A packaged oral care implement that includes a package having a blister carton with a receiving trough, an insert tray positioned within the receiving trough, and a backer panel enclosing an open rear end of the receiving trough. The insert tray may be located within a middle axial section of the receiving trough and is in a fixed axial position relative to the blister carton through mating contact between a retaining section of the blister carton and a portion of the insert tray. An oral care implement is positioned within the receiving trough of the blister carton such that an an sate body of the oral care implement is positioned within a product receiving channel of the insert tray to prevent movement of the oral care implement relative to the insert tray.

An oral care kit (1000) including a package (100), a toothbrush (200) positioned within the package and a backer card (300) comprising a window aperture (30). The oral care kit provides the user with the ability to view a portion of the toothbrush, such as the head (210), from both the front and rear of the package while maintaining the package in an enclosed state. In one embodiment of the invention, the package comprises a front cover (101) comprising a substantially transparent window portion (130) and a rear cover (102) comprising a substantially transparent window portion (120), the rear cover coupled to the front cover to form a receiving cavity (115). The backer card is positioned within the receiving cavity between the toothbrush and the rear cover so that the window portion of the rear cover, the window aperture (301) of the backer card, a portion of the toothbrush, and the window portion of the front cover are transversely aligned.

A packaging container for accommodating a medical device (stored object) having a protection target portion to be avoided from contact when taken out and a graspable portion that can be grasped. The packaging container including a seal portion of a sealing film peelably bonded to a container body, which is provided with a difficult-to-peel portion bonded with a relatively strong strength in a part surrounding the protection target portion of the medical device, and an easy-to-peel portion bonded with a weak strength in a part surrounding the graspable portion of the medical device.

A toothbrush having a handle and a head in a display package is described. The head is attached to a neck which is attached to the handle. An indication element is between the head and the handle and is in electrical communication with a power source. A switch connects the indication element to the power source and has a first position where the indication element is not energized and a second position where the indication element is energized. An adequate force applied to the head and an at least partially translucent package body moves the switch to the second position. The package body has a first face and a second face. The first face and/or the second face have a rugose area configured to facilitate application of a force to the head and/or neck through the package body to place the switch in the second position.

A resealable blister package is described that includes a receiving member and a peelable lidding member. The receiving member has a cavity that can hold items, such as consumer products, and the peelable lidding member can be attached to a peripheral portion of the receiving member to seal the items within the cavity. The peelable lidding member includes a first film layer and a second film layer that are laminated via an adhesive layer. The blister package is designed to be opened to provide access to the cavity and the items therein by peeling the peelable lidding member away from the receiving member. The peelable lidding member can be resealed to the receiving member by bringing the lidding member back into contact with exposed portions of the adhesive layer remaining on the peripheral portion of the receiving member.

A sealed single-dose break-open package including a first sheet of semirigid plastic material; a second sheet of flexible plastic material superimposed on and sealed to the first sheet to define a sealed pocket containing a dose of a product; wherein the first sheet of semirigid plastic material includes at least one substantially straight first incision positioned at a first edge of the first sheet, and at least one shaped incision positioned in a central portion of the first sheet, laterally and at a distance from the straight first incision.

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 packaging system for an elongate tool to be coupled to a surgical device. A segmented packaging body comprises a first distal section, a second distal section, and a proximal section. The first and second distal sections provide a clamshell casing to the distal end of the tool, and the proximal section is pivotally coupled to the first distal section and configured to receive the proximal end of the tool. The packaging body may comprise a living hinge and perforations to facilitate mounting the tool on the surgical device without the user touching the tool, thereby minimizing risk of contamination and/or injury. The proximal section may be detached from the clamshell casing at the perforations after the tool is mounted on the surgical device. Secondary packaging may be provided to receive the packaging body. Methods for mounting the tool disposed within the packaging system are also disclosed.

A wax ring tray configured to store a wax ring therein includes a base, a first flexible member and a second flexible member. The first and second flexible members are positioned radially outward from a center of the base, and extend from the base to respective first and second ends. The first flexible member and the second flexible member are configured to transition between respective first positions and second positions. In the first position of the first flexible member, the first end of the first flexible member is positioned radially outward relative to the first end in the second position. In the first position of the second flexible member, a second end of the second flexible member is positioned radially outward relative to the second end of the second flexible member in the second position.

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.
