The disclosed technology includes blister package assemblies that include a reusable blister pouch. The blister package assembly can have an enclosure housing having a first card and a second card. The second card can be opposed to a separably joinable to the first card. The blister package assembly can have a reusable blister pouch that can enclose an object and have a fastener that transition the reusable blister pouch between an open configuration and a closed configuration. The reusable blister pouch can be secured between the opposing first and second cards when the first and second cards are joined and a portion of the reusable blister pouch can displayed through an opening of the first card and/or the second card.

A pouch-type container including a pair of main-body sheets defining a storage space for containing a packaged substance; an opening at a first end of the main-body sheets in a z-direction; a spout at a second end, opposite the opening, of the main-body sheets in the z-direction; and an opening/closing part offset from the opening toward the second end in the z-direction to open and close the storage space. The pouch-type container further includes: a locking band fixed to the main-body sheets at a pair of fixed portions spaced apart in a width direction (x direction) to define an insertion space with the outer surface of one of the main-body sheets, the width direction being perpendicular to the y-direction wherein the main-body sheets face each other and the z-direction; and a lock part including at least one of the main-body sheets and configured to be locked with the locking band.

A method and apparatus for securing a zipper closure to polymeric film using minimal tension on the zipper closure includes providing first and second tension control loops, an eyemark detector, and a hole punch programmed to punch a hole in the zipper closure upon detection of the eyemark. The zipper closure and the film are supplied to a sealing station at the same speed, and the hole zipper closure is aligned with the eyemark on the film, to result in sealing the strip of zipper closure to the film resulting in minimal wrinkles to the resulting bag.

Recyclable pouches formed from rollstock and having a resealable closure that extends into both side edges of the pouch may be produced at high speeds on a single manufacturing line in which the pouches are formed, cut apart, filled, and then sealed if the film forming the pouch comprises a recyclable heat seal layer and a second recyclable layer having a melting temperature of at least 30° C. greater than the heat seal layer.

A system comprises a container, a water-activated heating element, and a towel. Water can be poured into the container to activate the water-activated heating element. The towel can be placed in the container with the activated water-activated heating element.

Sealable pouch assemblies are described. In some embodiments, the sealable pouch assembly includes a soft pouch formed from an elastomeric material. The pouch includes a plurality of spaced apart external protrusions located near a top end of the pouch. A semi-rigid external frame is attachable to the pouch by the protrusions. The frame has a stable closed state and a stable open state. A slider is configured to slide over the external frame with the external frame in the closed state to seal the pouch in a closed pouch state.

A child safety zipper includes a first zipper strip that is attached to an inside wall on one side of a plastic bag and a second zipper strip that is attached to an inside wall on the other side of the plastic bag and is coupled to the first zipper strip to seal the plastic bag.

Provided is a zipper tape including: a first member including a first base strip and a first engagement portion, the first engagement portion protruding from the first base strip; and a second member including a second base strip and a second engagement portion, the second engagement portion protruding from the second base strip and being engageable with the first engagement portion. A minimum gap between the first member and the second member is less than or equal to 1.1 mm, the minimum gap being based on when the first base strip and the second base strip are opposed to each other and the first engagement portion and the second engagement portion are engaged with each other.

A cover for sealing a container includes a body, re-sealable seal that can be unsealed and sealed, and an adhesive configured to adhere the body to a container. A method of closing a container includes providing a container and a cover, opening the container to provide an opening in an end of the container, adhering the cover to the end of the container, and sealing an end of the cover.
