Re-closable mobile packages are disclosed. An example can end includes a center panel having a pour opening, a first wall extending from the center panel around a perimeter of the pour opening, and a cover rotatably coupled to the center panel. The cover is rotatable relative to the pour opening between a first position and a second position. The cover interlocks with the first wall when the cover is in the first position to prevent access to the pour opening. The cover exposes the pour opening when cover is in the second position.

The invention comprises a peelable membrane for resealably closing a metal end comprising an outer layer, a tacky layer, and a heat seal layer. The heat seal layer is permanently sealed to the metal end to cover at least one opening in the metal end. The tacky layer causes the peelable membrane to be resealable onto the metal end.

A printing apparatus configured to print an image on a can body includes: a blanket transfer device configured to transfer ink on a plurality of printing plates to a blanket; and a can body transfer device configured to transfer the ink having been transferred on the blanket to the can body to print the image on the can body. The plurality of printing plates include a first printing plate and a second printing plate to print a specified image of the image. The first printing plate is configured to print a border image which is a border part of the specified image, and the second printing plate is configured to print a vicinity of the border image in the specified image.

A method of manufacturing a can body includes: molding a preform of a can including: molding a dome part on a bottom of a bottomed cylindrical body, the dome part being concave into the bottomed cylindrical body; and molding as annular leg part projecting in a direction opposite to a direction in which the dome part is concave, the leg part including an inner peripheral section which is inclined from a ground point of the leg part toward a can axis in a vertical cross-sectional view taken along the can axis; painting at least one of an inner surface and an outer surface of the preform of the can; and bottom reforming to mold a molded can including a curved end around the dome part by pressing an inner surface of the dome part of the preform of the can painted by the painting.

A bottle system includes a first housing having a first sealable opening and a distal end, between which a second sealable opening is located, and a first storage chamber being defined between the first and second sealable openings of the first housing. The bottle also includes a second housing having a second storage chamber defined between a third sealable opening and a base, with the first housing and the second housing adapted to be rotatably coupled relative to each other in an end-to-end configuration between at least a first state, in which the first and second storage chambers are separated from each other, and a second state, in which the first and second storage chambers are coterminous. The bottle also includes a cutter such that, in use, the cutter pierces seals of the second and third sealable openings as the first and the second housings are rotatably actuated.

An environmentally friendly can for containing a product includes a sealed container that contains the product and includes a polyester resin and a release mechanism to open the container and access the product. The polyester resin may be a furan resin selected from poly (ethylene 2, 5-furan dicarboxylate) (PEF), poly (butylene 2, 5-furan dicarboxylate) (PBF), poly (trim ethylene furan dicarboxylate) (PTF), poly (propylene 2, 5-furandicarboxylate) (PPF), and poly (neopentyl 2, 5-furandicarboxylate) (PNF); and/or a biodegradable polyester resin such as polyglycolic acid (PGA). The can may further include a generally cylindrical shell molded to have a sealed bottom and a straight wall that includes the resin; and a cap to seal the shell, the cap having the release mechanism and a rim that includes the resin; wherein the rim of the cap is bonded to the wall of the shell to releasably seal the product inside the can.

A pop top lid enables opening and closing of a top opening in a cylindrical fluid container such as a beverage can. an enclosing a top opening in a cylindrical fluid container. A pocketed tang of a stay-on tab assembly pivots about a central rivet on an end shell of the pop top lid. During lifting and rotation of the stay-on tab assembly, an aperture creation point begins to shear a scored line to remove a tear panel from an end shell of the beverage can. directing the tear panel between a top cover and a bottom plate of the pocketed tang. A flange of the bottom plate assists in removal of the tear panel by being directed into a panel opening left by the tear panel directing the tear panel into the tear panel capturing pocket when the stay-on-tab assembly is rotated in a first direction of rotation.

A container made of metal and open on an upper face side includes a bottom portion and a body portion. In one example, the body portion of the container is formed into a shape in which, given 100% as a total height of the container, a line connecting an outer peripheral face at a height of 10% to an outer peripheral face at a height of 90% from a lowermost portion spreads outward at an angle of from 2° to 15°. When two of such a container are stacked, a projecting portion of the container above projecting upward has a height of 20 mm or less from an upper end of a container below.

A beverage can shield assembly for protecting a consumer from potential contaminants on a beverage can includes a beverage can that has a drinking flap and a tab that is movably integrated into the beverage can for opening the drinking flap. A shield is bonded to the beverage can and the shield surrounds the drinking flap to facilitate a beverage to be consumed. The shield is comprised of a sterilized material to inhibit contact transmission of bacteria or viruses between a consumer and the beverage can when the consumer drinks from the beverage can. A protective sheet is removably bonded to the shield for preserving sterility of the shield. The protective sheet is peelable from the shield to facilitate the consumer to drink the beverage in the beverage can.

Disclosed is a beverage container which includes a container body, which includes a container sidewall, a bottom section, and a top section. The container sidewall defines a first opening into the internal volume of the container body. The top section defines a second opening into the internal volume of the container body. The beverage container includes a plug, which includes a central body portion and a flange extending radially from a first end of the central body portion. The plug is configured to seal the first opening with the central body portion positioned within the first opening and the flange positioned within the internal volume against an internal surface of the container sidewall around the first opening. The beverage container includes a sealing device coupled with the top section of the container body and configured to seal the second opening to enclose the internal volume of the container body.
