The present invention relates to improved contact lens packages and methods of use, manufacture, and assembly. A contact lens package houses a contact lens and packaging solution in which the contact lens may be held by surface tension to an intermediate plug, by which the user may insert the contact lens into the wearer's eye. The plug may have an adhesive that temporarily holds the plug to the user's fingertip while the contact lens is inserted into the wearer's eye.

Described is an assembly (1) comprising a wall element (2), defining a circumferential bonding strip (3) running over the wall element, and a flexible flat film connected to the bonding strip with a continuous circumferential bonding (4), which wall element and film define two opposite walls (2a, 5a) of a chamber (5), characterized in that the wall element further comprises a base plane B defined by the wall element, at least two corner elements (6a, 6b, 6c, 6d) positioned on a distance to one another, which extend substantially perpendicular with a height H (Ha, Hb, Hc, Hd) in the same direction from the base plane of the wall element, each corner element defining an angle A (Aa, Ab, Ac, Ad) of the chamber with an angle line which is substantially perpendicular to the base plane, strip sections (7a, 7b, 7c, 7d), each connecting two corner elements that define adjacent corners of the chamber to one another, the distance between the strip sections and the base plane being less than H, wherein the continuous circumferential bonding strip runs over the strip sections and over the corner elements and at least in the area of the corner elements at a distance from the base surface corresponding to height H (Ha, Hb, Hc, Hd), and wherein the outer contour of the film is shaped in such a way that the outer contour of the film corresponds to that of the circumferential bonding strip. A method for the production of such an assembly is also described.

A lidding device (102) includes a first panel (104) comprising a lid (106) configured to cover and seal a food container (108). A second panel (110) is foldably connected to the first panel. A third panel (112) includes a bottom panel opposite the lid, wherein the second panel is foldably connected to the first panel and the third panel. A fourth panel (114) is foldably connected to at least one of the first panel and the third panel, wherein the fourth panel and second panel are configured to at least partially enclose a food container between the second and fourth panels.

The invention relates to a method for sealing an opening of a packaging, in which the packaging includes at least a peripheral wall with a peripheral top edge. The peripheral top edge forms the contour of the opening, including the following process steps: positioning a flexible film/foil layer over the peripheral top edge in such a way that the opening is completely covered and the film/foil layer overhangs beyond the peripheral top edge; heat-sealing the film/foil layer to the peripheral top edge of the packaging; folding the part of the film/foil layer overhanging beyond the opening towards the peripheral wall; heat-sealing the folded-over film/foil layer to the peripheral wall at a distance from the peripheral top edge, in which case a contact point of a device for heat-sealing the folded-over film/foil layer to the peripheral wall at a distance from the peripheral top edge does not move with respect to the film/foil layer during the heat-sealing, at least for as long as the contact point is in contact with the film/foil layer. The invention also relates to a device for heat-sealing according to the above method, and to a packaging manufactured in this way.

Provided is a self-adhesive sheet including a 4-methyl-1-pentene-based polymer. In the self-adhesive sheet, it is preferable that at least one or more temperatures showing a local maximum value of a loss tangent (tan δ) , which is obtained by dynamic viscoelasticity measurement under conditions of a temperature rising rate of 4° C./min, a frequency of 1.59 Hz, and a strain amount of 0.1%, are present in a range of 10° C. or higher and 100° C. or lower, the local maximum value of the loss tangent is 0.5 or more and 3.5 or less, an arithmetic average roughness Ra on one surface of the self-adhesive sheet is in a range of 0.01 to 10 .Math.m, and a ten-point average roughness Rz is in a range of 0.1 to 50 .Math.m.

The invention concerns a sealing membrane (2) for a container (5), said membrane (2) having an edge region (4) intended to be secured around an opening (5a) of the container (5) such as to form a sealing of the container (5), the membrane (2) comprising a pull-tab (1) extending from a portion of the edge region (4) such as to facilitate simplified release of the membrane (2). The invention is characterized in 12 that the pull-tab (1) comprises a stiffening structure (7) arranged in a pattern that defines an intended folding line (3) extending across the pull-tab (1). The invention also concerns a container arrangement (8) comprising a container (5) with an opening (5a) and, at least partly secured to the container (5) around the opening (5a), a sealing membrane (2) of the above type. The invention also concerns a method of manufacturing a sealing membrane (2) of the above type, wherein the method comprises the step of embossing, corrugation, creasing, folding and/or heat shaping the stiffening structure (7).

A method for manufacturing a container seal having an integral pull tab comprises providing a surface layer, an elastic layer, a top layer, an aluminum foil intermediate layer, and laminating a sealing adhesive layer of an adhesive thermoplastic resin or viscous agent to the intermediate layer. An adhesive surface and a non-adhesive portion are added to the thermoplastic resin layer, and placed on the aluminum foil to form a container seal laminate. The container seal laminate is cut to conform with an opening of the container to be sealed. The seal has an integral pull tab.
