Single and dual packaging for fill needles and safety needles are described herein. Such packaging can include hard packaging or blister packs. Such packaging can include a premature activation prevention element disposed on an inner sidewall of a compartment of the packaging to nest within a recess of a tether of a safety needle device to prevent accidental activation of the safety needle device prior to use by the user.

A food container includes a body having a first and second receptacle. A first food product is contained in the first receptacle. A second food product is contained in the second receptacle. A lid includes two portions coupable to the body, a first portion configured to enclose the first receptacle and a second portion configured to enclose the second receptacle. Each portion has a permeability, and the first portion has a permeability different than the second portion.

The present subject matter refers a blister-strip based dispenser (100) comprising a lever arm rotatable on receiving a user-actuation. A chassis (106, 108) is provided for supporting placement of at least one blister-strip (104) in the form of the coil. The blister-strip (104) comprises medicament-pockets at at-least one side of the blister-strip (104). A plurality of interconnected-rollers (110, 114, 116) comprises at-least one roller linked to the lever-arm and rotatable by the lever arm. The plurality of interconnected rollers (110, 114, 116) are configured for anchoring the blister-strip (104) from one end for enabling the placement in a coil-form and unwinding of the blister strip (104) from the coil-form, guiding at least two split-portions of the blister-strip (104), anchoring an end of each of said at-least two portions of the blister-strip (104) for winding the at-least two portions separately, and anchoring an end of a lid-foil peeled off the at least two portions for winding the lid-foil.

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.

To be able to detect seal breakage of a container portion for containing an article by a simpler scheme, there is provided a signal processing device including: a processor that executes a program; and a memory that stores the program for causing the processor to function as a detection unit that transmits a signal to one or more signal lines formed of a breakable material in such a manner that the signal passes through regions corresponding to one or more respective container portions of a package for containing articles, and detects seal breakage of each container portion on the basis of whether the transmitted signal returns via each region.

A sheet laminate for being used as a puncturable top web for a blister package, comprising: an aluminium base sheet layer; at least one tie layer comprising polyolefin; a welding layer comprising polyester or polypropylene; wherein the welding layer and the tie layer are coextrusion coated on the base sheet layer so that the at least one tie layer is disposed between the base sheet layer and the welding layer, whereby the welding layer is attached to the base sheet layer by the at least one tie layer. A blister package, wherein the sheet laminate is attached to a bottom web with product cavities. A method of manufacture of the sheet laminate and of the blister package, wherein the coextrusion coating step of the manufacture of the blister package is carried out simultaneously with extrusion lamination of a paper layer.

A container forming apparatus includes a plurality of forming members that have outer forming surfaces, which are shaped to form pockets in a sheet of material. A plurality of actuators are in mechanical connection with the forming members. The actuators are able to extend and retract the forming members. A controller is in electrical communication with the plurality of actuators. The controller is able to simultaneously extend any one or any combination of the forming members to create a plurality of pockets in a determined pattern in the sheet of material to produce a customized blister pack.

The present invention relates to a blister pack that comprises a base laminate with a sealing layer and a lid laminate with a sealing layer, the base laminate having at least one cavity housing a product. The base laminate and the lid laminate are directly sealed to each other via their identical sealing layers whereby the seal comprises two different sealing subzones, a first sealing subzone providing a permanent seal and a second sealing subzone providing a peelable seal.

A push-through cover foil, including at least one material layer with material weakenings introduced into it in a regular pattern, through which locally a material cohesion of at least one material of the cover foil is broken, where the material weakenings proceed in the thickness direction of the cover foil without completely penetrating through the cover foil, where the material weakenings exhibit a linear course orthogonally to the thickness direction, where the cover foil exhibits a plurality of parallel rows of material weakenings, where each row exhibits a plurality of material weakenings parallel to one another and arranged with a weakening spacing from one another, where the parallel rows of material weakenings are arranged with a row spacing from one another such that neither the material weakenings of the individual rows among themselves nor the material weakenings of adjacent rows intersect one another.

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.
