In one aspect, new dispenser components for use with portable fluid dispensing apparatus are provided. The present systems can be used to administer to a user water and other fluids optionally together with one or more other ingestibles such as flavoring, or a health supplement. In another aspect, new rotor or disk units that may comprise one or more pods or packets that contain ingestible material(s). In a further aspect, one or more of such pods or packets that may comprise one or more ingestible materials.

The present invention relates to a resealable membrane lid for a container comprising a peelable portion and a removable portion. When the resealable peelable portion is peeled back, the seal onto the container is not disturbed. When the removable portion is removed from the container, the container contents may be accessed. The peelable portion may be resealed onto the container at any point in the process.

A tamper evident tabbed sealing member for sealing to a rim surrounding a container opening is described that includes a multi-layer laminate configured to isolate a residual ring of material that remains on a container land area upon seal removal.

The invention comprises an ovenable packaging structure having an integral one-way valve. The laminate structure comprises an outer layer having a cut line which defines a flap that is separable from the outer layer, wherein the outer layer is adhered to an inner layer having a cut line which is offset from the outer cut line and defines a portion that is separable from the inner layer along the inner cut line and defines an opening into the packaging structure. The adhesive between the layers comprises, in an embodiment, a channel of pressure sensitive adhesive which surrounds both the outer cut line and the inner cut line, wherein the channel of pressure sensitive adhesive defines the perimeter of at least one adhesive-free valve chamber within said channel. The valve chamber comprises at least a portion of the outer cut line and the inner cut line.

A container can include a body having a volume defined therein for retaining a product. The body can include a top surface adapted to be sealed by a lid. The container further includes a channel defined in a portion of the body such that the channel is in fluid communication with the internal volume at a first end and sealed by a portion of the body at an oppositely disposed second end. The container further includes a top flange surrounding the top surface of the body and includes a portion that borders the channel, with removal line disposed in the container to define a removable portion. The removal line extends from a first edge to a second edge and through the channel such that the removable portion can be removed from the body along the removal line to expose the channel.

A closure member for a food container including a multilayer laminate having a first layer of material at least partly light-permeable, a second layer of plastic material, a third layer of repositionable adhesive material interposed between the first and the second layer, at least one inner weakening line obtained on the second layer and extending according to a predetermined geometry defining, in use, an access gap to the container, at least one outer weakening line, obtained on the second layer, proximal to the peripheral edge with respect to the inner weakening line at least at the hand gripping portion, wherein the second layer has a predetermined graphic pattern printed or realised on at least one of its faces.

The present disclosure relates to a transport closure (1) for use in a packaging container (10) for bulk solids. The transport closure includes a laminate of a first layer (2) and a second layer (3). The first layer (2) is delimited by a first layer peripheral edge (4) and the second layer (3) is delimited by a second layer peripheral edge (5). The second layer (3) comprises or consists of a weldable material and the first layer (2) has higher tear strength than the second layer (2). The first layer (3) is provided with a weakening line (6) defining a pull-tab (7) in the first layer (3) and having a first and a second base point (6a,6b). The base points (6a,6b) are arranged at a base end (7b) of the pull-tab (7), opposite to a gripping end (7a) of the pull-tab (7).

A tamper evident metal foil closure for a container which provides visual evidence of tampering in the form of damage to the metal foil (e.g. tearing) and evidence of temperature tampering of the metal foil when heat is used to remove and reseal the metal foil. Containers sealed with this novel metal foil closure make it more difficult to tamper with or remove the container contents and then return the container for a refund.

A sealing cover includes a tab-forming layer, an intermediate substrate layer, and a sealing layer. The tab-forming layer includes a surface layer, a first adhesive layer under the surface layer, a folded layer under the first adhesive layer, and a second adhesive layer under the first adhesive layer and the folded layer. The intermediate substrate layer is formed under the tab-forming layer. The sealing layer is formed under the intermediate substrate layer. The folded layer includes an upper portion and a lower portion branched from one end of the folded layer, forming an opening tab.

In an embodiment, a portion control container can have a body and a lid sealed to the body. The lid can have defined therein a spout-type opening. The spout-type opening can be defined by an initiation region having 100% cut-through the lid that transitions to a pattern of reduced strength having less than 100% penetration through the lid. The container can remain sealed until the lid is separate from the container along the seal to provide a dip-type opening or the lid material is torn at the initiation region and pattern of reduced strength to define a spout-type opening for squeeze dispensing of the product from the container.
