A process for manufacturing a container with a closure-release mechanism relates to thermoforming a plastic sheet to form a container with a clam shell locking system in order to facilitate a secure closure and easy opening packaging container. The clam shell locking arrangement comprises a post which is secured in an aperture when the container is in closed state. The post is a projection or protrusion in a vertical or nearly vertical sidewall of the cover of the thermoformed package and fits securely into the aperture, which is a cut-out made in the outer, and optionally also the inner, wall segments of the vertical or nearly vertical surfaces of the base section of the thermoplastic containers.

A box assembly includes a main body and a cap mounted on the main body. The main body is formed with a receiving space and an opening connected to the receiving space. The main body is provided with a plurality of first locking structures located adjacent to the opening. The cap includes a covering plate and a mounting member extending sideward from the covering plate. The mounting member of the cap is inserted into the opening of the main body. The mounting member of the cap is provided with a plurality of second locking structures releasably locked with the first locking structures of the main body.

Containers and methods for making and using the same are disclosed. The containers include internal fluoropolymer surfaces, optionally comprising fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP), within the storage compartments. Such fluoropolymer surfaces may be incorporated into the containers via in-mold labeling, for example. Optionally, the containers are useful for storing cannabis extracts that are typically sticky. Low surface energy of the robust fluoropolymer surfaces in such containers help to prevent adherence of the sticky products to the container surfaces.

A closure for a container is described where the container has an open end and a closed end, the closure being configured to engage the open end of the container, wherein the closure comprises: a collar configured to engage the container; a lid connected to the collar by at least one hinge; wherein to facilitate engagement the collar is configured to extend over and surround the open end of the container such that an inner surface impinges on, or is immediately adjacent to, an outer surface of the open end of the container; characterised in that a plurality of beads extend outwardly from the inner surface of the collar to fixedly hold the collar in engagement with the container, wherein said beads are located substantially uniformly relative to each other and occupy less than 50% of the inner surface of the collar. A container is also described in which is provided with a docking on an inner wall of the collar suitable for releasably suspending a scoop.

A lid for outfitting a container is provided. The lid includes a cover shell defining a first cavity, a first lid rim defining an opening, and a hinge member constructed to pivotally interconnect the first lid rim with the cover shell. The cover shell releasably lockable to the first lid rim.

A packaging, in particular for foodstuffs, including a tray (1) made of cardboard or paperboard and a lid (51), which, when the packaging is in the closed state, is fitted on the tray, wherein lugs (57) of the lid (51) engage in openings (7) which are formed in wall portions (8) of at least two opposite side walls (2, 4) of the tray. The side walls of the tray which have the openings have, in each case in the region above the wall portion which has the at least one opening, a freely upwardly projecting tongue (9), which is connected via a bending line (10) to the wall portion which has the at least one opening, and is located beneath the tongue. In the fitted state of the lid, the tongues of the side walls butt against sloping portions (59) of the lid.

An apparatus and method for manufacturing a container with a closure-release mechanism. The process in particular relates to thermoforming a plastic sheet to form a container with a clam shell locking system in order to facilitate a secure closure and easy opening packaging container. The clam shell locking arrangement comprises a post which is secured in an aperture when the container is in closed state. The post is a projection or protrusion in a vertical or nearly vertical sidewall of the cover of the thermoformed package and fits securely into the aperture, which is a cut-out made in the outer, and optionally also the inner, wall segments of the vertical or nearly vertical surfaces of the base section of the thermoplastic containers.

A combi box for the transport and storage of goods, containing a lower part and an upper part of a cut up plastic crate, with a middle part placed between the lower part and the upper part. The inserted middle part is connected on the lower perimeter with the lower part and on the upper perimeter with the upper part by means of locking joints, wherein each locking joint contains the first locking portion formed on a vertical rib of the lower part and on a vertical rib of the upper part, wherein this first locking portion fits into the second locking portion formed on the lower perimeter and on the upper perimeter of the middle part. The second locking portion is surrounded by a solid surface or a cut is provided from the second locking portion towards the open sides of the middle part.

The present invention is directed to containers and packaging that incorporate novel tamper evident features that make prominent the evidence of tamper. In particular, the novel tamper prominent containers of the present invention comprise newly designed tamper prominent images, i.e., prominent continuity control (PCC) images. Additionally, the present invention provides novel methods of increasing prominence of the evidence of tamper with a container, e.g., of consumer goods, by incorporating prominent continuity control (PCC) images integrated with a button locking assembly that must be removed to open a locked container making prominent the evidence of tamper through clear visualization in the PCC image, e.g., prominently displaying an image of a broken lock after full fracture and removal of the button locking assembly.

The assembly 100 includes a container 102 and a lid 104. The container 102 includes a main body 110 and a container rim 120 surrounding the main body 110. The container rim 120 has an outer peripheral horizontal top surface 122 and an inner peripheral horizontal top surface 124 vertically above the outer peripheral horizontal top surface. The lid 104 includes a ring-shaped lid frame 130 and a membrane 132 that is attached over a top surface of the lid frame 130 and seals with inner peripheral horizontal top surface.
