International Classification:

B05D 506

US Classification:

427162, 42725537, 427535

Abstract:

A process for manufacturing a packaging film that is transparent to UV light and has a barrier action against water vapor and gases. The packaging film includes a substrate film of a polyolefin or polyamide with a ceramic coating layer of SiO , where x is a number from 1. 5 to 1. 8. The thickness of the ceramic coating layer is 10 nm to 2 m. The ceramic coating layer of SiO is deposited onto the polyolefin or polyamide substrate film using a vacuum thin film deposition process by depositing silicon oxide (SiO ) and elementary silicon (Si) simultaneously in vacuum.

US Classification:

428/035800, 428/035700

Abstract:

Packaging containers produced from a composite shaped by cold-forming, the term “packaging containers” including base or lid parts or base or lid parts shaped by cold-forming. The base or lid parts can be shaped by cold-forming, and a lid foil or base foil, respectively, can form the corresponding closure for the packaging container. In addition, both the base and the lid part can be shaped by cold-forming, the depressions formed in the base and lid parts advantageously lying opposite one another. Examples of these packaging containers are strip packing or blister packaging for pharmaceutical products. The composite from which the packaging container or parts thereof are produced has a layered structure, for example, comprising: (a) a plastics foil between 10 m and 250 m thick; (b) a bi- or monoaxially oriented foil selected from the group comprising polyvinylchloride foils, polyolefin foils, polyamide foils or polyester foils between 10 and 100 m thick, or a bi- or monoaxially oriented plastics foil composite comprising two foils selected from the group comprising polyvinylchloride foils, polyolefin foils, polyamide foils or polyester foils each between 10 and 50 m thick; (c) a metal foil between 20 and 200 m thick; and (a) a plastics foil between 10 and 250 m thick. The packaging containers are characterized by a high degree of flatness and/or rigidity.

International Classification:

B32B009/04

US Classification:

428/411100, 428/354000

Abstract:

This invention provides a medical device container comprising thermoplastic materials wherein said container is transmissive over substantially all of the surface area of said container to greater than 30% of the radiation in the range of 240 to 280 nm which impinges upon said container, and wherein said container is impervious to microorganisms. The preferred medical device container houses a contact lens.

US Classification:

428216

Abstract:

A packaging film which is transparent to UV light and has a barrier action against water vapor and gases features at least one substrate layer of a polyolefin or polyamide with a ceramic coating of SiO. sub. x, where x is a number from 1. 5 to 2 and the thickness of the ceramic layer is 10 nm to 2. mu. m. The packaging film is suitable for packaging basic and luxury foodstuffs that are sterilized in the packaged condition by radiation with UV light.

International Classification:

B65D 8304
B65D 8542

US Classification:

206532

Abstract:

Packaging for tablets, capsules and the like pharmaceutical products, that is child-proof and user friendly for senior citizen, is in the form of a blister pack (12), with at least one cup (24) which accommodates the tablet (20) closed off by a push-through foil lid (26), situated in an outer packaging (10) between a base part (14) and a cover part (16). The cover part (16) is covered over by a closure part (18) such that the lid foil (16) on the blister pack (12) faces the cover part (16) and the cover part (16) features an outlet opening (32) in line with the cup (24) in the blister pack (10). A cover strip (34) which is arranged between the base part (14) and the cover part (16) covers the outlet opening (32), can be removed on opening the closure part (18) thus exposing the outlet opening (32).

International Classification:

B65D 8304

US Classification:

206532

Abstract:

A pouch for a pharmaceutical, cosmetic, medical or similar product, with a structure having a top laminate and a bottom laminate. A pouch enclosure for the product is formed in one portion of the structure. The top laminate and the bottom laminate of the pouch enclosure portion are strongly adhered together in the periphery around the pouch enclosure. A flap portion is formed by the remainder of the structure with a portion of the involved region of the top laminate and a portion of the involved region of the bottom laminate are weakly adhered together and are easily pulled apart. Arrangement for separating the flap portion and the pouch enclosure is situated at the interface between the flap portion and the pouch enclosure portion. A notch or slot is located in the strongly adhered periphery of the pouch enclosure portion adjacent to the flap portion. The flap portion is larger than the pouch enclosure portion.
