A blister and package system made of a blister card and an outer package with unique interacting locking mechanisms. The blister card or strip is inserted into the outer package or sleeve and locks immediately without having to further process the outer package or the blister card or strip. The user is able to expose the blisters from the outer package by disengaging the lock. The blister card or strip includes a formable, pliable sheet material, into which one or more individual cavities or blisters are formed. The separated cavities are loaded with product and sealed with one or more layers of puncturable or tearable sheet material, such as aluminum foil. The blister card or strip contains a plastic rivet assembly that forms an interference mechanism. The rivet is trapped by an internally formed panel and stopped by a catch flap included in the outer package.

A flexible thermoformed dispensing package for a flowable material includes an integrally formed dispensing tube extending from the container portion having an internal extension spaced apart from the side walls defining a recessed chamber defined by a pair of integral thermoformed walls extending from the bottom surface of the container chamber and terminating proximate the base when the package is in a vertical position to facilitate sipping of a beverage from the container portion; alternatively, a straw is placed in the dispensing tube to reach the base of the package. In another embodiment, at least one integrally formed internal dividing wall extends from the sealed end of the dispensing tube and intersects an interior wall to define separate dispensing chambers, where the sealed ends of each of the dispensing chambers can be independently opened along a weakened transverse parting line and separated into separate dispensing channels along a longitudinal parting line.

A package has a first side coupled to a second side to form a space for storing material therebetween, the space having a re-sealable proximal end and a distal end. The first side has a plurality of layers, the plurality of layers selected from the group consisting of selected from the group consisting of OPP (oriented polypropylene film), KRAFT paper, VMPET (vacuum metallized polyester film), PE (polyethylene plastic), and PET (polyethylene terephthalate). The re-sealable proximal end has a tear strip and a zipper engagement, the zipper engagement distal of the tear strip. The tear strip is configured to be torn off to expose the zipper engagement. The zipper engagement is re-sealable.

Single and dual packaging for fill needles and safety needles are described herein. Such packaging can include hard packaging or blister packs. Such packaging can include a premature activation prevention element disposed on an inner sidewall of a compartment of the packaging to nest within a recess of a tether of a safety needle device to prevent accidental activation of the safety needle device prior to use by the user.

A push-through cover foil, including at least one material layer with material weakenings introduced into it in a regular pattern, through which locally a material cohesion of at least one material of the cover foil is broken, where the material weakenings proceed in the thickness direction of the cover foil without completely penetrating through the cover foil, where the material weakenings exhibit a linear course orthogonally to the thickness direction, where the cover foil exhibits a plurality of parallel rows of material weakenings, where each row exhibits a plurality of material weakenings parallel to one another and arranged with a weakening spacing from one another, where the parallel rows of material weakenings are arranged with a row spacing from one another such that neither the material weakenings of the individual rows among themselves nor the material weakenings of adjacent rows intersect one another.

A seal for use with a container for storing and dispensing consumer products is described. The seal includes a cover layer having pre-formed lines of separation defining one or more releasable portions, an adhesive layer on the cover layer, and one or more patches on the adhesive layer. Each patch is associated with a respective one of the releasable portions 6 and consists of a hot melt polymer. The hot melt polymer can be applied to the adhesive layer using a suitable coating or spraying process.

A cushioned mailer includes a paper outer layer; a paper inner layer defining an inner cavity of the cushioned mailer, the inner cavity configured to receive contents therein, the inner cavity defining an opening at a top end of the cushioned mailer, the opening allowing access to the inner cavity; and an intermediate cushioning layer disposed between the paper outer layer and the paper inner layer, the intermediate cushioning layer comprising a plurality of cushioning inserts, each of the plurality of cushioning inserts being substantially uniform in size and shape.

A blister and package system made of a blister card and an outer package with unique interacting locking mechanisms. The blister card or strip is inserted into the outer package or sleeve and locks immediately without having to further process the outer package or the blister card or strip. The user is able to expose the blisters from the outer package by disengaging the lock. The blister card or strip includes a formable, pliable sheet material, into which one or more individual cavities or blisters are formed. The separated cavities are loaded with product and sealed with one or more layers of puncturable or tearable sheet material, such as aluminum foil. The blister card or strip contains a plastic rivet assembly that forms an interference mechanism. The rivet is trapped by an internally formed panel and stopped by a catch flap included in the outer package.

A method for producing a packaging, and in particular a film packaging having a bubble-like receiving cavity, in particular for producing a blister pack, comprising the following steps: overlapping at least two film elements, shaping at least one receiving cavity for receiving at least one object to be packaged between the overlapping film elements, and connecting the at least two film elements along a shared sealed edge region extending at least partially around the periphery of the receiving cavity, and in particular by way of at least one sealing weld joint, so as to seal the receiving cavity, wherein the two film elements are designed without any intermediate space on the sealing edge region projecting from the same, wherein opening means, which allow simplified access to the receiving cavity, are provided.
