A one-piece closure includes first and second closure portions. The first closure portion includes a top wall portion and an annular skirt portion depending from the top wall portion. The annular skirt portion includes an internal thread formation for mating engagement with an external thread formation of a container. The second closure portion includes a tamper-evident band. The tamper-evident band depends from and is partially detachably connected to the annular skirt portion by a first frangible connection. The closure includes polymeric material and wood filler.

An insulating container can be configured to retain a volume of liquid, and include a canister having a first inner wall having a first end having an opening extending into an internal reservoir, and a second outer wall forming an outer shell. The opening can be sealed by a spout adapter, the spout adapter having a spout channel extending between the internal reservoir and a spout opening, smaller than the opening of the canister. The spout opening may be sealed with a cap having a magnetic top surface, and the spout adapter may be further removably coupled to a lid that may be used as a cup into which a volume of the liquid can be poured.

A universal capping system to implement in any bottle-coupling part to sealingly cap over bottle openings of various sizes. Such bottle-coupling part can be a douche nozzle, a liquor pour spout, an olive oil pour spout, and just a bottle closing cap. This universal capping system has a cap top and a downward-extending resilient circular seal.

A package includes a container and a closure cap for mounting on the container. The closure cap is coupled to a neck of the container to block selectively removal of product stored within the container at the selection of a user.

Systems and methods are provided for transferring fluid between a container and a reservoir. In an embodiment, a system may include a container having an interior volume configured to hold a volume of fluid. An adapter may be associated with the container for providing fluid communication with the volume of fluid. A receiver may be configured to be fluidly coupled with a reservoir. The receiver may be configured to releasably engage the adapter, and may include a valve configured to be opened when the adapter is engaged with the receiver to allow fluid transfer between the container and the reservoir.

A biodegradable container including a unitary polymeric body element having a top portion and a cylindrical body portion. The top portion has a cylindrical neck wherein the cylindrical neck defines an inner surface and an outer surface. The container further includes a polymeric bottom element welded to the cylindrical body portion of the unitary polymeric body element. A polymeric cap defines an internal rim configured to be received by the inner surface of the cylindrical neck. The polymeric cap includes an external cover having an interior surface which may be tapered so that the outer surface of the cylindrical neck and the interior surface of the external cover form an inner seal. The interior surface of the external cover may also form an outer seal with the outer surface of the cylindrical neck when the polymeric cap is in a closed position.

This disclosure provides new closure and finish structures suited for small and light-weight carbonated beverage packaging that provide surprisingly improved carbonation retention and greater shelf life, while still achieving light weight. This closure and finish presented herein are particularly suited to small PET containers for carbonated beverages, for example less than or about 400 mL and provide good carbonation retention and shelf life.

A bottle enclosure for holding a longneck bottle having a top, neck, shoulder, and main body. The bottle enclosure can include an upper portion configured to fit around the neck, shoulder, and main body of the longneck bottle, a cap removably coupled to an upper end of the upper portion and configured to fit over the top of the longneck bottle, and a base portion removably coupled to a bottom end of the upper portion. An elastomeric component can be arranged on an interior surface of one or both of the upper portion or the base portion.

A closure that remains coupled to a container after the upper portion of the closure has been rotatably removed from the container. The closure may include an attachment channel, which includes alternating segments of linear openings and frangible connections. The attachment channel may also include two hinge bridges that remain unbroken when one or more of the frangible connections are broken.

An insulating container can be configured to retain a volume of liquid, and include a canister having a first inner wall having a first end having an opening extending into an internal reservoir, and a second outer wall forming an outer shell. The opening can be sealed by a spout adapter, the spout adapter having an internal passageway extending between the internal reservoir and a spout opening, which may be smaller than the opening of the canister. The spout opening may be sealed with an upper cap that has a magnetic top surface. The upper cap may be selectively coupled to seal the spout opening, or may be magnetically coupled to a magnetic docking surface of a docking structure on the spout adapter.
