A paperboard packaging container for bulk solids includes a container body having a container wall extending from a container bottom edge to a container body opening and having an inner surface facing an inner compartment in the packaging container, and a lid for closing the container body opening. An upper reinforcing rim is applied at the container body opening and extends along the opening edge, defining a perimeter of a container access opening and is joined to the inner surface of the container wall by means of a weld seal which extends around the container body opening and has an upper edge including a first abutment surface arranged to abut against a second abutment surface on an inner lid surface with the lid in a closed position on the container access opening and form a tight seal between the rim and the lid with the lid in the closed position.

The present invention is an integrated wide-mouth bottle cap with a disposable and breakable inner plug comprising a lower cover, an upper cover and an inner plug. The lower cover comprises an opening. The upper cover extends integrally from one side of the lower cover, and the upper cover rotates relatively to the lower cover to fasten the lower cover and seals the opening. The inner plug integrally extends from the lower cover adjacent to the periphery of opening and seals the opening. The inner plug comprises a tearing zone between the inner plug and the lower cover, the inner plug comprises a tearing member for a user to pull in order to drive the inner plug displacement relative to the lower cover, so as to disengage the inner plug from the lower cover and expose the opening by tearing off the tearing zone.

A container cap (100) configured to couple to an access opening of a container, and the access opening having a seal configured to cover the access opening. The container cap includes a cap body (102) including a cylindrical-shaped side wall (104) having a bottom edge (108) that defines an opening to an interior of the cap body, and a top wall portion integrated with the cylindrical-shaped side wall and at least partially enclosing the interior of the cap body. The container cap further includes a seal opening assembly integrated with the cap body. The seal opening assembly includes a slot (114) defined in the top wall portion of the cap body, and a seal piercing member (116) formed on a first side of the slot. The seal piercing member is configured to pierce the seal covering the access opening.

Provided is a container for storing, preserving, identifying, tracking and transporting a federally controlled substance having a child resistant and senior friendly lid, and a process for identifying and tracking federally controlled substances within the re-sealable containers. The federally controlled substance containers include a two-piece child resistant and senior friendly lid and a 2-factor authentication identification tag, as well as a microchip for identifying the container controlled substance contents and tracking the container. Controlled substance contents within the containers are optimized for long term storage by removal of the oxygen therein, and the containers and controlled substance contents can be readily identified, detected, tracked and traced after being filled with a federally controlled substance.

A volume-reducing overlapping-scale container system and method for reducing empty air space within the container as the contents are removed, providing a spiral-grooved overlapping-scale container body with a continuous downward spiraling groove along a cylindrical side surface having overlapping scales that provide added structure to the container while allowing easy cutting from an acute angle, and providing a cutting cap to seal the container body, and having mounted inside a reducing cutter to follow and cut through the continuous downward spiraling groove when the cutting cap is turned in a nominally clockwise direction, yielding a smaller container and a tail of removed material, a tail channel within the cutting cap to allow passage of the tail of removed material out of the cutting cap, and a tail-trimming cutter that moves away from the tail of removed material during clockwise rotation of the cutting cap, and moves into and cuts the tail of removed material when the cutting cap is rotated counterclockwise.

A cap is provided for coupling to a container. The cap includes a closure and an insert that may be coupled together prior to affixing the cap to a container. The insert may include a removable wall coupled to a pull tab, the removable wall detaching from the insert in response to a user pulling on the pull tab.

A fitment (20, 20A) is provided for a flexible, collapsible container (22) with an opening. The fitment (20, 20A) has a body (24, 24A) with an inner end (31) and an outer end (32) and an access passage (30) for communicating with an interior of the container (22). The body (24, 24A) has a height defined between the inner end (31) and outer end (32). The body (24, 24A) has a sealing portion (36, 36A) for being attached to the interior of the container (22). The sealing portion (36) has a major dimension (MD) oriented generally transverse of the height of the body (24, 24A). The fitment (20, 20A) further has a pour lip (46, 46A) that extends from the body outer end (32) and projects laterally relative to the access passage (30). The pour lip (46, 46A) defines a pour path (PP).

A volume-reducing container system and method for reducing empty air space within the container as the contents are removed, providing a spiral-grooved container body with a continuous downward spiraling groove along a cylindrical side surface, and providing a cutting cap to seal the container body, and having mounted inside a reducing cutter to follow and cut through the continuous downward spiraling groove when the cutting cap is turned in a nominally clockwise direction, yielding a smaller container and a tail of removed material, a tail channel within the cutting cap to allow passage of the tail of removed material out of the cutting cap, and a tail-trimming cutter which moves away from the tail of removed material during clockwise rotation of the cutting cap, and moves into and cuts the tail of removed material when the cutting cap is rotated counterclockwise.

A closure cap assembly for a container having a spout is described. The closure cap assembly includes a spout adapter and a cap. The spout adapter has a tubular body portion and a pull portion. The body portion is configured to be fixed to the spout of the container, and the pull portion is positioned in a flow passage of the body portion. A proximal end of the pull portion is connected to the body portion to form a seal across the flow passage. The distal end extends beyond the distal end of the body portion. The cap has a top end and a bottom end, is connected to the external surface of the body portion, and is connected to the pull portion in a way that the pull portion separates from the body portion as the cap is removed from the body portion.
