A method of over-molding materials includes: providing a first material in a groove in a first portion of a mold such that only a single surface of the first material is exposed to a vacant portion of the mold; providing, via an injection molding process, a second material in a liquid form in the vacant portion of the mold adjacent to, and in engagement with, the first material; and allowing the second material to solidify and become directly coupled to the first material, thus forming a single component. During the method, the entire single surface of the first material is flush with a plane defined by outer surface of the first portion of the mold. The second material has one or both of a greater hardness when solidified than the first material and/or a higher melting temperature than the first material.

Methods of overmolding softer material with harder material and moisture tight container assemblies made by the methods

A moisture tight container includes a container body and a lid preferably linked to the body by a hinge. The body and lid include at least a first seal and a second seal in series to provide a moisture tight seal between the body and the lid. The first seal includes mating of thermoplastic-to-thermoplastic sealing surfaces of the body and lid respectively. The second seal includes mating of thermoplastic-to-elastomeric sealing surfaces of the body and lid, respectively, or of the lid and body, respectively.

A method for storing and preserving moisture sensitive products includes providing a moisture tight container () having an insert () made from a desiccant entrained polymer that is less than 3.25 g in mass, disposing a plurality of moisture sensitive products into the interior compartment when the container is in the open position, and moving the container into the closed position, thereby creating a moisture tight seal between the lid () and the container body (). The container provides a shelf life to the moisture sensitive products of at least 12 months. The container, when in the closed position, has a moisture vapor transmission rate, at ambient conditions of 30&#xb0; C. and 75% relative humidity (RH), of less than 500|ig/day.

A child resistant container is for containing at least one product, such as medicine. The child resistant container includes a body, a lid, and a directing portion. The body has an end portion defining an opening leading to an interior of the body. The lid is connected to the body via a hinge, and includes a cover portion and a protrusion extending outwardly therefrom. The cover portion is configured to move between a FIRST position corresponding to the cover portion covering the opening, and a SECOND position corresponding to the cover portion not covering the opening. The directing portion extends from one of the body and the cover portion, and at least partially encloses the protrusion when the cover portion is in the FIRST position. When the cover portion moves from the FIRST position to the SECOND position, the protrusion moves away from the directing portion.
