A pet food product includes a container including a housing and a holder. The housing contains wet food and includes: a bottom; and a peripheral wall extending upward from an outer peripheral edge of the bottom and surrounding the bottom. The holder protrudes outward from the peripheral wall.

The present disclosure describes a container that includes a body having a lower surface, an upper rim, and a plurality of side walls that extend between the lower surface and the upper rim, wherein the upper rim defines an opening to an interior space of the body, a flexible cover that covers the opening of the body and is bonded to the body along the upper rim, and gas-permeable material through which gas can enter and exit the interior space of the body. The upper rim of the body is spaced apart from any of the gas-permeable material, such that the cover can be peeled away from the upper rim to expose the opening while leaving the gas-permeable material intact.

A packaging for medical devices, including a tub provided with a peripheral wall delimiting an upper opening, a sealing cover sealable on the upper opening of the tub, and a sealing film adapted to be positioned on the upper face of the sealing cover. The sealing film, including a protective foil, an adhesive layer extending over the protective foil, and a peelable sheet having a first portion extending over the adhesive layer opposite to a first portion of the protective foil. The first portions of the protective foil and peelable sheet are arranged in a retracted position uncovering the sealing cover. A second portion of the protective foil, distinct from the first portion, is bonded to the sealing cover and/or to the tub by the adhesive layer, and a second portion of the peelable sheet, separated from said second portion of the protective foil, is arranged so as to be pullable by a user to progressively separate the first portion of the peelable sheet from the first portion of the protective foil to an extended position wherein the protective foil adheres to the sealing cover.

Composite film (1) for closing a container (10) by sealing the composite film (1) against a circumferential sealing surface (11) of the container (10) or of a cap ring (12) to be connected to the container (10). The composite film (1) comprises an outer support layer (30) made of a metal film and an inner multilayer membrane (20) laminated to the outer support layer (30) using a bonding layer (28). The membrane (20) has a consecutive layer structure from the outside to the inside consisting of a backbone layer (21) made of polypropylene, an intermediate layer (23) made of a partially crystalline polyamide and a cohesively breakable peeling layer (25) made of polypropylene, polyethylene and talc, wherein between the intermediate layer (23) and the backbone layer (21) as well as between the intermediate layer (23) and the peeling layer (25) there is arranged a tie layer (22, 24) made of a maleic acid anhydride grafted polypropylene. The membrane has further an innermost sealing layer (26) made of a random copolymer comprising monomers of propylene, ethylene and butylene, wherein the random copolymer is grafted with maleic acid anhydride. The softening point of the sealing layer (26) lies at least between 15 and 25° C. lower than that of the tie layers (22, 24). A use and a method of producing said composite film (1) are also disclosed.

To reduce the amount of staining that occurs during the in-package retort processing of food products, a packaging film is used including a white multilayer film, the white multilayer film having a sealing region on the exposed surface of the packaging film, a white region containing white pigment and a blocking region located between the white region and the sealing region, where the combined thickness of the sealing region and the blocking region is at least 70% of the thickness of the white multilayer film.

A compostable single-use container generally includes a substantially planar lid component and a tray component. The lid component has a top surface and a bottom surface. The tray component has a generally planar top surface adhesively bonded to the bottom surface of the lid component with a sustainable adhesive, and a chamber configured to store an object. The tray component is thermoformed fiber comprising at least one of recycled cardboard, hemp straw, and cannabis straw. The lid portion comprises at least one of a natural-fiber card stock and a compostable sticker.

A package and a method of forming the package, the package including a primary package; an inner package provided around the primary package; an outer package provided around the inner package and the primary package, such that an air gap is formed between the inner package and the outer package, the outer package including two bodies that are configured to surround opposite sides of the inner package, respectively; and a tape configured to seal the two bodies of the outer package together.

Various enhancements of heat seals are provided herein with sealant layers that provide for decreased chance of oversealing the heat seal to a container. Such enhancements include the use of various types of resins in combination to provide for desirable heating and sealing characteristics. Further, the heat seals may be especially suitable for use with polyester containers, such as those containing polyethylene terephthalate.

A lidding film comprising oriented polyethylene bonded to non-oriented polyethylene is disclosed. The oriented polyethylene may comprise a plurality of layers and the non-oriented polyethylene may comprise a plurality of layers, wherein the oriented polyethylene is bonded to the non-oriented polyethylene by extrusion coating or by a laminating adhesive. The oriented polyethylene comprises machine direction oriented polyethylene (MDO PE) or biaxially oriented polyethylene (BOPE). The lidding film may comprise from 1 to 15 wt. % of a polymer other than polyethylene, preferably the lidding film comprises no more than 5 wt. % of a polymer other than polyethylene. Also disclosed is a sealed container comprising a lidding film according to the invention and a polymer tray wherein the lidding film is heat sealed to the top edge of the polymer tray via the non-oriented polyethylene, thereby enclosing a product within a recess defined by the polymer tray. Also disclosed is a method of producing a lidding film.

A cover member of the present invention is a cover member to be placed on a face of an object to prevent passage of a foreign matter through an opening of the face, the cover member including: a protective membrane having a shape configured to cover the opening when the cover member is placed on the face; and a first substrate layer joined to one of principal surfaces of the protective membrane. The first substrate layer has a laminated structure including at least two substrate films, and is positioned between the protective membrane and the face when the cover member is placed on the face. The at least two substrate films include a non-foam film and a foam film. The cover member of the present invention is suitable for improving the peelability from a member supply sheet.
