In one aspect, an article includes a first sleeve formed from a first heat-shrinkable polymer sheet, the first heat-shrinkable polymer sheet having opposed first and second edges, wherein the first sleeve is formed with a first seam proximate the first edge. A portion of the first heat-shrinkable polymer sheet extends between the first sleeve and the second edge. A tag is bonded to the portion of the first heat-shrinkable polymer sheet proximate the second edge at a first overlap zone of the tag and the portion of the first heat-shrinkable polymer sheet. In another aspect, an article includes a heat-shrinkable polymer sheet and a tag bonded to the sheet. The heat-shrinkable polymer sheet has a central area and a plurality of slits disposed through the sheet, at least one of the plurality of slits oriented to partially surround the central area.

The invention relates to a security cover designed to surround a container, the cover comprising a sleeve (1) and a security strip (2) secured to an inside face of said sleeve and including at least one zone of weakness, the security strip being shaped so that when in service it surrounds the container below a finish of the container and in the immediate proximity of said finish, the security strip thus creating a compression zone compressing the container. The invention also relates to a container covered with such a cover.

A tamper evidence assembly is provided to seal contents within an interior of a container. The tamper evidence assembly includes a closure that threadably engages with a finish to seal contents within the container. A tamper evidence portion is coupled with the closure and the finish to provide a visual indication of loosening of the closure after installation on the finish by a manufacturer. One aspect of the tamper evidence portion comprises a tamper evidence strip that is adhered to the closure and to a bell of the container. The tamper evidence strip tears on both sides of the closure when the closure is twisted on the finish. Another aspect of the tamper evidence portion comprises a tamper evidence shrink-wrap that is collapsed around the closure and the finish of the container. The tamper evidence shrink-wrap includes a perforated strip that is configured to provide an easy-open feature for consumers.

A container apparatus including a container and a sleeve with pre-weakened areas to facilitate detaching the sleeve from the container. The container may include a body and a cap coupled thereto. The sleeve may include tamper evident features and may maintain the container in a closed and packaged state prior to purchase and use by a consumer. The sleeve may include different pre-weakened or perforated sections to permit the consumer to remove a first portion of the sleeve to permit the user to open the container and use the product therein without also removing a second portion of the sleeve which may contain product information. The sleeve may then include an additional pre-weakened or perforated section to permit the consumer to remove the second portion of the sleeve after the container is empty for sustainability purposes so that the container is more readily recyclable.

In some embodiments, a container includes a cover placed on the container. Shrinkable material that is placed on the container where the shrinkable material is shrunk around the container and the cover. The shrinkable material includes a tamper indicator. A cap is placed over the shrinkable material where the cap covers the shrinkable material such that the shrinkable material is not shown below the cap.

The present disclosure provides a bottle that includes a body having a neck at a top end. The neck of the bottle ends in an aperture for receiving a cork/plug. The bottle further includes a security closure that includes a security label having a first portion adhered to the cork and a second portion adhered onto the neck of the bottle. A cap at least partially covers the cork and the neck of the bottle. The cap partially covers the security label. The security label further includes: a bottom portion that extends beyond a bottom edge of the cap and carries a first readable code representing a unique identifier of the bottle; and a top portion that is covered by the cap and adhered to the cork, and carries a second readable code representing a unique identifier of the cork/plug.

A tool packaged for retail sale has a tool handle including a handle outer surface and an internal storage channel within the handle and having a channel opening facilitating selective access to the storage channel. A removable handle cap with a cap-exterior surface is installed over the channel opening in order to close off the storage channel. The handle cap is retained in place by a cap-restraining strip fabricated from a tear-resistant material. More specifically, a central portion of the cap-restraining strip is disposed over at least a portion of the cap-exterior surface, while portions of the cap-restraining strip on opposite sides of the central portion are disposed to extend along mutually opposite sides of the handle outer surface. A wrapper securely binds the portions of the cap-restraining strip located on opposite sides of the handle outer surface, thereby preventing removal of the handle cap without destruction of the wrapper.

This container includes a container main body, an inlet including a substrate, an IC chip and an antenna, and a covering film that covers a part of an outer surface of the container main body and has a brittle part. The brittle part is a part easily torn by an external force than parts other than the brittle part in the covering film. At least a part of the inlet is positioned between the covering film and the outer surface of the container main body and adhered to the covering film. The brittle part covers at least a part of the antenna.
