In one aspect, new dispenser components for use with portable fluid dispensing apparatus are provided. The present systems can by used to administer to a user water and other fluids optionally together with one or more other ingestibles such as flavoring, or a health supplement. In another aspect, new rotor or disk units that may comprise one or more pods or packets that contain ingestible material(s). In a further aspect, one or more of such pods or packets that may comprise one or more ingestible materials.

A multi-compartment package for dispensing plural items is disclosed. The package includes plural individual sealed compartment units which are releasably secured to each other. Each compartment unit includes a flanged base from which a chamber depends. The chamber holds an item to be dispensed and is surrounded by a flange. A closure member, in the form of a respective portion of a frangible cover sheet, is adhesively secured to the flange of each compartment unit. Each closure member includes plural tamper-evident cuts therein located adjacent respective corners of the closure member to initiate a tear upon attempted removal of the closure member from the flange of its associated compartment unit.

The present subject matter relates to a label lid for sealing an opening in a packaging container. The label comprises a facestock layer, a removable adhesive layer, a heat-seal layer, and an optional release coating, wherein the removable adhesive layer does not include a release liner. The removable adhesive layer can be coated on the heat-seal layer or the facestock layer. Optionally, a release coating can be applied to the heat-seal layer or the facestock layer. The composition of the layers used in specific arrangements provides unique performance characteristics for the label for improved sealing, reclosure, and matrix stripping properties.

Composite materials, and sealing foils prepared with such composite materials for sealing a container, where the composite materials include an inner layer configured to face the container during sealing, the inner layer being single- or multi-layer, and including a self-contained and closed weakening line; an outer layer that may be single- or multi-layer, and that is configured to be peeled from the inner layer; where an area of the inner layer delimited by the closed weakening line remains attached to the outer layer when the outer layer is peeled from the inner layer, thereby creating a hole in the inner layer; the outermost of the inner layers is in contact with the outer layer, and includes a semicrystalline ethylene-propylene copolymer that is substantially free of dienes; and the innermost of the outer layers is a barrier layer or a lacquer.

The present disclosure relates to a paperboard sealing disc for use in a packaging container, comprising a peripheral edge portion surrounding a tear-open part having a push-tab and a pull-away part. The tear-open part is delimited from the peripheral edge portion by a first cutting line in the first side and by a second cutting line in the second side. Said first cutting line being provided at a distance d1 from said sealing disc outer edge, and said second cutting line being provided at a distance d2 from said sealing disc outer edge. The push-tab is at least partly delimited from the pull-away part by a folding line. At the push-tab d1>d2 and at the pull-away part d4>d3. Furthermore, d1 at said push-tab is substantially the same as d4 at said pull-away part and d2 at said push-tab is substantially the same as d3 at said pull-away part.

Composite materials, and sealing foils prepared with such composite materials for sealing a container, where the composite materials include an inner layer configured to face the container during sealing, the inner layer being single- or multi-layer, and including a self-contained and closed weakening line; an outer layer that may be single- or multi-layer, and that is configured to be peeled from the inner layer; where an area of the inner layer delimited by the closed weakening line remains attached to the outer layer when the outer layer is peeled from the inner layer, thereby creating a hole in the inner layer; the outermost of the inner layers is in contact with the outer layer, and includes a semicrystalline ethylene-propylene copolymer that is substantially free of dienes; and the innermost of the outer layers is a barrier layer or a lacquer.

A tamper evident tabbed sealing member for sealing to a rim surrounding a container opening is described that includes a multi-layer laminate configured to isolate a residual ring of material that remains on a container land area upon seal removal.

The present invention relates to a resealable membrane lid for a container comprising a peelable portion and a removable portion. When the resealable peelable portion is peeled back, the seal onto the container is not disturbed. When the removable portion is removed from the container, the container contents may be accessed. The peelable portion may be resealed onto the container at any point in the process.

The invention comprises an ovenable packaging structure having an integral one-way valve. The laminate structure comprises an outer layer having a cut line which defines a flap that is separable from the outer layer, wherein the outer layer is adhered to an inner layer having a cut line which is offset from the outer cut line and defines a portion that is separable from the inner layer along the inner cut line and defines an opening into the packaging structure. The adhesive between the layers comprises, in an embodiment, a channel of pressure sensitive adhesive which surrounds both the outer cut line and the inner cut line, wherein the channel of pressure sensitive adhesive defines the perimeter of at least one adhesive-free valve chamber within said channel. The valve chamber comprises at least a portion of the outer cut line and the inner cut line.

A package includes a support and a closing film. The support has a supporting portion that receives a product, a perimetral edge surrounding the supporting portion, a gripping portion extending away from the opposite side of the supporting portion, a removable portion extending from the supporting portion. The closing film engages a portion of the perimetral edge and, with the support, defines a housing compartment for the product. The closing film comprises a first film portion engaged with the removable portion and a second film portion engaged with the gripping portion. When the package is opened, the removable portion at least partly separates from the support together with the first film portion and the second film portion remains engaged with the gripping portion of the support.
