Abstract
A method for making a tamper-resistant container, comprising depositing a first adhesive on a container, wherein the container includes a closed lower portion, a middle portion adapted for storing contents, and a closeable upper portion, wherein the first adhesive is deposited at a predetermined location on an exterior surface of a first panel of the container; folding the closeable upper portion a first time; and subsequent to folding the closeable upper portion the first time, folding the closeable upper portion at least a second time such that the first adhesive contacts a second panel of the container, thereby securely sealing the container in a tamper-resistant manner.

A method for making a tamper-resistant container, comprising:
- (a) depositing a first adhesive on a container, wherein the container includes a closed lower portion, a middle portion adapted for storing contents, and a closeable upper portion, wherein the first adhesive is deposited at a predetermined location on an exterior surface of a first panel of the container;
- (b) folding the closeable upper portion a first time;
- and
- (c) subsequent to folding the closeable upper portion the first time, folding the closeable upper portion at least a second time such that the first adhesive contacts a second panel of the container to securely seal the container in a tamper-resistant manner.
A method for making a tamper-resistant container, comprising:
- (a) depositing a first adhesive on a container, wherein the container includes a closed lower portion, a middle portion adapted for storing contents, and a closeable upper portion, wherein the first adhesive is deposited at a predetermined location on an exterior surface of a first panel of the container;
- (b) depositing a second adhesive at a predetermined location on an exterior surface of a second panel of the container, wherein the first panel is opposite the second panel;
- (c) folding the closeable upper portion a first time;
- and
- (d) subsequent to folding the closeable upper portion the first time, folding the closeable upper portion at least a second time until the first adhesive contacts the second adhesive to securely seal the container in a tamper-resistant manner,
- wherein separating the first and second adhesives damages the container and provides evidence of tampering.
A method for making a tamper-resistant container, comprising:
- (a) depositing a first adhesive on a container, wherein the container includes a closed lower portion, a middle portion adapted for storing contents, and a closeable upper portion, wherein the first adhesive is deposited at a predetermined location on an exterior surface of a first panel of the container, and wherein the container is a paper or plastic bag;
- (b) depositing a second adhesive at a predetermined location on an exterior surface of a second panel of the container, wherein the first panel is opposite the second panel;
- (c) joining together an upper area of the first panel and an upper area of the second panel such that the closeable upper portion of the container is closed;
- (d) folding the joined upper areas of the first and second panels a first time such that the first adhesive is adjacent to the second adhesive;
- and
- (e) folding the joined upper areas of the first and second panels at least a second time until the first adhesive contacts the second adhesive to securely seal the container in a tamper-resistant manner,
- wherein separating the first and second adhesives damages the container and provides evidence of tampering.
