Bag-in-container with a coating layer The invention is in the field of containers for foods and drinks. There is provided a method for applying a coating layer (10, 14, 2, 4) on a preform (1, 2, 7) for a bag-in-container using plasma deposition. There is also provided a preform (1, 2, 7) for a bag-in-container, comprising an inner preform (8) and an outer preform (9) with facing surfaces, wherein at least one of the facing surfaces comprises a coating layer (10, 14, 2, 4) that is applied using plasma deposition.

A canister apparatus configured to protect and seal a range of jars and perishable items therein from light, dehydration, loss of volatiles, and or rapid change in temperature. The canister apparatus comprising a canister lid, a canister base and a cup fit within the canister base. The canister lid may comprise a gasket and a boss that are sized to accommodate an airtight seal of a jar upon insertion substantially within the canister base. The cup is configured to secure a jar upon insertion substantially within the canister base. The canister apparatus may include a jar and a cover configured to couple to the jar.

A package and a method of forming the package, the package including a primary package; an inner package provided around the primary package; an outer package provided around the inner package and the primary package, such that an air gap is formed between the inner package and the outer package, the outer package including two bodies that are configured to surround opposite sides of the inner package, respectively; and a tape configured to seal the two bodies of the outer package together.

Provided are a wrapping material and package that are for commercial tobacco products, that are capable of tightly sealing commercial tobacco products, and that are environmentally friendlier than conventional materials and packages because of using less amount of resin materials. This sheet-shaped wrapping material is for forming a package that is for commercial tobacco products and that wraps the commercial tobacco products in a tightly-sealed internal containing portion. The wrapping material comprises: a paper base layer containing a fibrous cellulose material; an aluminum-containing layer that is layered on top of the paper base layer; and a heat seal layer that is formed as an outer layer on at least one side of the wrapping material, and that is a coating of a heat-sealing agent that heat-seals edges of the wrapping material together. The thickness of the heat seal layer is 0.5-5 μm.

A container is disclosed that has a base and a lid that is rotatable about a hinge from a closed configuration to an open configuration. The lid may be secured to the base with a latch assembly. A latch assembly may have a locked position and an unlocked position, where the latch assembly includes: a latch body pivotally connected to the lid, a latch button slidably connected with the latch body, the latch button having a latch button-locking member, a latch-locking arm pivotally connected to the latch body, and a latch-locking arm biasing member that exerts a rotational force on the latch-locking arm. When the latch assembly is moved to the locked position, the latch-locking arm may engage the base and rotate against the rotational force from the latch-locking arm causing the latch button to move against the linear force until the latch button-locking member engages the arm-locking member.

Provided is a hard container capable of appropriately discharging or spraying content. The present invention provides a resin-made hard container for use with a suction device attached thereto that is configured to discharge or spray suctioned content. The hard container is provided with a container body having an outer shell and an inner bag. The container body is configured such that the inner bag contracts as the content is reduced. An innermost layer of the outer shell comprises an EVOH layer.

Method for packaging a particulate material, paste or gel, said method involving the steps of: (i) providing a rigid package, having a bottom, a top, and a vertical wall, said rigid package being opened at the top and containing an adhering layer on at least part of the inside bottom or inside vertical wall, (ii) filling a flexible package with particulate material, paste or gel, (iii) contacting the filled flexible package with the adhering layer, thereby adhering the flexible package to the rigid package, (iv) closing the rigid package.
