Abstract: A process for pressurizing a container assembly includes engaging the outer container around a neck of the outer container at a location between a shoulder of the outer container and a mouth of the outer container with a neck clamp device. The neck clamp device is used to support the outer container as the outer container moves from one location to a different location. An at least partial seal is formed about the neck of the outer container by engaging the neck clamp device with an outer bell member of a crimper-pressurized fluid fill head.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a solid preform made from polyethylene material, wherein the preform comprises a neck region, side walls and a base region, and has an interior having inner walls and an exterior having outer walls; characterised in that at least 65% of the polyethylene material by weight of the total polyethylene material has a Z-average molecular weight (Mz) of between 300,000 g/mol and 6,000,000 g/mol, and a Mz/Mn value of greater than 28, where Mn is the number average molecular weight, and Mz/Mn is the Mz value divided by the Mn value.

Abstract: A decorative dry color laminate includes a dry color layer, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on one side of the dry color layer, and a carrier in releasable contact with the dry color layer on a side opposite from the pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA). In use, the adhesive layer adheres the dry color laminate to the surface under application of pressure, and the carrier is peeled away to expose the dry color layer. Methods for providing a substantially permanent color effect on an architectural surface comprise delivering such an article to the architectural surface.

Abstract: A bottle having a body capable of containing a fluid; a spout fluidly connected to the body; a collar having at least one attachment area, said collar capable of removably securing a cap; a skirt functionally connected to the collar; and a drip concentrator concentrically interposed between the spout and the collar; wherein the bottle is continuous.

Abstract: A multilayered flexible laminate comprising: a first lamina having a inlet channel; a second lamina having a outlet channel; the first and second laminas joined to one another about an unbonded valve region having open and closed orientations; wherein the first and outlet channels are in gaseous communication when the valve region is in the open orientation.

Abstract: Containers useful in bottle-in-box applications among others, including a blow molded portion and a non-blow molded portion integrally connected, wherein the blow molded portion includes: (i) at least one layer of polypropylene thermoplastic material having a flexural modulus (1% secant) of from about 140,000 psi to about 220,000 psi under ASTM D790; (ii) a containing volume of at least two liters suitable for containing a liquid or semi-liquid composition; and (iii) a containing volume to polypropylene thermoplastic material mass ratio of greater than 100 mL/gram; wherein the non-blow molded portion further includes an attachment means for connecting a dispenser.

Abstract: Fabric care products having a package useful for storing, dispensing, and/or measuring flowable compositions, including at least one inner container; an outer container at least partially encompassing the inner container; a dispensing means operatively attached to the inner container; and a vessel.

Abstract: A bottle comprising a body capable of containing a fluid; a spout fluidly connected to the body; a collar comprising at least one attachment area, said collar capable of removably securing a cap; a skirt functionally connected to the collar; and a drip concentrator concentrically interposed between the spout and the collar; wherein the bottle is continuous. In one embodiment, the skirt visually engages with the body.

Abstract: A decorative dry paint wall film includes a layer of dry paint, a pressure-sensitive adhesive layer on one side of the dry paint layer, and a release liner in releasable contact with the dry paint layer on a side opposite from the pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA). The release liner has a matte release coat layer that contacts the dry paint layer. The release liner is released from the dry paint layer after the PSA side is attached to a wall. The matte release coat transfers a matte finish to the dry paint layer when the release liner is removed. The wall film includes a barrier layer to protect against significant discoloration of the color in the dry paint layer caused by migration of azo-type pigments from a painted wall surface. The barrier layer in one embodiment comprises a dry emulsion containing ethylene-vinyl alcohol and a dispersed polymeric material which in one embodiment comprises a urethane material.

Abstract: A packaging system useful for roast and ground coffee, having a container with a bottom, a top, and a body enclosing a perimeter between the bottom and the top. A flexible closure is removably attached and sealed to the protuberance so that the closure seals the interior volume of the container.

Abstract: A multilayered flexible laminate comprising: a first lamina having a inlet channel; a second lamina having a outlet channel; the first and second laminas joined to one another about an unbonded valve region having open and closed orientations; wherein the first and outlet channels are in gaseous communication when the valve region is in the open orientation.

Abstract: A multilayered flexible laminate is disclosed that includes a first lamina having a inlet channel; a second lamina having a outlet channel; the first and second laminas joined to one another about an unbonded valve region having open and closed orientations; wherein the inlet channel and the outlet channels are in gaseous communication when the valve region is in the open orientation.

Abstract: A fresh packaging system for roast and ground coffee having a top load capacity of at least about 16 pounds (7.3 Kg) comprising a container with a closed bottom, an open top, and a body enclosing a perimeter between the bottom and the top. A protuberance is continuously disposed around the perimeter of the body proximate to the top and forms a ridge external to the body. A flexible closure is removeably attached and sealed to the protuberance so that the closure seals the interior volume of the container. The container bottom and container body are constructed from a material having a tensile modulus number ranging from at least about 35,000 to at least about 650,000 pounds per square inch (at least about 2,381 to at least about 44,230 atm).
