A container includes a container main body that is composed of a main-body forming sheet member and surrounds a containing portion, wherein the container main body includes a first surface portion, a second surface portion that is arranged so as to face the first surface portion with the containing portion being arranged therebetween, and a gusset portion which connects the first surface portion and the second surface portion to each other. The gusset portion is provided with a discharge port that discharges a contents from the containing portion. The main-body forming sheet member includes a main-body sealing portion in which a plurality of film layers are attached to each other, a non-attached region in which the plurality of film layers are partially non-attached to each other, and a filling portion in which a filler can be enclosed between layers of the plurality of film layers in the non-attached region.

The disclosure provides ethylene/α-olefin copolymer based co-extruded, multi-layer films, including barrier films and non-barrier films, and articles of manufacture that include the films, such as flexible bags and containers for flowable materials. The films and articles that include the films have improved flex-crak resistance and toughness. The films and articles that include the films have good barrier properties as the barrier films include a core layer of ethylene-vinyl alcohol (EVOH) copolymer having a high ethylene content. The low amount of EVOH copolymer in the total film that is needed to achieve the flex-crack resistance, toughness, and good barrier properties, further allow for the recycling of the films and articles of manufacture.

A laminate has a substrate layer, an intermediate layer, and a fluorine-based resin layer in this order, and has a total film thickness of 400 μm or less, in which a thickness of the intermediate layer is 5 μm or more and 50 μm or less, and an upper yield point stress of the laminate is 1,500 N/cm.sup.2 or more.

A sheet member container having one or more sheet members including a main-body forming sheet member in which a plurality of film layers including an inner film layer and an outer film layer are stacked; a containing portion that accommodates contents; a container main body including the main-body forming sheet member, and surrounding the containing portion; and a peripheral edge sealing portion in which the one or more sheet members are folded along a folding line, and peripheral edge portions of the one or more sheet members are attached to each other.

Packages, systems, and methods of the present disclosure are generally directed to the use of side gating in injection molding to form packaging for contact lenses. As compared to gating along a top surface of a contact lens package, the use of a side gate in injection molding to form a package for contact lenses may significantly reduce the time required to cool plastic in the injection mold, thus offering potential to reduce the overall cycle time for the injection molding process and increase fabrication throughput of the package.

A packaged product unit including a package with an inner cavity having a pocket portion containing a product and communicating with an elongated portion in which a straw is housed. The straw has a proximal end which leads into the pocket portion and a distal end which is closed by a cap portion of the package. An outer wall of the straw is welded perimetrically to the package in a proximal sealing area at the proximal end of the straw to prevent leakage of the product from the pocket portion along an outer surface of the straw.

A blister package for a contact lens includes a base sheet and a sealing sheet. Either the base sheet or the sealing sheet includes a bowl, and the other sheet includes a dome and a sealing surface. The dome has a radius of curvature of about 13 mm to 19 mm and a height of less than 7 mm relative to the sealing surface. The dome is configured to protrude into the bowl to form a cavity. Related methods are also described.

A plural-mode automatic medicament packaging system. In embodiments, the system may include an automatic dispensing machine including an automatic medicament dispensing unit and may further include pouch packaging and blister package packaging units. The medicament dispensing unit may include one or more storage and dispensing units which store and dispense medicaments. Medicaments output from the medicament dispensing unit may be packaged in a pouch package by the pouch packaging unit. Alternatively, a diverter may direct medicaments output from the medicament dispensing unit to the pouch package packaging unit for packaging in a blister package. A single automatic medicament packaging system can package medicaments in different types of packaging providing a pharmacy with the opportunity to package medicaments in the form of packaging most appropriate to meet patient needs.
