Abstract: The invention is directed to a system and method for sealing a closure to a container comprising a die assembly, a mandrel assembly, and a gas evacuation assembly. The mandrel assembly comprises an outer mandrel and an inner mandrel. The outer mandrel is configured to vertically translate and constrain a closure in position. The gas evacuation assembly, which comprises at least one interior channel within the die and one or more channel openings into the interior of the die, suctions gas from the interior of an aligned container when the closure is constrained in position. The inner mandrel translates vertically to insert the closure into the container and a sealing member seals the closure in place.

Abstract: A process for packaging a product in which a hood is fitted to a tray. The hood is erected by a process that includes a step of providing a flat blank. The flat blank includes a leading panel and a trailing panel. A flat insert is provided and adhered to a panel selected from the group of the leading panel, the trailing panel of the hood, and combinations thereof. The die used to erect the hood includes a die recess. When the die is positioned within the mold, the central portion of the flat insert becomes spaced apart from the hood top. The die recess provides for space to accommodate the central portion of the flat insert becoming spaced apart from the hood top.
