Abstract: A pull-tab sealing member for a container is provided having a pressure sensitive adhesive for sealing to the container. The sealing members herein include a foam layer and a non-foam polymer layer between the foam layer and a tab.

Abstract: Various enhancements of tabbed seals are provided herein with enhanced grasping functionality. Such enhancements include an oversized tab structure for increasing the overall surface area of the tab. In some forms, the tab has been configured such that the overall gripping tab is larger, but a portion thereof is temporarily adhered to the lower laminate, such as during seal and/or cap installation. Instead, the gripping tab includes a small free portion and then a second, temporarily bonded portion that can either release or rupture, permitting the overall grippable portion of the tab to be large.

Abstract: Various enhancements of tabbed seals are provided herein with enhanced grasping functionality. Such enhancements include an anti-slip coating, a polymer adhesive layer, embossing, increasing the thickness of the tab, and/or increasing the overall surface area of the tab.

Abstract: Various systems are provided herein for sealing and dispensing the contents of containers. The systems can include openings that may be movable relative to one another between sealed positions and dispensing positions.

Abstract: Various forms of tabbed sealing members are described along with the laminates from which the sealing members are formed. In some forms, the tabbed sealing members may be considered inverted tabbed sealing members for induction sealing as the induction heating layer is provided in the upper laminate instead of the lower laminate. In this regard, the induction heating layer is positioned further from the heat seal, contrary to conventional tabbed sealing members.

Abstract: A tamper evident tabbed sealing member for sealing to a rim surrounding a container opening is described that includes a multi-layer laminate configured to isolate a residual ring of material that remains on a container land area upon seal removal.

Abstract: A sealing member or closure for a container is provided having a protected security component and a removal tab. The sealing member is provided in the form of a one-piece or a two-piece construction and has a tab and an optical security component configured to be protected such that the optical clarity of the security component is maintained after induction sealing.

Abstract: A pull-tab sealing member for a container containing an upper laminate forming a pull-tab bonded to a lower laminate capable of being heat sealed to a container's mouth or opening. The upper laminate defines the pull tab wholly within a perimeter or circumference of the seal. The sealing member further includes a sub tab layer or member under the gripping tab for concentric structural support.
