A method of collecting packaging material including a chain of blister packs is characterized in that after use of a product contained in a blister, a chain of emptied blister packs forms a concertina fold, wherein all the blisters are of the same shape in the chain of blister packs such that the repeating units of the chain of blister packs are linked in such a way that their cavities fit into each other when stacking in an alternating way.

A mold configuration for forming a pocket in a film comprising: a film support surface; a perimeter edge at said film support surface; wall surfaces inward of the perimeter edge defining a mold cavity; the wall surfaces including transition wall surfaces extending to a bottom wall surface; and a plateau surface inward of the perimeter edge. In one form, the perimeter edge includes sharp corner profile perimeter edge portions defining at least one sharp corner profile. A method of forming a pouch, includes using the disclosed mold configuration.

A break-open single-dose sealed package and method for the production thereof; the sealed package has: a first sheet of semi-rigid plastic material; a second sheet of flexible plastic material set on top of and welded to the first sheet along an annular weld, so as to define a sealed pocket containing a dose of a product; and a pre-weakened area that develops transversely and is obtained in a central area of the first sheet; the pocket is divided into two distinct and separated chambers which are insulated from one another and each contain a corresponding component of the product; and the pocket is divided into the two chambers due to a central weld connecting the second sheet to the first sheet and is weak, so as to be broken by exerting pressure on at least one of the two chambers.

According to the invention, said macroblister contains a number T of medicament portions, characterized in that T is at least 60 and the flat body has a dimension in the range of 200 mm200 mm to 1200 mm1200 mm.

A lid material for PTP contains a polypropylene-based resin having a weight-average molecular weight of 2.010.sup.5 to 3.510.sup.5 and has an enthalpy of crystal fusion of 70 J/g or more as measured by a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC).

A multi-layer film structure for use in forming blister packaging. The multi-layer structure includes a first polymeric layer having a first surface and a second surface, the first polymeric layer comprising a metalized polyethylene teraphthalate, a second polymeric layer having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface of the second polymeric layer disposed adjacent the second surface of the first polymeric layer, the second polymeric layer comprising a cyclic olefin or a homopolymer of chlorotrifluoroethylene, and a third polymeric layer having a first surface and a second surface, the first surface of the third polymeric layer disposed adjacent the second surface of the second polymeric layer, the third polymeric layer comprising polypropylene or polyvinyl chloride. A method of making a multi-layer film structure and a packaging structure are also provided.

Disclosed is a medication dispensing device adaptable to receive a medication dispensing tray, the tray having a slidable overlapping foil layer to incrementally expose the compartments of the medication dispensing tray. The dispensing device delivers the medication dispensed from the tray compartments to the patient through a funnel and staggered rotatable cup system to individually dispense each of the compartments of the tray.

A liquid accommodating container includes an accommodating portion configured to accommodate, in a hermetically closed state, a liquid for testing a measuring apparatus, a storage portion configured to store the liquid, and a coupling portion configured to couple the accommodating portion and the storage portion in a state that one of the accommodating portion and the storage portion is foldable back to the other.

There is provided a pack for a product (12) to facilitate the dispensing of a liquid or particulate matter emanating from the product via a first openable portion (17). The pack comprises two films (13, 14) sealed together about a periphery to define a volume in which the product (12) is contained. The films at the openable portion (17) can be peeled apart in order to create an opening, but the size of the opening is limited by the provision of stronger connections (52) on either side of the openable portion.
