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.

A container-closure system comprises a threaded-neck container that houses a first flowable product in a first reservoir. A threaded closure assembly for the container initially houses a second flowable product in a second reservoir, and comprises an inner cap and an overcap. Movement of the overcap with respect to the inner cap effects the mixing of the two flowable products in the first reservoir.

A storing and dispenser container for a plurality of sheets of product can include a container body. The container body can include a top portion. The top portion can include a removable portion. The container can also include a flange defining an interior portion. The flange can be coupled to the top portion of the container body. The interior portion can be defined by the flange and surround the removable portion of the container body. The container can also include a frangible projecting tab extending from the flange into the interior portion of the flange and over the removable portion of the container body. The frangible projecting tab can be coupled to the removable portion of the container body. The container body can further include a lid coupled to the flange.

Disclosed herein is a cap configured to interact with a neck. In some embodiments, the cap comprises an inner wall portion and at least one cutting element projecting radially inwards from the inner wall portion. In some embodiments, the cutting element has a hinge portion connected to the inner wall portion, and a cutting portion extending radially inwards from the hinge portion, wherein a first axial thickness of the hinge portion is between 35 and 80% of a second axial thickness of the cutting portion. Also disclosed herein is an assembly comprising the cap and a spout having a membrane closing a tubular member of the spout.

A cap and neck assembly for closing an upper end of a package (10) is provided. The neck (20) is formed by a tubular member (110) being provided with external threads (22), and an upper tubular portion (120) extending from the tubular member (110) and being releasably attached to a membrane (150) closing an upper end of said upper portion (120). The cap has a lower portion the threads (22) of the neck (20), and an upper portion (33) being provided with at least one cutting element (50) configured to separate the membrane (150) from the neck (20). When the cap (30) is threaded onto the neck (20) to its axial end position for the first time prior to separating the membrane (150) from the neck (20), the axial distance between a cutting edge (54) of the cutting element (50) and the membrane flange (170) is less than 1 mm.
