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.

Container and lid with multiple seals therebetween and methods for making and using the same

A packaging assembly includes a container body defining an interior for housing a product and an opening leading to the interior. The assembly further includes a cap that moves with respect to the container body to move the assembly between a closed position in which the cap covers the opening, and an opened position in which the opening is exposed. A first seal () is defined between the container body and the cap. The first seal includes a protrusion () formed on one of the container body about the opening or the cap, and a groove () formed on the other of the container body about the opening or the cap. The protrusion is received by the groove when the assembly is in the closed position, such that contact is maintained in a sealing relationship around the opening between the groove and the protrusion.

Packaging sealing system and a packaging assembly including such a sealing system

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. 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.

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.

Moisture tight containers and methods of making and using the same

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 container includes a container body (), optionally a lid (), and an insert () secured, optionally fixedly secured within an interior of the container body. The insert has a base material, optionally a polymer, for providing structure to the insert, and a desiccant. The insert further has an opening leading to an interior compartment () configured for housing products and an outer surface () facing an inner surface of the container body. A void is provided between an exposed portion of the outer surface of the insert and a portion of the inner surface of the container body. At least one fluid pathway is provided between the void and the interior compartment of the insert.
