A cap and container assembly includes a container having a base and a side wall extending upward from the base. The base and the side wall define an interior, and the side wall defines an opening leading to the interior. A cap moves with respect to the container between an opened position in which the opening is exposed, and a closed position in which the cap covers the opening. A tab projects outward from the cap and has a bottom surface. A spacer projects from the container side wall at a location beneath the tab when the assembly is in the closed position. The spacer bends inward towards the container in response to application of a sufficient force, to move from a locked position that blocks the bottom surface of the tab, to an unlocked position to expose at least a portion of the bottom surface of the tab.

A container lid is provided herein having structurally reinforcing ribs therein. The ribs increase the strength of the lid across a central region thereof. Specifically, the lid can have an outer perimeter and the ribs can be spaced inwardly from the outer perimeter. The inwardly spaced ribs can provide a distinct look for consumer differentiation. Additionally, the ribs can be arcuate so that they generally follow a curvature of the outer perimeter of the lid. As such, a label region within the lid central region is preserved, while the lid is still strengthened by the ribs.

A food container and its method of construction are disclosed herein. In an embodiment, the food container includes a body and a lid assembly. The body has an interior space. The lid assembly lid assembly includes at least one slide part and a rotating part. The at least one slide part is configured to translate linearly when the rotating part is rotated by a user to cause the interior space to be sealed or unsealed.

An injection-molded preform is disclosed for production of a plastic container by a blow-molding method with an elongated, tube-like body, which is closed on its one longitudinal end and has a neck section that is provided with a pour opening on its other longitudinal end, which neck section includes an injection molded connection to an injection molded closure part, wherein the closure part includes: a flip-top closure and an annular section with an inner wall, which inner wall rests directly on an outer surface of the neck section and completely encloses an annular area of the outer surface of the neck section.

The invention is directed toward a cake tray that has a number of hand holding or gripping recesses for conveniently carrying the cake tray or base. The cake tray further include finger gripping recesses formed by upwardly projecting pads and protrusion.

An anti-splash sip-through lid for a beverage container, such as, for example, but not limited thereto, a disposable lid for a disposable drinking cup, or a re-usable lid for a re-usable drinking cup, for hot and/or cold drinks, e.g. coffee, tea, soda, beer, etc. In examples, the lid includes an outer side, an inner side and a rim; a drinking aperture (7) formed in the lid; and a flow deflector arrangement (9) adjacent to the drinking aperture, wherein the lid or parts thereof are formed from sheet material. In other examples, the lid includes an outer side, an inner side and a rim; a drinking aperture formed in the lid; and a flow deflector arrangement adjacent to the drinking aperture, wherein the lid comprises a first flap (27) formed in the lid and initially blocking the drinking aperture.

A container configured to hold one or more units of a product is provided. The container may comprise a lid and a base. The lid and/or the base may be constructed from a pulp derived from a plant material. For example, the pulp derived from the plant material may be a wood pulp material. A related method is also provided.

A holder for a squeeze pouch containing food or beverages, and for a drink box containing beverages, is described. The holder may have a one-piece construction, or the holder may include both a housing and a detachable top wall or lid. The top wall or lid of the holder includes a slot adapted to receive and secure the spout of a squeeze pouch. The housing protects the squeeze pouch or drink box from pressure that could cause food or beverages to exit the spout of the squeeze pouch. A cover may be used in conjunction with the holder.

A dish with a lid is provided, including a dish body and a lid body, wherein the lid body is disposed on the dish body and snap-fitted with it; the dish body and the lid body form a storage cavity there-between; and the dish body has average heights of 10 to 60 mm; an open edge of the dish body is provided with an inclined folded edge which extends upward; the outer edge of the inclined folded edge is provided with a dish body edge engagement portion; an open edge of the lid body is provided with a horizontal folded edge which horizontally extends outward; the outer edge of the horizontal folded edge is provided with a lid body edge engagement portion matched with the dish body edge engagement portion; and the dish body edge engagement portion is embedded in the lid body edge engagement portion.

An apparatus for dispensing a single container for containing foodstuffs includes a housing, a lift subassembly, and a transfer subassembly. The housing at least partially defines an inner area. The lift subassembly is coupled to the housing and disposed at least partially within the inner area. The lift subassembly includes a nest configured to support a plurality of containers disposed in a stack and translate with respect to the housing in a first direction and a second direction opposite the first direction. The transfer subassembly is coupled to the housing and disposed at least partially within the inner area. The transfer subassembly includes a end effector. The end effector is configured to operatively engage a first container of the plurality of containers to remove the first container from the stack and move the first container outside of the inner area.
