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.

The invention provides a container for infant formula food with anti-counterfeit measures. In order to prevent counterfeiting, the container comprises a cover for closing the container. An outer scannable code is provided on the container so as to be scannable from the outside. Inside the container, a gas-tight membrane seal for sealing a food content of the container prior to use is provided. On the gas-tight membrane seal, an inner scannable code is provided so as to be only scannable after opening the container.

A container having a childproof safety device is provided. The container has a container body with a container opening, comprising a container closure for the container opening, said closure being movable from a closed to an open position, and comprising a removable tamper-proof element. A child safety device that comprises an actuating element is associated with the container closure. The invention is characterized in that the tamper-proof element blocks movement of at least a portion of the actuating element and in that after the tamper-proof element is removed at least a portion of the actuating element is movable from a first position, in which the container closure is secured, to a second position, in which the container closure is not secured.

A container adapted for storing a product includes a body having a bottom wall and a side wall. The bottom wall and the side wall define an internal storage compartment adapted for storage of a product. The side wall has an outer peripheral surface. A cover is configured to be removably engaged with the body. The cover includes a top wall and a peripheral flange having an inner surface. The inner surface is configured to interact with the base when the cover is received over the outer peripheral surface of the side wall so as to form an interface. A label is configured to substantially cover the interface, wherein the label includes a tear thread positioned between an outer surface of the container and a rear surface of the label and located substantially at the interface of the cover and the body.

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 tamper indicating closure cap or overseal comprises a top wall, and an annular top wall skirt attached to a periphery of the top wall. A locking member is attached to the top wall skirt so as to be movable between: i) a first position projecting inwardly with respect to the top wall for application of the closure cap or overseal to a container opening and/or to a container closure plug and ii) a second position projecting inwardly and upwardly towards the top wall, thereby to lock the closure cap or overseal to the container closure and/or closure plug.

A removable sealing strip and method is provided for sealing a lid removably secured to a top portion of a container. The removable sealing strip includes a strip removably affixed to a substrate and has a first portion extending from a first end thereof, a second portion extending from the first portion, and a third portion extending between the second portion of the strip and a second end thereof. The strip is foldable along a fold line such that an inner surface of the first portion of strip binds to an to inner surface of the second portion of the strip so as to define a tab on the strip. The inner surface of the third portion of the strip is affixable to the lid and to the top portion of the container to substantially inhibits removal of the lid from the top portion of the container. The tab is configured to facilitate removal of the third portion of the strip from the lid and the top portion of the container.

The present invention relates to a dispensing closure comprising a base element, which can be attached to a neck of a container, a flip-top lid, being attached to said base element by a hinge and being movable between a closed and an opened position, and a tamper-evident element extending in a circumferential direction around at least part of the circumference of said dispensing closure, wherein the tamper-evident element has at least one weakening region extending at least over part of the height of the tamper-evident element and/or wherein a shoulder region of the base element, to which frangible elements of the tamper-evident element are attached, is inclined such that it declines in an outward direction of the base element.

Method and system for confirming the integrity of a tamper-evident seal based on a comparison of the value of at least one parameter describing the physical structure of a predetermined breaking point provided in the seal, which value is determined from at least one captured image of the seal, with a pre-determined reference parameter value.

Disclosed is a closure element for a receptacle (40) holding a pharmaceutical content, comprising: a closure capsule (10) comprising a lateral area (13), a closed end and an open end, a tear strip comprising a grip tab for opening the closure capsule (10) and a closure label (30) comprising a web-shaped substrate which has a lower side provided with an adhesive;
wherein the closure capsule (10) is arranged on the receptacle (40) in such a way that the closure capsule (10) covers an opening (41) of the receptacle (40), and wherein a first subarea (38) of the label (30) is arranged on the receptacle (40) and a second subarea (39) of the label (30) is arranged on the closure capsule (10) and the tear strip in such a way that the grip tab of the tear strip is not covered by the label (30).
