Disclosed is a container for keeping fermented food, including a body configured to contain the fermented food therein, a cover configured to close the body, and a sealing sheet configured to maintain airtightness between the body and the cover. The cover includes a plurality of gas flow channels which extend from a center of a bottom surface to an inner peripheral surface, and a plurality of gas discharge channels which extend from an upper end of the inner peripheral surface to a lower end. In addition, the sealing sheet has a through-hole to allow an interior and an exterior of the body to communicate with each other.

In one embodiment there is provided a bottle and cap package configuration designed to hold a solid substance and provide an escape path for a scent of the substance. The cap has an internal surface with a mid-section projection to cooperatively rest on an upper ledge of the bottle neck. At least one raised pad is positioned between the upper ledge of the bottle and the underneath side surface of the mid-section projection such that when the cap is positioned on the neck of the bottle, the at least one raised pad creates a ventilation gap permitting a scent of a substance contained in the well of the bottle an escape path between the upper ledge of the bottle and the underneath side surface of the mid-section projection and then around the threads to under the bottom surface edge of the cap.

A dispensing closure system includes an upper closure portion and a lower closure portion including an axial flow conduit and a vent conduit. The upper closure portion is axially movable relative to lower closure portion between shipping and dispensing positions. A seal is disposed on the lower closure portion over the flow and vent conduits. A peripheral spacing strip is removably secured to the upper closure portion and engages with either the lower closure or the outside of the container to prevent movement. A piercing probe includes piercing elements in alignment with the flow and vent conduits for piercing the seal. In the shipping position, the piercing elements are spaced from the seal. However, when the spacing strip is removed and the upper closure portion is axially moved to the dispensing position, the piercing elements pierce the seal to open the flow conduit and the vent conduit.

A screw cap for wine bottles, has an outer capsule screwable to the bottle and an insert inserted in the outer capsule and intended to stay interposed between the mouth of the bottle and the outer capsule, is described. At the bottom, the insert is provided with a metal foil intended to directly stay in contact with the mouth of the bottle by intercepting the same. The metal foil is the only component of the cap wettable by the wine and is made of a precious metal inert at room temperature, or it is made of an alloy of precious metals inert at room temperature. The insert also has a gasket positioned on the metal foil, which has a radial extent larger than the metal foil itself, and has an outer crown surrounding the metal foil by adhering to the mouth of the bottle.

What is presented is a method of forming a closure with a sealing gasket in an injection molding machine that has a center rotating cube. The center rotating cube comprises a plurality of mold back halves each comprising cores and a thread unscrewing mechanism. Each core is shaped to form a closure that has a thread and an anti-rotation feature. The method comprises the steps of forming a closure with a through hole, rotating the core to create a gap between the formed closure and the core, and injecting a compressible material through the through hole and into the gap to form a sealing gasket.

A container for self-gassing liquids, the container comprising a receptacle and an insert arranged to seat within a neck of the receptacle, the insert being further arranged to engage and seal directly or indirectly with a connector extending across the neck of the receptacle. The insert defines a void defined by a base portion of the insert and a peripheral side wall of the insert extending within the neck of the receptacle, the insert comprising a hole in the base portion. The container further comprises a dip tube extending from a lower surface of the base portion to, or towards, the bottom of the receptacle. The dip tube defines a passageway through the base portion, or is connected and sealed to the lower side of a passageway through the insert, the passageway terminating in said void such that the hole and the passageway are in fluid communication with each other through the void. Self-gassing liquids may be safely stored and transported in the container without risk of over-pressurisation of the internal volume of the container, which may also be quickly and easily installed into a dispensing device by the end user, requiring minimal handling by the user.

A container is disclosed herein. The container includes a base and a lid, with the lid being movable between an open position and a closed position. The lid includes a first resealing feature defined by an inner lip and a second resealing feature defined by an outer lip. The resealing features are configured to connect when the lid is in moved into the closed position and disconnect when the lid is moved into the open position. Thus, the lid is releasably held to the base when the lid is closed. The lid incorporates a film layer for reducing waste and weight. The film layer is situated and sized to define a vent into the interior of the base to allow any products disclosed therein to be vented and non-airtight.

The cap has an internal surface with a mid-section projection to cooperatively rest on an upper ledge of the bottle neck. At least one raised pad is positioned between the upper ledge of the bottle and the underneath side surface of the mid-section projection such that when the cap is positioned on the neck of the bottle, the at least one raised pad creates a ventilation gap permitting a scent of a substance contained in the well of the bottle an escape path between the upper ledge of the bottle and the underneath side surface of the mid-section projection and then around the threads to under the bottom surface edge of the cap.

A packaging container is provided. The packaging container includes a body defining a volume. The body including a neck extending from an opening of the body. The neck including a proximal surface and a circumferential projection defining at least one gap. The neck further including at least one axial support disposed in the gap. A closure is engageable with the proximal surface, and a sleeve is conformable to an outer surface of the closure and the neck. In some embodiments, container systems and methods of manufacturing containers are disclosed.
