Abstract: A resealable packaging container for housing goods includes a wrapper of a flexible material that encloses the goods within. A perforated panel is cut into the wrapper for movement between open and closed positions. The perforated panel defines a wrapper opening in the wrapper when the perforated panel is in the open position to allow access to the goods disposed within the resealable packaging container. A pressure sensitive coated collar adhesively engages the inner surface of the wrapper underneath the perforated panel to partially surround the wrapper opening. The pressure sensitive coated collar includes an open central portion that is disposed inwardly of the wrapper opening and an exposed region that extends between the wrapper opening and the open central portion. The perforated panel reseals to the exposed region of the pressure sensitive coated collar in the closed position.

Abstract: A reclosable bag for storing edibles is provided and includes a body having an inner surface defining an inner volume that receives the edibles and an outer surface formed on an opposite side of the body than the inner surface. A seal extends substantially parallel to a longitudinal axis of the body and is formed by joining a first portion of the inner surface to a second portion of the inner surface. A deadfold material is disposed in the seal between the first portion of the inner surface and the second portion of the inner surface, is formed from a malleable material, and is retained in position along the body by the seal.

Abstract: A container of the present invention is designed for shipping and holding various items. The container is formed from a blank of a material, such as corrugated material, plastic, paperboard, etc. and includes side panels extending between a top portion and a bottom portion. A tear line extends around the side panels for disengaging the top portion from the container thereby exposing all of the items extending along the side panels. An improved configuration of the perforations or slits along the tear line prevents the corners defined between the side panels from being damaged and deformed and provides for smooth tearing of the tear line from the container. A second tear section is defined in the a portion of the container by a perforation line with the tear section being separable from the top portion thereby partially exposing the items contained in the container.

Abstract: A method of producing a packaged food product begins by directing a plurality of food particles into a flexible container to at least partially fill the flexible container. A quantity of air is then evacuated out of the flexible container to create a vacuum within the flexible container. Next, an opening in the flexible container is sealed or closed. Air is then allowed to seep through a sidewall of the container after closing or sealing the flexible container to permit air to gradually flow back into the flexible container to gradually dissipate the vacuum within the flexible container.

Abstract: A product for retail sale includes a food product exhibiting the characteristic of syneresis in an improved container. The product minimizes the problems and inconvenience associated with dispensing such food products from conventional bottles. The container has a generally box-like shape with a spout located near the base of the container. The contents may be dispensed by squeezing without inverting the container. The product may be stacked for efficient storage, shipping, and display.

Abstract: A recyclable multilayer ethylene polymer sheet structure for constructing a package to hold bulk products such as dry pet food having an odoriferous component, the sheet having, from the inner surface contacting the product, to the outer non-product contacting surface the structure:LLDPE/HDPE/LLDPE/BR/LDPEwhere LLDPE is a linear low density polyethylene, HDPE is a high density polyethylene and BR is an odor barrier resin such as ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer having odor barrier properties and LDPE is low density polyethylene.

Abstract: Retortable high panel strength plastic containers have a recessed circular center portion in the bottom wall of the container which facilitates the volumetric changes in the container during a sterilization process. Examples of containers having this feature are disclosed as well as the cross-sectional profile of the recessed circular center portions of the bottom walls of the containers.
