Abstract: A support device (1) comprises a first support structure (6) which is conformable to an object to be supported, and a second support structure (2) which has an activated state in which the second support structure substantially locks the first support structure into a conformed shape, and supports tensile loading on the support device, and an inactivated state in which the first support structure is able to conform to an object.

Abstract: A process for cutting or perforating a water-soluble or water-dispersible film or stack of films in the form of a web comprising a plurality of compartments by which each compartment is cut or perforated by applying a laser beam to the film or stack of films. The process for producing a water-soluble or water-dispersible container containing a composition comprises: a producing a base web water-soluble or water-dispersible film containing a plurality of pockets; b. filling each pocket with a composition; c. sealing the pockets with a top web water-soluble or water-dispersible film to produce closed containers; and d. separating at least one container from the plurality of containers by cutting or perforating the combined web with a laser beam.
