  • the invention discloses a container that is expensive to produce and where the lid is difficult to remove and to produce.
  • the present invention relates to a container comprising a first container part and a second container part where the first container part is arranged to the second container part with a connection interface arranged with a sealing tape and where the first container part could be removed from the second container part after removal of the sealing tape.
  • the disclosed invention relates to a container, such as a dispensing container, wherein the container is configured with a pre-arranged seal or opening to allow the container to separate, or divide, into an upper portion, the second part, and a lower portion for re-use, the first part.
  • the connection interface between the second part and the first part is arranged with a tape seal to fixate the first part to the second part and to prevent leakage from the container and to preserve the content of the container from, for example, exposure to oxygen or other undesirable particles and/or substances.
  • Advantages of the invention includes better usage of the content in pre-filled containers for different liquids such as different kinds of lotions, skin cream, shampoo, conditioner or other liquids.
  • the invention relates to a container, such as a dispensing container, wherein the container is configured with a connection interface that separates the container into a larger upper portion, the second part, and a smaller lower portion for re-use, the first part.
  • the connection interface is arranged with a tape seal to fixate the first part to the second part and to prevent leakage from the container and to preserve the content of the container from, for example, exposure to oxygen or other undesirable particles/substances.
  • the smaller lower portion, the first part of the container is of the size that is TSA (Transportation Security Administration), or other organization such as IATA or ICAO, approved for allowing travel convenience.
  • TSA Transportation Security Administration
  • IATA IATA
