Thereafter, a resealable label (45) is applied over both a portion of the insert and a portion of the outer surface of the inner liner. The inner surface of the resealable label has a sealing area (46) and a non-sealing area (47) and only the non-sealing area is disposed on the insert. A bundle of consumer goods is formed by wrapping the consumer goods with the inner liner. A container (10) is formed around the bundle of consumer goods so that the insert is positioned between the inner liner and the container. Containers formed using such methods are also disclosed.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 17, 2016Publication date: October 25, 2018Inventors: Arjen Hamilcar Slooff, Timothee Cailleaux

Publication number: 20180305114Abstract: The present invention relates to a capsule for a substantially cylindrical vessel with a shell surface, an upper open end, and a lower closed end, wherein the shell surface, at least in the area of the open end, is of substantially cylindrical design. In order to protect substantially cylindrical vessels against breakage in cost-effective manner, it is suggested in the scope of the invention that the shell surface above the closed end comprises at least one means for forming a free space, which is a crimp, directed at least partially inwards on the shell surface. Here, the capsule is configured in such a way, that it can be fitted onto the bottom-side end of the substantially cylindrical vessel. The tolerance limits of the substantially cylindrical vessel are thereby compensated.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 28, 2016Publication date: October 25, 2018Applicant: MORLO Gesellschaft mit beschraenkter HaftungInventors: Michael UNGER, Wolfgang UNGER, Werner NIKOLAI
