An inflatable web includes two juxtaposed sheets, seals between the sheets that define chambers, and two longitudinal edges. The chambers extend in a transverse direction between the two longitudinal edges. The seals include side seals that extend between the two longitudinal edges. The side seals include a two intermittent side seals and a continuous side seal. Each of the intermittent side seals includes side seal portions and gaps between the side seal portions. The gaps permit gas to pass between chambers on either side of the intermittent side seals. The continuous side seal is located between the two intermittent side seals. The continuous side seal does not permit gas to pass between chambers on either side of the continuous side seal. The gaps in the two intermittent side seals are aligned a longitudinal direction to form a non-continuous longitudinal channel across the continuous side seal.

A retention packaging assembly () includes an end retention frame () that retains one lateral side of an object () and another retention frame () that retains another lateral side of the object. Each of the retention frames includes a retention panel, an end panel () foldably coupled to the retention panel, a set of wing panels configured to be folded into a folded configuration, and a sheet () fixedly coupled to each of the wing panels. Each end retention frame retains a lateral side of the object between the sheet and the retention panel when the wing panels are in the folded configuration. In some cases, the end retention frames are laterally spaced away from each other such that they do not contact each other when they retain the lateral sides of the object.

A system for dispensing a liquid includes a source () of a liquid that crystallizes upon exposure to water moisture in air (e.g., an isocyanate). A dispenser () includes an inlet conduit () for receiving the liquid from the source, an outlet conduit () for dispensing the liquid out of an outlet opening exposed to air, and a valve () between the inlet () and outlet conduits (). In the closed position of the valve (i) an upstream portion of the liquid is retained in the inlet conduit () on the upstream side of the valve () and (ii) a downstream portion of the liquid extending from the downstream side of the valve to the outlet opening is retained in the outlet conduit () on the downstream side of the valve (). The size of the outlet opening of the outlet conduit () is sufficiently small to retain the downstream portion of the liquid in the outlet conduit when the valve () is in the closed position.
