Payload container and system for delivering a payload to a wellbore, the payload container includes a blister container having a cavity formed therein and an edge about the perimeter of the cavity, one or more payload substances contained within the cavity, a lidding material to cover the cavity, and optionally, an adhesive to bond the lidding material to the edge of the cavity, so that the one or more payload substances can be released in response to an external stimulus. The wellbore payload delivery system includes a plurality of payload containers and a pump system for injecting the one or more payload containers into a wellbore, the pump system has a pump and a length of tubing coupled with the pump and extending to a zone of a subterranean formation adjacent to the wellbore.

A method and apparatus for manufacturing medical paper for medical sterilization packaging, medical paper and medical sterilization packaging are disclosed. A paper web is formed of fibrous substrate comprising cellulosic fibers and optionally synthetic fibers, with opposite first and second sides. On-line with the forming of the paper web, reinforcing material is applied on the first side and pressed into structure of the paper web such that delamination resistance of the structure is increased. Sealing material is applied on the second side of the paper web on-line with the forming of the paper web.

A flexible thermoformed dispensing package for a flowable material includes an integrally formed dispensing tube extending from the container portion having an internal extension spaced apart from the side walls defining a recessed chamber defined by a pair of integral thermoformed walls extending from the bottom surface of the container chamber and terminating proximate the base when the package is in a vertical position to facilitate sipping of a beverage from the container portion; alternatively, a straw is placed in the dispensing tube to reach the base of the package. In another embodiment, at least one integrally formed internal dividing wall extends from the sealed end of the dispensing tube and intersects an interior wall to define separate dispensing chambers, where the sealed ends of each of the dispensing chambers can be independently opened along a weakened transverse parting line and separated into separate dispensing channels along a longitudinal parting line.

Films including a water-soluble polymeric material and a vapor-deposited inorganic coating are disclosed. The water-soluble polymeric material may comprise polyvinyl alcohol. The vapor-deposited inorganic coating may include a metal oxide. The vapor-deposited inorganic coating may include a plurality of microfractures. The films may form part of a package and/or a water-soluble unit dose article.

Melatonin tablets with a high concentration of citric acid are packaged in a blister package that enhances storage stability. Such a packaging material includes a blister film forming a cavity holding the tablet therein. The blister film includes a polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film having a thickness of 180 μm to 270 μm coated with a polyvinylidene chloride (PVDC) coating having a coating weight of 110 g/m.sup.2 to 130 g/m.sup.2. An aluminum foil lid closes the cavity and encapsulates the tablet within the blister film and lid. The lid has a thickness of 20 μm to 30 μm.

A blister package for a contact lens includes a base sheet and a sealing sheet. Either the base sheet or the sealing sheet includes a bowl, and the other sheet includes a dome and a sealing surface. The dome has a radius of curvature of about 13 mm to 19 mm and a height of less than 7 mm relative to the sealing surface. The dome is configured to protrude into the bowl to form a cavity. Related methods are also described.

The present invention relates to a method of packaging character ice cream using a horizontal disposable plastic film mold as an inner packaging material. Ice cream packaging material uses a horizontal disposable plastic film mold as the inner packaging material, in which a horizontal disposable character mold for maintaining a shape of bar-type character ice cream is made by forming a plastic film in a character shape or other stereoscopic shapes. Ice cream liquid is injected into the horizontal disposable plastic film mold and then frozen, and the ice cream is packaged together with a rear reinforcement material without separating the ice cream from the horizontal disposable plastic film mold, thereby preventing a surface of the ice cream from being oxidized or preventing the character shape from being damaged.
