprising a base portion and an upper housing portion, the upper housing portion is capable of being snap-fit into the base portion by employing a lip seal mechanism to form a substantially moisture-tight seal.

A packaging container for a protected instrument (such as a medical device) includes: (a) first and second complementary clam-shell container components; (b) a cradle for seating a protected instrument formed into the interior side the first clam-shell container component, where the cradle is surrounded on at least three sides by weakened lines formed into first clam-shell container component; (c) a pull-tab extending from the exterior side of the first clam-shell container component, where the pull-tab is positioned within the weakened lines; and (d) a protected instrument seated on the cradle. The first and second complementary clam-shell container components are closed together to enclose the cradle and the protected instrument therein, and the first and second complementary clam-shell components are then fixed together about their respective outer peripheral edge surfaces. Consequently, upon pulling the pull-tab by a user, the weakened lines will tear allowing the cradle to pull away from the first clam-shell container component, presenting the protected instrument to the user.

A tamper evident container includes a base with a base rim adjoining a base hinge panel and a lid with a lid rim adjoining a lid hinge panel. A hinge connects the panels. A frangible line extends from an edge of the lid hinge panel to a first point on the panel and then outwardly to the hinge. The frangible line crosses the hinge and extends inwardly to a second point on the base hinge panel. From the second point the frangible line extends to an edge of the base hinge panel. When the container is initially sealed, the frangible line separates upon the application of an upwardly directed force to a first portion of the lid hinge panel while a second portion of the lid hinge panel is held in a fixed position or moved downwardly. The separation of the frangible line creates two grasping portions that can be used to pull the lid from the base.

Packaging for receiving a filling material comprises a container therefor, the container comprising a collar for bordering an opening for providing access to the filling material, an undercut running in circumferential direction, a lid for covering the opening in closed state and an elastic gasket for sealing the opening, wherein the gasket comprises a ring body for surrounding the opening, a nose protruding mainly radially from the ring body, wherein the gasket encompasses the undercut for connecting the gasket to the collar in a sealing manner, and a flap protruding mainly radially from the ring body, wherein the flap is adapted to seal the lid in closed state of the lid. The three-dimensional design of the gasket allows a tight sealing as well as an elastic compensation of tolerances, so that a good and cost-efficient sealing of the packaging is enabled.

A silicone extruded spring strap that has the possibility to be folded around an axis parallel to its own axis of extrusion, thus creating the compression and release as of a spring. The base has a reach-in hole on its body to allow the user to reach through. The lid is the base's capping object; it is designed to cover the reach-in hole of the base. It should be designed in a way to limit the area of the remaining gaps of the base's reach-in hole. The spring strap clip designed to allow the extension of the spring during the closing motion of the lid. The extruded spring strap can store and release energy in order to displace the lid. It can be of any material that provides the appropriate stiffness to activate the lid. The retention latch is the user interface on which he acts in order to have the lid popup.

A package for a medical device such as an intermittent catheter has a case which is closed at one end and open at the other end. A cap is connected to the case by a hinge to permit selectable movement of the cap between an open position, wherein access is provided to the open end of the case, and a closed position, wherein the cap prevents access to the open end of the case. A seal is connected to one of the cap and case. The seal is engageable with the other of the cap and case when the cap is closed to form a barrier that maintains a sterile environment inside the package. The seal can be repeatedly made and broken whenever the user closes or opens the cap, respectively. The case includes a pair of slots at the open end. A pair of latches are formed in the cap. The latches fit into the slots to prevent lateral forces from distorting the cap when the cap is closed.

An airplane tray cover multi-compartment holder system and method for holding and transporting a plurality of airplane tray covers. The system and method generally includes a case with a plurality of individual compartments for holding a tray cover isolated from other compartments. Individual compartments are defined by an arrangement of exterior and interior panels and surfaces. Each compartment has a corresponding door that is pivotable between open and closed positions. Each door has a window through which tray covers can be viewed without opening the door. A window may include a movable spring-biased latch for automatically latching the door to a stationary latch on the case as the door closes. The tray covers and compartments may have indicia that uniquely identify them. A tether with magnetic elements on its ends may be selectively attached to the case by joining the magnetic elements.
