Generally, the packaging lids include a generally planar lid member having an upper surface and a lower surface, a plurality of dome expansions extending upwardly from the lid member, and a plurality of elongate projections extending downwardly from the lower surface of the lid member. Each dome expansion defines a downwardly facing recess and includes a base perimeter defining a base center, and the dome expansions are arranged in longitudinal rows and transverse columns. In an implementation, at least one projection is disposed transversely between a longitudinally adjacent pair of dome expansions and at least one projection is disposed longitudinally between a transversely adjacent pair of dome expansions.
Low density expanded and extruded thermoplastic polymer foams are obtained using an environmentally benign non-VOC and non-HAP methyl formate as a blowing agent. The blowing agent can be a blend further including at least one co-blowing agent, preferably an environmentally friendly species (e.g., non- VOC and/or non-HAP). The co-blowing agent is either a physical co-blowing agent (e.g. an inorganic agent, a hydrocarbon, a halogenated hydrocarbon, a hydrocarbon with polar, functional group(s), water or any combination thereof), or a chemical co-blowing agent, or combinations thereof. The thermoplastic polymer foam can be an alkenyl aromatic polymer foam, e.g. a polystyrene foam. The blowing agent blend can include any combination of methyl formate and one or more co-blowing agents. The methyl formate-based blowing agent blends produce stable foams for various applications, including containers, packaging systems, as well as insulation boards and building materials. Processes for the preparation of such foams are also provided.

EXPANDED AND EXTRUDED THERMOPLASTIC FOAMS MADE WITH METHYL FORMATE-BASED BLOWING AGENTS
Low density expanded and extruded thermoplastic polymer foams are obtained using an environmentally benign non-VOC and non-HAP methyl formate as a blowing agent. The blowing agent can be a blend further including at least one co- blowing agent, preferably an environmentally friendly species (e.g., non-VOC and/or non-HAP). The co--blowing agent is either a physical co-blowing agent (e.g. an inorganic agent, a hydrocarbon, a halogenated hydrocarbon, a hydrocarbon with polar, functional group(s), water or any combination thereof), or a chemical co-blowing agent, or combinations thereof.

METHOD OF MAKING AN END TERMINATION ON A RECLOSABLE FASTENER
A method of making an end termination on a reclosable fastener comprises: providing a reclosable fastener including first and second tracks with first and second profiles, said first track having an end portion and said second track having an end portion joined to the end portion of the first track, said first and second profiles being releasably engageable to each other; slidably mounting a slider for movement between open and closed positions to said fastener, the slider having a separating finger having a front surface facing the joined end portions of the first and seconds tracks, opposing sides, and a back surface; and forming an end termination at the joined end portions, the end termination shaped to receive the separating finger, the end termination configured to contract behind at least a portion of the back surface of the separating finger when received by the end termination.
A cupholder for holding containers is provided with a number of container- holding cavities. Each of the container-holding cavities includes pairs of gripping flanges that extend inwardly toward centers of the cavities. The flanges include gripping points that extend toward each other and exert a gripping force along a bottom of an inserted container. The gripping flanges are pliable to accept a variety of inserted container sizes, but resilient enough to exert a container-holding force against containers inserted into the container-holding cavities.
A47F 5/00 - Show stands, hangers, or shelves characterised by their constructional features
A47F 10/06 - Furniture or installations specially adapted to particular types of service systems, not otherwise provided for for restaurant service systems
B65D 1/36 - Trays or like shallow containers with moulded compartments or partitions
An optional venting container comprises a base and a lid. The lid is releasably latched to the base. The lid comprises at least one ventable area formed therein. The at least one ventable area is adapted to form a vent only upon a user asserting pressure thereon. The lid is made from a polymeric foam.
