A method of making a tube () includes forming at least one tube layer (); and forming at least one film layer () on the at least one tube layer, wherein the at least a portion of the at least one film layer does not completely overlap the at least one tube layer.

Method of making a tube and tube

An oral care implement having an optical machine-readable representation of data, such as a barcode. The oral care implement may include a plurality of protrusions that at least partially define the optical machine-readable representation of data. Specifically, portions of the plurality of protrusions have a color that visually contrasts with a color of a surface that is exposed between the plurality of protrusions. Thus, the protrusions and the exposed surface collectively form the optical machine-readable representation of data. The oral care implement may include a soft tissue cleaner that forms the optical machine-readable representation of data.

Oral care implement

A fitment for a sachet includes a body having a slot that extends from a lower surface of the body toward an upper surface of the body. The upper surface caps the slot in a first portion of the body such that fluid flow is prevented through the first portion of the body in a direction from the lower surface toward the upper surface. The slot connects to an opening in the upper surface in a second portion of the body. A flow path exists through the slot and the opening in the second portion of the body in the direction from the lower surface toward the upper surface.

Detachable fitment

Disclosed is a toothbrush comprising an optical machine-readable representation of data, such as a barcode. Also disclosed is an oral care implement comprising a surface and a plurality of protrusions extending at least 1 millimeter from the surface, the protrusions at least partially defining an optical machine-readable representation of data, such as a barcode. Also disclosed is a system, comprising: an oral care implement comprising an optical machine-readable representation of data, such as a barcode; and a device comprising a processor and memory storing computer readable instructions for causing the processor to process an image of the optical machine-readable representation of data to extract the data from the image.

Described herein are packages for storing and dispensing multi-part tooth whitening formulations, comprising a deformable material configured to form two or more sealed chambers, e.g., wherein the first chamber contains a low viscosity liquid solution comprising an enzyme having perhydrolytic activity, and the second chamber contains a peroxide source and a at least one acyl donor substrate. Particular multi-part tooth whitening formulations using this principle and methods of use thereof are also provided.

System providing perhydrolase-catalyzed reaction

A package () for containing a fluidic product. In one embodiment of the invention, the package comprises a first laminate sheet () and a second laminate sheet () thermoformed together to form a unitary body (). The unitary body () has a product containing portion () having a product cavity containing a fluidic product, a nozzle portion () for dispensing the fluidic product from the product cavity, and a break-off cap () sealing a dispensing orifice of the nozzle portion (). Each of the first and second laminate sheets () includes a layer of polyethylene (PE) and a layer of polyethylene terephthalate (PET). The layer of PE has a first thickness and the layer of PET has a second thickness, the second thickness being less than or equal to the first thickness.

Package having unitary body including a break-off cap

A container and product system comprising a container adapted to house a product, the container comprising a substantially transparent multi-layered laminate body and a product housed in the container, the product comprising dyes, lakes, or both.

UV-protected container with products having dyes or lakes

Injection stretch blowmolded polyester tubes have been developed for use in packaging water-containing products. Polyester resins have good barrier properties for organic materials but poor moisture barrier properties. It has been found that the moisture barrier properties can be increased by coating the exterior surface of the tube with a first material which adheres to the tube polyester surface and to an overlayer of a moisture barrier comprising polyvinylidene chloride, However, since the overlayer of polyvinylidene chloride can develop a yellow tint, the overlayer in one embodiment is coated with an opaque decorative layer to prevent or mask the gradual yellowing of the polyvinylidene chloride overlayer. In another embodiment where the tube is to be substantially transparent, the product in the tube will have a color that will substantially cancel the yellow tint that is developed by the polyvinylidene chloride overlayer. In a further embodiment the tube is of a color to cancel out the yellow tint color of the polyvinylidene chloride layer. The moisture transmission of the tube wall in any of the embodiments is reduced to less than about 1 gram/m,/day. In a preferred embodiment both the tube wall and the upper tube shoulder have this coating structure to decrease moisture loss from the contained product through both the tube shoulder and the sidewall.
