Abstract: A dual dispense container, for example, a collapsible dual dispense tube, is provided that has a dual dispense orifice whose shape generally corresponds to a cloverleaf. The cloverleaf-like shape of the dual dispense orifice renders the dual dispense container capable of simultaneously dispensing two products with the same or similar flow characteristics in the same or substantially the same volumes.

Abstract: A self adhesive tape which includes a substrate composed of a clear plastic sheet, reverse printed indicia on one side of the sheet, a flood coating of black or other colored ink overlying the printed indicia, and an adhesive coating with a mesh fabric reinforcement overlying the flood coating. The bottom surface of the sheet is not treated or coated, which permits its original gloss and sheen to be preserved, and so that the reverse printed indicia is visible therethrough as a positive image.

Abstract: Copolymers of ethylene and alpha olefins that have been formed by the polymerization reaction in the presence of a single site catalyst, such as a metallocene, are used to form collapsible dispensing containers and/or components thereof. Blends of the copolymers with propylene polymers are disclosed and used to form a body wall layer or a collapsible dispensing container head having good bond strength with a body wall layer formed of an ethylene polymer. Methods for improving the adhesion between collapsible dispensing container components, such as between body wall layer formed of an ethylene polymer and another body wall layer formed of a propylene polymer, or between a body wall layer formed of an ethylene polymer and a collapsible dispensing container head formed of a propylene polymer, are also disclosed.

Abstract: A dual dispense container is comprised of an inner container and an outer container, the outer container neck base having a groove, a latch and an undersurface, and the inner container neck having a bead engaged in the groove, and ribs below the bead which abut the undersurface and cause the latch of the outer container to lock the bead in the groove and thereby lock the inner container within the outer container. A method of locking an inner container within an outer container of a dual dispense container comprises abutting ribs of the inner container against the undersurface of a latch at the base of the neck of the outer container, to latch and lock a bead of the inner container neck in a groove in the base of the outer container neck.

Abstract: A sleeve label is fabricated from a sheet of polymeric material which is folded upon itself along at least three longitudinal fold lines, with the resulting four overlying layers then being joined together along a longitudinal seal line. The two outermost layers are longitudinally slit along the third fold line. The resulting structure forms a closed tube formed by the first two overlying layers, and two overlying separate flaps formed by the two outermost layers. By adding additional fold lines and additional slits, additional separate flaps can be formed to result in a structure in the nature of a multi-paged booklet.
