A multi-layer product as a seal includes a cover layer having an adhesive layer and a backing layer with a release layer. The cover layer has a first part including one or more releasable portions, each having an associated patch. The backing layer has a pre-formed line of separation that extends across the seal from the first edge to the second edge and separates the backing layer into a first part and a second part. The second part of the backing layer includes at least one removable portion at an edge thereof. Each removable portion is defined by one or more pre-formed lines of separation. The cover layer has a second part including at least one flap portion each of which is substantially coincident with a respective one of the removable portions and defined by one or more pre-formed lines of separation in the second part of the cover layer.

A child resistant blister pack includes a blister layer which includes one or more blister cavities for receiving a product. A frangible retaining layer is attached to the blister layer over the blister cavities to retain the product within the blister cavities. A first backing layer is attached to the retaining layer on a side opposite the blister layer. The first backing layer has one or more lines of weakness aligned with the blister cavities. A second backing layer is attached to the first backing layer on a side opposite the retaining layer. The second backing layer has a plurality of removable sections. At least two removable sections are arranged over each line of weakness in the underlying first backing layer.

A packaged oral care implement (1000) and method of opening the same. In one embodiment, the package (2000) has a first panel (100) that includes a pre-weakened line (103) including at least two portions (103A, 103B) of differing non-zero shear strengths so that an easy as open location (106) is provided.

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 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.

A seal that forms part of a container for storing and dispensing consumer products is provided. The container can be used for the packaging of pills, tablets or capsules, or as a multi-cavity container for organizing and storing mixed medication for subsequent dispensation according to a predefined dosage regimen. The seal includes a cover film and a barrier film. The cover film has pre-formed lines of separation defining a removable portion per cavity. The barrier film is secured to the cover film by a layer of peelable adhesive and has pre-formed lines of separation defining the periphery of a barrier patch per removable portion. The cover film includes a tamper-indicating line of separation close to an edge of the cover film that is designed to tear if an attempt is made to peel the cover film away from the tray to expose one or more of the cavities.

A break-open single-dose sealed package and method for the production thereof; the sealed package has: a first sheet of semi-rigid plastic material; a second sheet of flexible plastic material set on top of and welded to the first sheet along an annular weld, so as to define a sealed pocket containing a dose of a product; and a pre-weakened area that develops transversely and is obtained in a central area of the first sheet; the pocket is divided into two distinct and separated chambers which are insulated from one another and each contain a corresponding component of the product; and the pocket is divided into the two chambers due to a central weld connecting the second sheet to the first sheet and is weak, so as to be broken by exerting pressure on at least one of the two chambers.
