Packaged product for preparing pasta in broth, which includes a container provided with an upper opening closed by a closure element, and a gelled substance which contains a food broth and one o more added food thickeners, is arranged in the container and is provided with an upper surface directed towards the upper opening of the container. A portion of broth pasta is arranged in the container between the closure element and the upper surface of the gelled substance, which has a gel strength such to sustain the portion of broth pasta abutted against the upper surface of the gelled substance itself without such portion of broth pasta sinking within such gelled substance.

A container includes a nutrient receptacle to receive contents with a closed end and an opening opposite the closed end, a lip about the opening, and at least two flaps coupled to the lip via respective flap hinges and positioned in a closed position to cover a portion of the opening. When a portion of the lip is pressed towards the closed end, the at least two flaps are configured to rotate on the respective flap hinges to an open position when engaged by another portion of the lip.

A cup lid contains: a body and a covering layer. The body is covered a mouth of a cup and includes a raised portion, a cap connected with the raised portion, and a connection neck formed between the raised portion and the cap. The raised portion and the cap are one-piece formed, and the connection neck is torn off by exerting a pulling force to the cap so as to separate the cap from the raised portion and to expose an opening outside the raised portion. The covering layer is adhered on an outer wall of the cap and is covered on the raised portion and the cap. The connection neck is torn off after exerting the pulling force to the cap so as to separate the cap from the covering layer and the raised portion, thus exposing the opening outside the raised portion.

Described are lid protection systems. These systems include a cover configured to protect at least a mouth portion of a lid. The cover can be configured to not substantially affect stackability of the lids to which they are applied.

A medical device package includes: a medical device container including a nest which holds a plurality of medical devices (syringes) to be filled with medicine to be aligned in a predetermined direction, a medical device container main body which accommodates the nest, and a sheet-shaped first sealing member which seals the medical device container main body; and a storage container for packing with an outer peripheral surface of the medical device container maintained in a sterile state. The storage container is formed of a storage container main body accommodating the medical device container and having a shape-retaining property, and seals a transfer opening at an upper end of the storage container main body with a sheet-shaped second sealing member having an antibacterial property and air permeability.

Embodiments are directed to a removable cap with a top hole and a seal with a heat induction closure for sealing an opening of a container. Advantageously, the cap and the seal do not need to be removed for a probe to access contents of the container, when used in a diagnostic analyzer, thereby eliminating operator steps of cap removal and seal peeling/perforation. Automated opening of the cap and seal combination is provided by puncturing the seal. The seal retains its opened shape required for unobstructed, non-contact probe access to contents of the container. The seal is comprised of three layers: a first polymer sealing layer capable of being heat-sealed to a container; an aluminum foil layer on top of the first polymer sealing layer, configured to heat seal the first layer by inductive heating; and a second polymer layer on top of the aluminum foil layer for protection.

A blender system includes a blender and container. The blender includes a bottle including a blending chamber with a bottle opening and a shoulder about the bottle opening, and a lid configured to couple with the bottle and that includes a container receiver. The container includes a nutrient receptacle to receive contents with a closed end and a receptacle opening opposite the closed end, a lip about the receptacle opening, and at least two flaps coupled to the lip via a lip hinge and positioned to cover a portion of the opening. Coupling the lid to the bottle with the container in the container receiver presses the lip towards the closed end so that the at least two flaps are pushed open to discharge the contents into the blending chamber.

A labelling arrangement for a multi-part container includes a sleeve-shaped cap element having an interlocking structure adapted to be applied to a first part of the container and coupled to the first part by the interlocking structure. The labelling arrangement further includes a sealing label adapted to be attached to a second part of the container by a second label portion and to surround the applied cap element by a first label portion. The labelling arrangement further includes at least one severing region so that, when the container applied with the labelling arrangement is opened, the labelling arrangement is severable in the severing region and at least a part of the cap element is removable together with the first part of the container from the second part of the container.

A medical device packaging comprises a container having an opening. A medical device is disposed within the container. The medical device includes an adhesive contact face facing the opening. A first cover is disposed over the opening in the container to close the container. A second cover is disposed over the adhesive contact face of the medical device. The first and second covers are connected such that removal of the first cover from the container causes detachment of the second cover from the medical device.
