Abstract: A lid for closing containers includes an at least two-layered composite assembly. A layer facing the container seals against a container edge and forms an opening by layer separation, for removing contents. The layers have a continuous construction without weakening lines. The layer facing the container is made mainly of a plastic having an intrinsic tearing resistance being lower in the region of the opening than its adhesion to the layer facing away from the container in a remaining region and an adhesion to the container edge being greater at least in the region of an opening aid than to the other layer. The plastic adheres so strongly to the outer layer in the region of the opening that a region corresponding to the opening is torn out upon opening and a remaining layer of the lid facing the container continues to adhere to the container edge by sealing action.

Abstract: A composite material (1) includes a carrier layer (2) and a sealing layer (3), the carrier layer being detachably connected to the sealing layer. According to the invention, a zone (5) of separation is formed between the carrier layer and the sealing layer, whereby at least the surface region (2?) of the carrier layer (2) that borders the sealing layer (3) includes non-polar substances and at least the surface region (3?) of the sealing layer (3) that borders the carrier layer (2) includes polar substances or at least the surface region (2?) of the carrier layer (2) that borders the sealing layer (3) includes polar substances and at least the surface region (3?) of the sealing layer (3) that borders the carrier layer (2) includes non-polar substances.

Abstract: A counterfeit-proof metal foil is textured in at least a given partial area of its surface, this partial area having a radiation refraction value which is different compared to the remaining surface area. The metal foil is suitable as a packaging material, among others for medications. The manufacturer or the consumer can check based on the given surface structure which is intended as an identification sign whether he has acquired an uncounterfeited product. If texturing takes place on most of the surface of the metal foil, this is identical to the appearance of a printed picture so that the metal foil as claimed in the invention is likewise used as a decorative foil or an advertizing medium.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing a carrier material with at least one hidden identification mark which is attached in at least one surface region of the carrier material and which is then covered. The invention furthermore relates to articles containing this carrier material and its use for analysis of the identification mark(s). By the process as claimed in the invention a carrier material with hidden identification marks is made available, the use of which is given in a wide range, especially when the original state of goods is to be established. For the consumer itself the identification mark is not necessarily visible so that he is not unnecessarily upset, but rather is confronted with a conventional decoration, specifically an embossing pattern. If necessary, such as for example in customs controls, the identification mark however can be easily exposed by depression so that analysis of the packaged product with respect to originality can take place.

Abstract: A thermally-sealable multilayer film, for packages which may be resealed after opening, includes an outer layer and a support layer, with a thermally-sealable layer on the side facing the packaged material. A self-adhesive layer made from pressure sensitive adhesive is provided between the support layer and the outer layer. The support layer has weakening lines, which define an opening for the removal of packaged material. For resealing a container, by using the thermally-sealable multilayer film, the user may simply open the defined opening for removal of the contents of the container, by application of an opening force and then reseal the container, by pressing the opened outer layer on to the self-adhesive layer. The above process may be repeated several times, until all the contents of the container are used, whereby the above are protected from possible contamination.
