  • Publication number: 20050224383
    Abstract: Packaging includes a combination of a container, a pouch and a substantially flat article enclosed by the pouch. The pouch has a top, bottom opposite the top and a pouch height Hp between the top and the bottom. The container includes: a base having a substantially flat bottom, a cover, an inner container height Hc between the bottom of the base and an underside of the cover. The pouch bottom is adhered to the bottom of the base by an anti-slip agent. The inner container height Hc and a pouch height Hp are such that the pouch is pressed by the cover against the base. The anti-slip agent is configured so that when exercising a force on the pouch in a direction substantially perpendicular to the bottom of the base, the pouch can be removed and the surfaces that were adhered to each other by the anti-slip agent are not sticky after the removal of the pouch so that when the pouch is laid again onto the bottom of the base of the container, there is no longer an adherent force between the pouch and the container.

  • Patent number: 5381913
    Abstract: A cap with an induction seal closure for sealing the pouring opening of a container, the induction seal closure comprising a polymer sealing layer (27) capable of being heat-sealed to the top surface of the pouring opening of the container, an aluminum foil (22) for heat-sealing said sealing layer by inductive heating of the aluminum, a first releasing layer (25) between said aluminum foil and said sealing layer and a second releasing layer (21) between said aluminum foil and the top wall of said cap, the releasing power of said second releasing layer (21) being greater than that of said first one (25) so that upon removal of the cap from a sealed container the aluminum foil (22) remains adherant to the sealed container instead of to the cap while yet being easily peelable from the container as a consequence of the presence of said first releasing layer (25).
