A venting cap liner has a bottom surface facing an annular bottle lip surrounding an open top end of a bottle neck, and a top surface facing an inner top wall of a closure cap, the liner being configured to provide a gas-permeable but liquid-impervious seal that is resistant to rupture when a downwardly directed torque is applied in a thickness direction of the liner body to compression seal the liner body between the annular bottle lip and the inner top wall of the cap. In one embodiment, a two-layer liner body includes a bottom layer of a mineral-filler based polyolefin (MFP) material that is substantially liquid-impervious while allowing release of gas evolving from a liquid product in the bottle, and a top layer comprising a polyolefin (PO) foam material having a grooved upper surface with channels facing the inner top wall of the cap, and a plurality of through-holes extending in a thickness direction, wherein the layers of the liner body allow gas, evolving from a product in the sealed bottle, to permeate out the open top end of the bottle neck, through the MFP material, the through-holes of the PO foam material and along the channels to flow out of an area between an exterior surface of the bottle neck and a peripheral cap flange.

Cap liner

A paint application container includes a first half and a second half. The first half includes an inner upper edge and an outer upper edge defining a continuous channel therebetween. The second half includes a continuous upper edge. The continuous upper edge of the second half aligns with and entirely fits within the continuous channel of the first half. A receptacle is defined in between the first half and the second half. The receptacle sized to fit a paint applicator therein. At least one clamp releasably couples the first half to the second half to hold the continuous upper edge within the continuous channel and create an air tight seal between the receptacle and outside air.
