A food container for wicking moisture from a food product stored in the container including a food receptacle having an interior volume and an opening for permitting a food product to be placed in and removed from the receptacle, a lid adapted for being positioned onto and sealing the opening, a desiccant reservoir positioned on an underside of the lid for being exposed to the interior volume of the receptacle and adapted for containing a desiccant material, and a plurality of apertures in the reservoir for allowing air flow communication between the interior of the receptacle and the reservoir whereby moisture given off by the food product contained in the receptacle is absorbed by the desiccant material to aid in maintaining freshness of the food.

The blister pack for medicinal products comprises a bottom film in which blister pockets are formed, which are surrounded by webs of the bottom film. The blister pockets comprise a two-level shape with a first recess and second recess situated lower down. A lidding film is sealed to the webs of the bottom film and to a strip of active material, which is arranged in each blister pocket. The medicinal product is accommodated in the second recess, and the strip of active material is accommodated in the first recess. The first recess comprises, in a bottom area thereof, a peripheral rib, which extends around the second recess, or at least two projecting knobs, which are arranged next to the second recess, wherein the strip of active material rests on the rib or on the knobs.

An apparatus is provided including a sealable fluid-tight container comprising leafy organic material and a one-way fluid-tight valve, a pressure source, and means for connecting the pressure source to the sealable fluid-tight container such that the pressure source applies fluid pressure to the sealable fluid-tight container via the one-way fluid-tight valve. The pressure source is configured to provide fluid to the sealable fluid-tight container comprising the leafy organic material and the one-way fluid-tight valve keeps received fluid from escaping the sealable fluid-tight container.

A humidity control system includes a two-way humidity control material, a plant extract, and a package housing the two-way humidity control material and the plant extract. A method of flavoring a product and controlling the humidity of an environment in a container includes inserting a humidity control system in the container and enclosing the product in the container. The humidity control system includes a two-way humidity control material, a plant extract, and a package housing the two-way humidity control material and the plant extract.

A packaging system for abrasive articles that includes a container portion sized to receive the abrasive articles. The system also includes a lid portion that removably couples to the container portion. The system also includes a rechargeable moisture control feature, housed within the packaging system. The rechargeable moisture control feature removes moisture from an atmosphere within the packaging system. The system also includes a moisture indicator that indicates whether moisture is present within the container portion.

A plurality of heat dissipation substrates stacked on each other, intermediate sheets disposed under a lowermost heat dissipation substrate, on an uppermost heat dissipation substrate, and between heat dissipation substrates adjacent to each other, a drying agent disposed over or under the plurality of heat dissipation substrates, and a bag that seals the plurality of heat dissipation substrates, the plurality of intermediate sheets, and the drying agent.

A humidity control system including: a two-way humidity control material; a substantially pure plant extract blended with the two-way humidity control material to form a mixture; and a package housing the two-way humidity control material and the substantially pure plant extract, wherein the substantially pure plant extract is between about 0.025% and about 5.0% by weight of the mixture.

An air-permeable packaging material which includes a non-perforated polyolefin layer having a thickness of 3 ?m to 18 ?m and constituted of at least one polymer selected from the group consisting of polypropylene and polyethylene and a net-shaped reinforcing layer; a package which includes the air-permeable packaging material, the non-perforated polyolefin layer facing outward, and which contains an oxygen scavenger, a desiccant, a deodorant, an insect repellent, or a fragrance; and a method for producing the package.

Packaging has an outer sleeve, which surrounds an interior space for receiving an object, such as a sterilized medical implant. A separate container is arranged in the interior space and surrounds an absorber in a gas-tight manner, such that a gas present in the interior space cannot pass to the absorber. The container is configured to be opened by the application of force when the outer sleeve is closed, such that a gas disposed in the interior space can pass to the absorber and can be absorbed thereby. In preferred embodiments, the absorber absorbs air with the reactive constituents O.sub.2 and/or H.sub.2O. Depending on the application, however, other gases can also be absorbed by the absorber. A method for packaging is also provided.

The container closure system, having a container for capsules, drages, tablets, and the like, and a screw-on cap that can be screwed onto the container, is characterized in that a dispensing aid has a blocking element having a suspension device, and in that the suspension device is attached to the inner wall of the container and has holes for capsules, drages, tablets, and the like, wherein the hole is smaller than the container opening.
