A capsule or container is provided having optimized recycling attributes. The capsule is provided for use in a machine for preparing a consumable product from capsules. The capsule includes a body that defines an interior space with an opening. A cover is disposed over the opening. A filter is disposed in the interior space to define a chamber between the filter and the cover. The body, filter and cover are preferably formed of the same substantially pure polymer material. Ingredients are disposed in the interior space for preparing a desired product. A hinge is provided to tether the cover to the body. The cover is attached with a peelable seal to the body so that cover may be peeled away from the body while remaining tethered at the hinge.

Embodiments of the present invention relate to a disposable single-use pedicure kit and packaging solution for manicure and pedicure kits, or other multi-step beauty treatments. The kit includes an exterior package, where at least a portion of the exterior package is transparent, a bath bomb and a cup including a predetermined quantity of a beauty product between 10 grams and 100 grams, and a non-re-sealable closure seal that seals the predetermined quantity of the beauty product in the cup, and where the bath bomb and the cup are contained in the exterior package and where at least a portion of the bath bomb and at least a portion of the non-re-sealable closure seal of the cup is visible through the transparent portion of the exterior package.

Container (1) having a container body (10) having a sealing lip (12). The container (1) comprises a bottom perforated film (20) adhered to the sealing lip (12) at a first adhesion strength (S1), a top film (30) adhered to the bottom perforated film (20) at a second adhesion strength (S2) at locations not vertically aligned with a seal end (38), and wherein the top film (30) adheres to the bottom perforated film (20) at a third adhesion strength (S3) at the seal end (38). The third adhesion strength (S3) is greater than the first adhesion strength (S1) which is greater than the second adhesion strength (S2), such that the top film (30) is peelable relative to the bottom perforated film (24) at the opening end (36), and the top film (30) is peelable with the bottom perforated film (20) relative to the container body (10) at the seal end (38).

A packaging container for holding contents such as fresh food. The container comprises a tray having a flange, a pre-formed scaling ring and a flexible film for sealing in the contents of the tray. The sealing ring is made from fiber, filament or tape (FFT) that is shaped into a shape that matches the shape of the tray flange. The sealing ring is adhered to the tray flange by heat welding or other means and the flexible film is adhered to the sealing ring.

A dual dispenser has two front faces that are made from a hard plastic material thereby retaining its shape and resisting deformation thereof; here, each container is associated with a single front face as the body of the container is heat treated or adhesively attached to an appropriate edge of a corresponding front face. A dual dispenser as taught herein has a first container and a second container that each have a male member and female orifice associated with an appropriate front face of the first and second containers for a total of two male members and two female orifices. The male member of one front face is inserted within the female orifice of the second front face and vice versa so that the two containers engage one another across the front faces.

The container has a blow molded piece forming a hollow plastic body. The body has a bottom and an annular side wall longitudinally extending from an annular base to a top. A thin flexible lid of foil material covers and seals a wide top opening of the container. The top is connected to the outer rim of an annular top flange. The top flange protrudes radially inward and delimit the opening at an inner rim. The lid is axially adhered to the flange upper face and can be peeled away, optionally using a pull tab that extends beyond the outer rim. Except at region of the pull tab, the annular outer edge of the lid extends parallel to the outer rim, not beyond 1.0 or 2.0 mm from the outer rim.

A packaging or wrapping for a food product, capable of resisting to high temperatures and of eliminating the overpressure generated by the water vapour inside the packaging due to temperature rise, without the same packaging having any aperture communicating its inside and the outside environment. The packaging is also adapted to restrain/reduce the emission of odor-generating substances that are generated during the heating or baking of the packaged food product, with respect to what occurs in the absence of a packaging, or with a packaging provided with apertures.

The present disclosure, in one embodiment, relates to a packaging assembly for holding liquids, viscous material, or particulate material. The packaging assembly includes a carton having side and bottom walls and an open top. A self-supporting plastic liner fits inside of the carton and is for containing liquids, viscous material, or particulate material. The liner has a side wall, a closed bottom end, and an open top end having an outwardly-projecting rim. The rim has a radially-extending flange portion, and a dependent skirt portion. When the self-supporting plastic liner is inside of the carton, the dependent skirt portion of the rim hangs over the side walls of the carton. A lidding material is removeably affixed to the rim of the plastic liner. A carton lid closes off the open top of the carton.

A cartridge and a method for testing a biological sample are provided, wherein the cartridge is filled, in an open packaging, with the sample to be tested, and wherein the packaging holds and/or supports the cartridge in a latching manner in an open state.
